Subscribe for the weekly Top GM Secrets bulletin and enter the "Christmas2013" bonus code to get a 25% discount! Mamedyarov is probably one of the most fighting players currently. In some of his interviews he even said: " I just don't know how to make draws"! And of course he didn't disappoint his fans in this game either. After an interesting opening White quickly takes over and ends the game with a sparkling attack. Be first to comment this article
