Watch a detailed chess analysis video featuring a sharp game between Lars Bo Hansen and Vasyl Ivanchuk from the 1986/87 European Youth Championship. Observe how Ivanchuk confronts the Pseudo-Catalan Opening by immediately challenging Hansen's center with his c-pawn, maintaining active possibilities for his light-squared bishop by avoiding an early e6 commitment. Learn how Ivanchuk obtains a decisive advantage after only 12 moves, followed by a complete collapse of Hansen's kingside. The video includes the full PGN notation and is presented by a self-taught National Master from Pennsylvania who shares chess knowledge to help players improve their game.
