20th Linares International Chess Super-Tournament
侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), 新浪微博 (Sina Wēibó), July 21, 2020
At the time, the Linares Tournament in Spain was an unmissable annual rendez-vous for most élite Grandmasters — unfortunately, it has been suspended since 2010.
In 2003 Kasparov was still the god of chess as his legend continued to grow (he retired in 2005).
Instead, his opponent, Radjabov, at the time only 15 years old, was none other than a rising star (today he is in the world’s top ten).
The game between them, however, made a deep impression on me when I was young:
21. ... Ng4xe5!! What a stunning move! Black sacrifices the Knight on profound positional grounds, aiming at opening the centre to breakthrough to the King.
Although at first Kasparov coped with it correctly, eventually the younger man came to make his dream come true: to win the game, thus ending the myth of Kasparov’s six-year-long unbeaten streak in Linares.
In conclusion, do my friends desire to know the true face of 庐山 (Lúshān)? 🐰 Then have a look at the winner’s own updated commentary 👀:
