Title: Ahhh These Youngsters! - Wei Yi vs Navara | Fide Grand Prix Jerusalem
Opening: Nimzo-Larsen Attack

Hello Chess Friends and Welcome to the Channel. At the Fide Grand Prix in Jerusalem Wei Yi and David Navara just played the tie-break to access the final against Nepo.We are going to watch together the decisive game of the tie-break, the second long rapid game. Let's start


1. Nf3 d5 2. b3 {this is the Nimzo-Larsen Attack} Bf5 {out of the pawn chain}
3. Bb2 e6 4. d3 {when we see white playing like this, we don't take him so
seriously, but there is little to laugh because with this setup in 2017,
Richard Rapport won against Carlsen at the Tata Steel in Wijk aan Zee} h6 5.
Nbd2 Nf6 {and now} 6. g3 {for a double fianchetto} c5 7. Ne5 Nbd7 {this looks
like the most natural move. But Stockfish doesn't like it. But Why? Black is
playing an improved French setup and White a slow double fianchetto setup. The
game is a closed game. Stockfish would play} (7... Bd6 8. Bg2 Bxe5 9. Bxe5 Nc6
{with tempo} 10. Bb2 O-O {with complete equality, because for the computer the
Black Knights are as strong as the White bishops}) 8. e4 Bh7 9. Nxd7 Qxd7 10.
Bg2 {White is better. What to play now as Black?. If Be7} Qd8 {played by
Navara is a bad idea} (10... Be7 11. e5 Ng8 {and Black even if not lost, must
lose time to remaneuver the Knight through e7}) (10... d4 {is not a bad idea}
11. O-O Be7 12. f4 O-O {with a bit of initiative for White}) 11. exd5 exd5 12.
Qe2+ Be7 13. Bxf6 gxf6 14. O-O Bf5 15. Rae1 Be6 {protecting the pawn and
closing the e-file} 16. Qh5 {Kf8 is the best move in a desperate position} Qd7
{is another mistake} 17. Rxe6 Qxe6 18. Bxd5 Qd7 19. Bxf7+ Kd8 20. Re1 Kc7 21.
Be6 Qd8 22. Nc4 a6 23. Bd5 Ra7 24. Qf7 Re8 25. Bf3 b5 {is the last mistake.
After} 26. Na5 {Black will lose material in any case} Kb6 {is the last blunder}
27. Nc6 {Navara Resigns.} 1-0



With this victory Wei Yi is in the final Tomorrow it's rest day and in two day he will play to win the fourth leg of the Fide Grand Prix against Nepo. A fantastic result for a player only 20 years old. Navara that until today played a fantastic tournament, was destroyed in this uncommon position.
