Wei Yi’s masterpiece against GM Lazaro Bruzon Bautista is one of the greatest chess games of all time. Wei Yi’s initial Rxf7!! sacrifice is merely the prelude to a dazzling series of quiet moves that inexorably close the net against a slippery king.
Lessons:
* Play …Re8! in the Schevinengen.
* Checkmate is not about finding check; it’s about covering escape squares.
* Anticipate your opponent’s defense. e.g. …Bxg2+ and …Qa8+ – Qe4
