Two More Games from the Wesley So-Wei Yi Match

Here are a couple more games from the Wesley So-Wei Yi match, both featuring some attractive tactical shots. The first saw a dazzling swindle by So, the second a great tactical idea by Wei Yi. While the Chinese player should have gone 2-0 in the two games, however, it was the American who won both games. While practically everything went right for So in the match, it would be a mistake to think that these games were typical. In fact, So often outplayed his opponent straight up, but these games show that even when he was under duress he was still able to fight his way out of trouble.
