The king in the middle…
… is a classical chess theme. In this Bundesliga top game the reigning U20 World Champion had sacrificed a pawn to open lines against the black monarch, which was countered with
16…f6. How would you assess this continuation?
A) a mistake, White can decisively penetrate the opponent’s position;
B) good move, Black drives back the bishop and consolidates his plus pawn;
C) much ado about nothing, the position remains balanced.
The solution is here,
