Featured is an excellent game between D Gukesh and Vincent Keymer from the 2023 TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament. Notice how Gukesh and Keymer, both top 10 for Juniors, slowly maneuver about while the central pawn tension remains. Why is this? Along the way, each side has clearly determined that releasing the tension would not benefit them. What played a key role in Gukesh's dark-squared bishop being so dangerous was his patience with his d-pawn.
