Esipenko - Van Nguyen | Overextending yourself in Catalan is dangerous

Esipenko plays one of his repertoire opening which is cataln. Normally this opening is more effective against lower rated opponents. Against equal strength players you want something more dinamic. Esipenko gets small advantage from the opeing, but as many times in catalan looses some momentum because white is developing slowly at some point. Black is better develloped and have concrete threats before White develops comfortably with advantage.
