Robert Ris: "I have an in-depth look at the 21 moves crushing victory of Tan Zhongyi against Anna Zatonskih from the Cairns Cup.

With the aid of two instructive rook lifts White's kingside attack became irresistible."
Exercise: In the game Black took on d3 and quickly lost. But can you see White's brilliant idea after 17...Kh8?
