Description
Featured is an instructive chess game between Denis Lazavik and Sergei Zhigalko from Titled Tuesday Blitz on October 27, 2026. Arising from the English Opening, Four Knights variation, a key decision is made by Lazavik with 10. e4, which prevents a quick ...d5 but also creates a hole on d4. We effectively have a race position after 10. e4, with Lazavik playing primarily on the kingside while Zhigalko plays on the queenside. How would you respond to 20. g4?
