Wei Yi delivered a spectacular win against Max Warmerdamyesterday at the Tata Steel Chess 2024! After sacrificing a rook in the 9th move, Wei Yi reached a completely winning position already on the 18th move of play. And all that appeared from the Bishops opening, The Butcher’s specialty! The Bishops opening is one of the oldest analyzed openings ever, and it was particularly popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. However, FIDE Senior Trainer, Miodrag Perunovic (aka The Butcher), brought it back on the world top chess scene after publishing a chessable course on it.
