Dortmund R3: Naiditsch beats Kramnik with sensational rook sacrifice

A very dramatic day in Dortmund. While three games ended in relatively uneventful draws (in 19, 27 and 31 moves) the youngest player, German GM Arkadij Naiditsch, uncorked a giant novelty against Vladimir Kramnik’s Petroff Defence. It worked like clockwork and Naiditsch took home his first point. Mind you it turns out that Garry Kasparov had analysed this move nine years ago. Express report.
