A two-time Russian champion
Plenty of exciting chess was seen at the recent Russian Superfinals, so much so that “Game of the Week” host Merijn van Delft changed his mind at the last minute as Daniil Dubov was about to score a fantastic win over Sergey Karjakin while he was starting to record the show.
Luckily for Daniel King, Van Delft’s original choice was also a brilliant encounter. In it, the now two-time Russian champion took down Andrey Esipenko’s Petroff Defence. ‘Nepo’ gave up a piece for an attack and then showed great precision to convert his advantage into a full point.
