Wei Yi punishes PAWN PUSHER in the French, Tarrasch

This is a chess game between Wei Yi and Bedri Sadiku from the 2016 Chess Olympiad. Wei Yi chooses the Tarrasch variation in the French Defense and quickly develops his kingside. Meanwhile, Sadiku pushes an excessive number of pawns on the queenside, hoping to establish a long-term static advantage. With Wei Yi significantly better developed by move 10, he sacrifices some material to open lines, allowing his pieces to quickly spring to action and force resignation after only 19 moves.
