Wei Yi Shows Us a Way to Attack the Double Fianchetto

Featured is an instructive chess game between Szymon Gumularz (Poland) and Wei Yi (China) from Round 8 of the 2026 Chess Olympiad, held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Arising from a d-pawn based opening, White first releases the central tension with 8. cxd5, and then goes for a double fianchetto setup. By move 14, we observe a largely one-sided, opposite sides castling game with Wei Yi showing us the way to attack.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
