Mukachevo: Short strikes back, beats Efimenko with black

By master

In the first game the higher-rated player, Nigel Short, was somewhat shockingly defeated by his young Ukrainian challenger Zahar Efimenko, who had the black pieces. Today the British GM struck back with his own very convincing black-piece victory to equal the score. This looks like it’s going to be a really hard-fought match. Game two analysis by GM Klaus Bischoff.
