Feb-25-13  notyetagm: Yep, a 2700 goes down in flames against Wei Yi.
Feb-25-13  Strongest Force: The kid becomes a GM with this win I think.
Feb-25-13  Jim Bartle: What happened here? As far as I can tell, MVL gave up two pawns for an attack on the kingside, and after only a couple of moves it was clear it didn't work.

-----

France's No1 tried to blow Wei Yi off the board but the 13-year-old coolly refuted the attack and cashed in his extra material. At the end 33. ... Qf1+ 34 Kg3 with Qe3+ forces mate.

Jul-11-13  iking: The French star probably was over-confident and went forward carelessly with <14…g5>. The Chinese took advantage of his opponent’s adventurous ideas and got the win on move 33.> ---
