Sinquefield Cup

The 2021 Sinquefield Cup has finished and the winner of the tournament is Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. He had a great tournament and played really well. I thoroughly enjoyed watching his games and the commentary of the event. Here is one of Maxime’s wins against Jeffery Xiong where he is able to gain a great deal of space as white in the Ruy Lopez. Another defining feature of the game is the control of the h file and if the game were to have continued you would have seen the Rook heading to h7 giving white complete control of the position.
