Featured is an instructive chess game between Daniil Dubov and Bai Jinshi from Round 2 of the 2025 FIDE World Cup. Out of the Slav Defense, Exchange Variation, Bai creates several kingside weaknesses in pursuit of Dubov’s dark-squared bishop. Shortly thereafter, he commits a critical blunder that Dubov swiftly punishes, capitalizing on Bai’s tactical oversight.
