Richard Rapport is one of the most original and creative players of his generation, famous for his love of rare openings and unexpected moves that no one else would dare attempt. Across the board, Boris Gelfand — a former World Championship finalist (2012) — brings encyclopaedic theoretical knowledge and decades of elite experience. When the unpredictable Rapport unleashes the King’s Gambit against such a pillar of opening theory, you can expect pure chess entertainment.
