Chessbase 17: the amazing new Search function
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.7 - Dynamic Catalan
Many young top-players are opting for the trendy “Dynamic Catalan” where, against the triangle or semi-slav structures, White can sacrifice a pawn to gain immediate initiative. This sacrifice can lead to long term positional advantage, but often White can unleash dangerous threats upon the black king with a central pawn break.
