Radjabov outwits Sasikiran
Here's an interesting game from the European Club Cup. Sasikiran, who is relatively new to the 2700+ club, is up against Radjabov. Even though Teimour Radjabov is much younger, he has tremendous experience playing at the highest levels and it shows.
Sasi (as he is affectionately called), is nervous at accepting pawn sacrifices twice (heard - when in doubt, accept sacrifices?), and eventually blunders. Radjabov finishes off Sasi in style in the end.
Note that Radjabov offers a pawn on moves 13 and 32. Although the offer at move 13 can prove dangerous, Sasi could have taken the pawn offered on move 32.
Sasikiran - Radjabov 0-1
