Featured is an excellent attacking game between 14-year-old GM Magnus Carlsen and FM Geir Sune Tallaksen Østmoe from the 2005 Norwegian Chess Championship. The opening is a Queen’s Indian Defense where Østmoe quickly applies pressure to c4 with 4…Ba6 and next b5. After the exchange of Carlsen’s c-pawn for Østmoe’s b-pawn, Østmoe enjoys a stronger pawn presence in the center at the cost of a slightly behind development. After Carlsen’s e4 pawn break, a few of his pieces become active. This pawn break paves the way for a quick rook transfer to the kingside where Carlsen clearly has aggressive intentions for the black king. The young Carlsen won the 2005 Norwegian Chess Championship, scoring 7/9.
