Game of the Week: Morozevich, Laznicka

The European Club Cup saw a surprise winner as the Czech team G-Team Novy Bor rode a crucial victory over defending champions SOCAR to take first prize with six match victories and one tie. In the fourth round match with ultimate second place finishers Malachite, the Czech third board Viktor Laznicka contested a fascinating game with Russian grandmaster Alexander Morozevich. In the cold light of the computer we see quite a few mistakes were made, but in such a bizarre position, I for one would not be too quick to judge. Let’s just enjoy it instead.
