GM Jan Gustafsson takes us through some amazing chess played between Yuri Vovk (2617) and Wei Yi (2734) in the FIDE World Cup 2015.

Grandmaster Jan Gustafsson takes a look at the most spectacular Round 1 game of the FIDE Chess World Cup, played between the US-American prodigy Ray Robson and GM Yuriy Vovk from Ukraine.  

"The game of the day was, in my opinion, Vovk's excellent victory over Robson" GM Alejandro Ramirez.

Vovk Yuri said: "Why I really love this game it's a nice educative example how even a low number of well-coordinated pieces can launch a powerful attack on opponent's king". This game confirms Yuri Vovk to be a strong attacking player.

This game was played in spirit of best old masters games. If it were not date mentioned, one could really believe this is one of Morphy or Chigorin masterpiece. Firework of sacrifices, exceptional decisions and witty comments by Yuri promise you much fun!
