Vidit Gujrathi's WOW! Opening Preparation | 17.h3 in Bd2 Nimzo | Opera Euro Rapid

He had blitzed out his moves until that point. The novelty had come on move 14, and there we were after move 16. Vidit pushed his h-pawn to h3 taking just 8 seconds. This was his round 2 game of Opera Euro Rapid from the Champions Chess Tour.

IM Sagar Shah who was commentating live on the game, couldn't understand the point of the move. He thought it was a general improving move. But when he dug deeper, he understood that the repercussions of this move went 10 moves deep! Check out how a little rook pawn move can impact the game in a huge way. This video also helps you to appreciate how deep the game of chess is and how hard these top players work for their opening preparation.
