The 8-year-old boy wanted to learn an antidote against the Catalan from the black side. Daniil Dubov has been playing an offbeat line of the Catalan a lot and has already beaten Magnus Carlsen with it. The little boy asked his dad for a solution.
The dad suggested an interesting idea where you take the pawn on c4 and don't give it back! The boy learns it and goes to his game on the following day. Guess what happens next?
PS: This video is inspired by the real-life game between two Indian GMs Arjun Erigaisi and Harsha Bharathakoti from the Indian Qualifiers of the Champions Chesa Tour.
