The 2014 Chess Olympiad is under way in Norway and South Africa has sent two teams. The South African Men's team competed against the Italian Team on the 3rd of August. On board number 1 Kenny Solomon played Fabiano Caruana. During the opening Kenny Solomon sacrifices a pawn for position, this against the 3rd highest ranked Chess player in the world. The game is even into the endgame where Kenny makes a subtle mistake and Fabiano wins. Well played!

I think move 24. Rhg1 is poor as it depends on Black taking the f4 pawn, when f4 is played. Instead f3 allows the knight to pivot on f2 and e2-e4 to be played gaining space. Please correct me if there are better reasons.
