Game of the Week: Robson, Volokitin

Four of the nine Americans advanced to the second round in the Fide World Cup in Norway, but none more spectacularly than 19-year-old Ray Robson. Robson scored a convincing 2-0 victory over the higher rated Andrei Volokitin of the Ukraine. The first game was a particular gem. Robson used some clever opening preparation to put Volokitin in less familiar territory, than smoked him with some well-calculated tactics. Let’s have a look and enjoy.
