Improve Your Chess: First Learn End! - Yue-Carlsen 2009
Opening:
Player(s):
Yue, Carlsen
In a Rapid (G/30) game, Yue sacrifices the exchange for long-term pressure and the bishop pair. Both sides have difficult decisions to make, but Carlsen's defense finally gives in and Yue gets a winning queen and pawn endgame. Carlsen desperately tries to generate either a mating attack or a perpetual check but Yue's careful handling of the advantage eventually runs Carlsen out of chances and the future World Champion goes down.
