Wei Yi and the Quest for Initiative

Both the games really seem extra-terrestrial and give a sense of how strong GMs are. Wei Yi seems very calm but inside the mind is ruthless. rooting for him to atleast reach Candidates next time.

Cool, and gratz to Wei Yi for playing in a fun manner. The game against Max is lacking analysis... article doesnt mention that the completely crazy position was actually equal for a long time. Black seems to have gone wrong with 16...Bxf3 when instead they shouldve pursued an idea beginning with 16...a5 , idea quite simply ...b5 and ...a4 trapping bishop.

For a little bit, that Nh1 is indirectly defended (Qa1+ stuff) , and the black pawn moves would force White's hand to trade off pieces and let Black's other pieces breathe
