Game of the Week #445
The Airthings Masters have come to an end and my colleague Lawrence Trent has already covered the very tense final between Levon Aronian and the impressive winner of the event, Teimour Radjabov. Equally fascinating was the battle for 3rd/4th place between Daniil Dubov and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, which was eventually won by the Frenchman. We will study this epic clash of styles and try to draw some conclusions.
