🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 2
⚪️Hou,Yifan (2680)
⚫️Mamedyarov,Shakhriyar (2804)
🔸0-1

📘 Mamedyarov with active play and putting pressure on the light square achieves a better position.
18...Na5! 19.Qd3 c6 20.Rbb1 Qf5! 21.a4 g5 22.Nh5 Q×d3 23.R×d3 Nd5 =/+

🔸Tata Steel Masters 2018
🔸Round 2
⚪️Wei,Yi (2743)
⚫️Svidler,Peter (2768)
🔸½-½

📘 Svidler has built a fortress. He can easily keep the position with waiting moves like Kg7-f8-g8 or Rf6. Trading the rooks also lead to a draw.
