Wei Yi and Magnus Carlsen meet for the first time in Round 3 of the 2016 Tata Steel Chess Tournament. Wei’s victory in the 2015 Tata Steel Challenges section earned a seat in the 2016 Masters section. Wei Yi is easily one of the most talented rising stars in the chess world at only 16 years young. With both players so young and talented, might the future hold a great many more encounters…quite possibly a World Chess Championship match? How would China’s Wei Yi fare against the current World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway in a sharp line out of one of the oldest of chess openings, the Ruy Lopez?
