In this video lesson, the RCA guest coach IM Alexandru Banzea presents to you the game played between Dariusz Swiercz and Hikaru Nakamura in the PRO Chess League 2020. It was a rapid game and the Berlin Defense was played 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0.
Dariusz is a Polish chess player playing for the United States. He is one of the youngest in history and the youngest Polish of all time to qualify for the title Grandmaster at the age of 14 years and 7 months in 2009. And in this game, he was playing against a five-time United States Chess Champion.
Needless to say, both the players had a very strong positional understanding. Yet, Dariusz was coordinating his pieces really well, made the right exchanges, got an outpost for his knight, played a ‘waiting game’ with his rook maneuver, which ultimately gave a positional advantage to him. Eventually, Hikaru made a couple of mistakes because of which Dariusz was able to convert his positional advantage into a win.
