GM Ernst Gruenfeld's Chess Tactics
|

Saturday, 05 April 2014 |
By GM Kevin Spraggett, Canada.
Best FIDE rating: 2633
Kevin's blog (parental advisory)
All of todays examples are taken from the games of Ernst Gruenfeld (November 21, 1893 April 3, 1962). One of Europes strongest players and most important opening theoreticians, Gruenfeld had a hypermodern approach to the opening when Black, specializing in the Alekhine Defence and Gruenfeld (!) Defence. With the White pieces he was a thoroughly classical player. Gruenfeld had an excellent tactical flair, though as we can see below, he was at times a victim of the tactical skill of his opponents!
