Today is Grandmaster Dmitry Gordievsky's birthday. He was born in Moscow, Russia, on April 24, 1996.
Dmitry won the U12 World Championship in 2008 and the Moscow Championship twice, in 2013 and 2017.
He reached his peak rating very early, in May 20018, with 2653 Elo points, but then he lost many points rapidly.
In his career, Gordievsky defeated many elite players, such as Grischuk, Wang Hao, Sjugirov, Matlakov, Inarkiev, and Tabatabaei.
The following combo is simple and elegant.
