With the Gashimov Memorial to start on Sunday, it is only fitting to look back on the games of one of Azerbaijan's greatest chess heroes, the late Vugar Gashimov. In the following game, he quickly destroys the solid Petroff Defense with his heavy pieces. Anyone interested in developing a sharp attacking style, or studying defense through counter attack, Gashimov's games are strongly recommended.
