With the 2011 Tal Memorial coming to an end, I thought it be appropriate to release this interview I did with Grandmaster Michał Krasenkow (pronounced and sometimes spelled "Mikhail") back in August. Mikhail Krasenkow is a Soviet born Polish chess master whose peak FIDE briefly surpassed 2700 in July of 2000. He tied for 1st at both the 1992 and the 1997 Tal Memorials. However he is probably most well known for his contributions to opening theory.

at 0:49 you call this the something attack, i always thought this was the meran variation of d4 ?

[OnlineChessLessons]

@mcpartridgeboy i think this is called the Shabalov Attack - characterized by that early g4!? and black is playing the Slav Defense. The Meran Variation arises out of a different move order, where black usually waits for white to develop his Bf1 and then plays dxc4 followed by b5 to gain a tempo on the white bishop. hope that was clear enough!

Awesome! wow!

[mcpartridgeboy]

@OnlineChessLessons great, thankyou very much !

@HistoryMan4444 I think the biggest problem is your defensive nature. You said it's soon. Not today. Not in an hour. and yet you already claim that William is your only hope. Don't give up. Don't let yourself believe something is your last hope. The only time you know you have no other hope is when you're buried without breathe in your lungs. Research. Watch videos. Play a bunch of chess against aggressive players. There's always hope for those who seek.
