Featured is a very instructive chess game between Javokhir Sindarov and Wei Yi from the 2025 FIDE World Cup. Out of a Ragozin Defense, the position quickly liquidates into an equal same-colored bishop endgame after just 26 moves. On move 30, Wei Yi commits a blunder that Sindarov does not exploit. The resulting key king and pawn positions highlighted in this video offer especially valuable lessons for aspiring students of the game.
