Wojtaszek, R. – Ivanchuk, V.

2727 2016 · White wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Radoslaw Wojtaszek, a mainstay of the Polish team and for years one of Anand’s seconds in his World Championship matches, knows his theory inside out. Across the board sits Vassily Ivanchuk — former world number one on the live lists, 2007 World Blitz Champion, and famously unpredictable. Hence the Budapest Gambit, a rarity almost nobody dares to unleash against so formidable a preparer.
