Anti-Moscow Gambit
Rustam Kasimdzhanov
After the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 dxc4 7.e4 g5 8.Bg3 b5 (D43) the Anti-Moscow Gambit arises, currently one of the most hotly contested openings in Grandmaster practice. Ex-FIDE World Champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov gives an introduction starting with the earliest development of this variation, the game Radjabov - Anand played in August 2006.
His chronological presentation of the events is as exiting as a thriller, the ‘scenes of crime’ being the top tournaments of the last two years and the actors the players of the absolute world elite. At the tournament in Wijk aan Zee 2008 Topalov opened a completely new chapter of the variation by beating his arch rival Kramnik in the style of the masters of the 19th century, sacrificing a Knight with 12.Nxf7 early on. Don’t miss this chess thriller (3.5 hours of video).
Rustam Kasimdzhanov. Born in 1979, the Grandmaster from Uzbekistan has for many years been known as a very strong and imaginative player. However, in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process.
