A Game To See : 2008 CCTV Cup

It's been awhile since the last A Game To See series posted. So I chose one game from 2008 CCTV Cup round 2. Black was Fan Yijing (2 dan) and white was Nie Weiping (9 dan).


Fan Yijing (left)

In this game, we can see how a slack opening will bring you into defeat. Fan played a weak opening and let white took the lead very early in the game. Also there is a beautiful squeeze in the top board during the game. I think the game is already decided even before 100 moves played.
