Chess with Errol Tiwari
Today’s feature game is taken from the 2009 Linares super-tournament that was held in March. The tournament was won by Ukranian grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk, who got €100,000 for his effort. World champion Vishy Anand placed fourth in the tournament. Cuba’s Lenier Dominguez gave a creditable performance. Here he holds Chinese grandmaster Wang Yue to a draw.
