Game of the Week 368

Luke McShane remains a remarkable figure in chess, one of the greatest fighters of our time. In the German Bundesliga he repeatedly had the longest game of the day with over 100 moves. The Netanya Masters in Israel had a slow start with a quite a few peaceful quick draws, but McShane is his good old self so far with a 2 out of 2 start and true fighting chess. Tonight we'll examine his eventful game against Eljanov.
