Game of the Week: David, Vachier-Lagrave

From the start of this week’s featured game from the Italian Team Championship, you might expect a long, positional struggle. But a quiet opening does not always bring about a quiet game. The veteran grandmaster Alberto David may have thought he was neutralizing the often heavy punch of Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, but he needed a bit more vigilance to keep MVL from going on the attack.
