Game of the Week: Robson, Shanglei

The USA-China match in Ningbo resulted in a lopsided victory for the very young home team. Both squads were quite young, with only two Americans born before the eighties, and no Chinese players older than 27. But we will focus on one particular game, a resounding victory for Ray Robson over his fellow teenager, Lu Shanglei. In a sharp Najdorf variation Robson found an idea to challenge the conventional wisdom of a position, and send future opponents in search of an improvement.
