Chinese chess GM Wei Yi who has a fierce attacking style manages to turn quiet Russian game into a sharp battlefield by going for Nimzowitsch Attack. Once his opponent makes a mistake he goes for a bishop sacrifice on h7 which breaks into pieces Black’s kingside and the final rook sacrifice on f7 forces his opponent to resign!
