SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES: OUT OF THIS WORLD CHESS @ TATA STEEL!

Today we cover a round one game...

An interesting fight between top Chinese Grandmaster Yi Wei and GM Alexander Donchenko... Four Puzzles on the table for your solving enjoyment! After an interesting opening choice by Alex which was then met and answered nicely by Yi, GM Donchenko was forced to play somewhat speculatively but the Chinese GM brought home the full point after containing his rival's tricky Knight moves.
