Not only are there very few pieces on the board, material is equal.
If Black had the move then the players could agree a draw, however it is White to play, can you find a forcing way to claim the win?
White to Move
Just for a change we have two games of the week
The first is between 2 Indian young talents and the second game is from the Thanet All Play All League. In both games we see a fairly level opening followed by one player gradually getting the upper hand.
I find the pair of games instructive to watch how simple moves and gaining activity for the pieces can quickly lead to overwhelming positions.
In Game one we see a young IM take down his higher rated opponent
White: Ghosh Aronyak Black: Ab Gupta

In game two we see a very nice win from the Thanet All Play All
White: John Hunt Black: Robert Starley
