This issue sees the introduction of a new column: “All in One”. What is the idea behind it? Using a single extensively annotated game, an expert will show you a topical opening line. Here the analysis is so deep and so comprehensive that using just this one game you can learn all the essentials and have available for your own practice a reliable basis. The starting gun on the DVD will be fired by no less than top GM and theoretician Anish Giri with a provocative Scandinavian and with an Anti-Keres-Sicilian by Magnus Carlsen!
This rather rare line was employed many times recently by Austrian expert Georg Froewis, but was only brought into the limelight when it occured in the prestigeous online tournament Lindores Abbey in the game Karjakin-Dubov. From the above diagram, play might continue 6.Nb5 Qd8 7.d5 (Bf4 Nd5) Nb4 8.c4 Na6!? 9.Bf4 e6, and now the sharpest continuation is 10.d6
which after 10...c6 leads to highly unusual and messy positions - "...something Black is probably looking forward to, playing this line - an interesting surprise weapon!"
