Ethan Vaz vs Aronyak Ghosh
White to play, find the best move (Double Attack)
Playing with the white pieces, Ethan Vaz got a pretty good position out of the opening where his king was safe and secure, while Aronyak's king looks a little shaky because there is no pawn on the g file. In the above position, Aronyak played 23.b6, and Ethan found a nice double attack to gain a pawn advantage. Ethan played 24. Qe7 attacks the pawn on a7 and e5, and eventually captures one of the pawns. Do check out the game attached below to see how Ethan converted his advantage
