Gelfand Wins Second Game Against Inarkiev

The score is 3-1 in Gelfand's favor.

The second game of the match between Boris Gelfand and Ernesto Inarkiev took place on July 14 in Magas, capital of Ingushetia. Gelfand played White. In a sharp line of the Nimzo-Indian Defense, White invaded on d6 with the knight and seized the initiative. Being short on time, Inarkiev made a mistake, allowing the opponent to carry out a nice rook sacrifice. Black resigned on the 36th move. 


The third game will be played on Friday, July 15, starting at 3 pm. Ernesto Inarkiev plays White.
