We're chess nuts, but let's face it - we're not GMs (yet). And English isn't our first language either. That's why we're double-checking all the card content before the launch. We might've blundered somewhere, so if you spot any issues, give us a shout. We're aiming to create the best game out there, and we need everyone's eagle eyes to make it happen.

In this chess.com lesson, GM Kaidanov shows a very interesting Gelfand-Karpov game where the former takes indirect control of the center as White, while the latter ends up occupying it. A very nice game to study.
