Wesley So strikes first in Grand Prix semi-finals

Wesley So won a pawn and then never gave Amin Tabatabaei a chance as he took a huge step towards the final of the last Berlin FIDE Grand Prix. In the other semi-final Hikara Nakamura claimed, “I just didn’t want to do anything too exciting,” as he explained he was already trying to safeguard any openings that might come in handy in the Candidates Tournament. The unambitious approach allowed Shakhriyar Mamedyarov to take over, but the game never caught fire before it ended in a 30-move draw.
