Last week we had a look at the first game of the match between Tan Zhongyi and Lei Tingjie. Their fifth game is at least as spectacular and also deserves a closer study. Black came up with a highly ambitious approach to tackle the Zukertort-Colle System. Aggressive pawn play, subtle positional manouevring and precise calculation brought Tingjie Lei a fully deserved ticket for the World Championship match.
