Hello everyone! Today we will be talking about a recent game played in Round 5 of the European Club Cup between Yu and Harikrishna. The game started off as a relatively tame English opening, but a mistake from Harikrishna led to complications by move 12.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the game:
The main takeaways from this game are the importance of development in the opening and keeping your eyes open for sacrifices to immediately exploit your opponent’s lack of development and king safety out of the opening. I hope you guys enjoyed the game and learned something new. As always, if you have any suggestions or questions, leave them in the comment section below. Have a great day 🙂
