Olympics: Round 6 Highlight
We'll start catching up on some of the great games from the Olympiad, starting tonight, and we'll begin with Liviu Dieter Nisipeanu's impressive victory against Najdorf specialist Boris Gelfand from round 6. Nisipeanu has had some success with his pet anti-Najdorf plan 6.Be3 e5 7.Nde2!?, and this game confirms that this line is not a one-off experiment. It's also a beautifully thematic good knight vs. bad bishop, good majority vs. bad majority game; have a look, here.
