by Robert Ris
6/8/2024 – In his new Fast & Furious episode, Robert Ris takes another look at one of his favourite subjects - wins by the underdog, the nominally weaker player.

Robert Ris: "This week's show features the board 1 clash in the first round of the World Juniors. Top seed Abhimanyu Mishra got an overwhelming advantage out of a Bogo-Indian against an opponent almost 500 points lower rated, but soon lost his way and went on to lose. What went wrong for Black in the opening and how should White have punished the mistakes?"
