The Richter–Rauzer Attack. The move 6.Bg5 was Kurt Richter’s invention, threatening to double Black’s pawns after Bxf6 and forestalling the Dragon by rendering 6…g6 unplayable. After 6…e6, Vsevolod Rauzer introduced the modern plan of Qd2 and 0-0-0 in the 1930s. White’s pressure on the d6-pawn often compels Black to respond to Bxf6 with …gxf6, rather than recapturing with a piece (e.g. the queen on d8) that also has to defend the d-pawn. This weakens Black’s kingside pawn structure, but in return Black gains the two bishops and a central pawn majority.
Blitz chess (also known as speed or fast chess) is a type of chess in which each player is given less time to consider their moves than normal tournament time controls allow. Openings, tactics and strategy are same.
Tournament organized with support of Coca-Cola company, Rietumu Bank, Tolmets, Latvijas Balzams.
