Jon Speelman: Pushing the limits of greed and analysis

One of the most popular ideas for my columns here has been to look at great attacking games. Various names have been mentioned, and I’m starting today with a fine example by the Soviet grandmaster Leonid Stein (pictured), one of the greatest attacking players of the mid-20th century. I’ve also continued with the theme of exploring the limits of analysis, with a game from the Sinquefield Cup between D. Gukesh and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. | Photo: Dutch National Archive
