Featured is an instructive chess game between Vasyl Ivanchuk and Vladimir Kramnik from the 1996 Las Palmas Tournament. This is a model game for the Sämisch variation in response to the King’s Indian Defense (KID). Pay special attention to how Ivanchuk maneuvers both knights. After move 28, there is a glaring quality difference between Ivanchuk’s knights and Kramnik’s knights. It should not come as a surprise that in the end a knight fork surfaced. Ivanchuk was in control throughout the entire game, and his play registered an accuracy of 98%.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
