Andreikin, D. – Mamedyarov, S.

2712 2017 · Checkmate — White wins

Dmitry Andreikin, a solid and deeply positional Russian grandmaster, takes on the explosive Shakhriyar Mamedyarov — the Azerbaijani powerhouse who has spent years hovering in the world’s top 10 thanks to his all-out attacking style. The Trompowsky Attack sets the stage for a minefield of a game where both players are equally capable of pulling off a stunning surprise. Two contrasting chess personalities, one sharp opening — a recipe for serious entertainment.
