Games in the Champions Chess online Tour are played with a time control of 15 minutes plus 3-second increments per move. Creative players like Ian Nepomniachtchi or Vladimir Fedoseev tend to try riskier ideas under these circumstances — it is no wonder, therefore, that their direct encounter in the quarterfinals of the Julius Baer Generation Cup (Division II) turned out to be a double-edged, exciting confrontation.
Out of a Petroff Defence, Nepo, playing white, got a strong initiative on the kingside. On move 36, the two-time World Championship challenger found 36.e6, breaking through in style.
Nepo continued to increase his advantage until reaching a completely winning position. However, a mistake on move 42 prompted engines to show zeros on their evaluations.
Furthermore, a second tactical oversight in a row gave Fedoseev a sudden opportunity to win the game himself. Can you find the killer blow?
An attentive Fedoseev had little trouble finding the deciding manoeuvre. And this tactical back-and-forth emerged from what had already been a fascinating struggle from the start.
