Featured is a stylish rapid chess game between Benjamin Bok and Wei Yi from round 12 of the 2024 FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship held in New York. Wei Yi plays the Dutch Stonewall and has to wait quite some time before his dormant light-squared bishop plays a productive role. When it does however, it paves the way for an aesthetically pleasing finish.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
