He Tricked a 2600 GM with Move Order Magic! | Maroczy Bind Miniature | World Rapid 2025

Описание: In this instructive miniature chess game (under 25 moves) from the World Rapid Championship 2025 in Doha, Qatar, IM Aldiyar Ansat (Kazakhstan, 2392) outplays GM Max Warmerdam (Netherlands, 2600) using a clever move order to reach a powerful Maróczy Bind against the Accelerated Dragon.

From the opening, White subtly steers the game away from Black’s comfort zone, securing long-term control of key central squares. Ansat then gradually increases his positional domination, restricting Black’s counterplay and improving piece coordination.

Once the position is fully under control, the game is decided by a clean tactical sequence, perfectly illustrating how positional pressure can transform into tactics.

This game is a model example of strategic mastery meeting tactical precision in elite rapid chess.
