NM 2010 Class 3, Game 9, Benoni, Four Pawn Attack

Picture #2 - A very proud Yngve Rasdal
Picture #3 - Caro-Kann Defence became a favorite

This is not my own game, but a very important game for Yngve Rasdal in class 3 under this year's Norwegian Chess Championship. Before the ninth and last game Yngve is in second place with 6.5 points. His opponent, Ryaad Aabid is in first place with 7.0 points. A draw is not possible. he needs a victory to get first place. And from the moment the game starts, he goes for an attack. I thought his opening was bold and daring and his attack likewise. But what a beautiful and elegant game. And how proud he was after his victory and first place in class 3 was secured. Great game, Yngve.
