The Grand Prix Attack [B23]

In the Grand Prix Attack there is still a lot of interest in the speculative line with 6 f5.

Biti-Vyparina is a typical example where Black goes astray in the opening and gets crunched.

The game Ristoja-Lauren is another chance for White to show his attacking potential when Black plays poorly in the opening.

Black is worried about the attack in Poulsen-Petersen and actually misses demonstrating checkmate on the board and ends up losing.

Figueiredo-Fernandes is a good demonstration of Black seizing his chances by accepting material in the opening and then defending well.
