🔥Game of Olympiad 💪Gukesh crush Wei ‼

Fide Chess Olympiad 2024
In this intense and high-stakes encounter from the seventh round of the 2024 Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Gukesh, representing India, faces off against Wei Yi of China on the top board. With Ding Liren sitting out, anticipation builds as both players prepare for a critical match.
Gukesh begins with 1. e4, met by Wei’s response of the Sicilian Defense. The game quickly transitions into a complex middlegame, centered around control of key squares, especially d5. As the tension escalates, Gukesh creates tactical imbalances with a bold Knight move, while Wei gains a strong central pawn structure. Gukesh, however, fights back with precise exchanges, turning the position in his favor.
The game then enters a highly complex endgame, with Gukesh managing two knights against Wei's rook. Displaying exceptional defensive skills, Gukesh maneuvers his knights to defend his pawns, while also stifling Wei’s counterplay. Both players find critical resources, maintaining a tense balance throughout the endgame.
In the final moments, Gukesh brilliantly advances his f-pawn, securing a winning position despite Wei's attempts to counterattack. He ultimately outplays Wei, queening his pawn and clinching victory for India. This critical win gives India a key point, putting them in the lead in the Olympiad.
This game is widely regarded as one of Gukesh’s finest endgame performances under immense pressure.
