Baku Grand Prix Round 2: Inarkiev bounce back with vengeance!

Leaving behind the blunder he commits in round 1 against Kamsky, Ernesto Inarkiev bounce back by beating local hero Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan in 36 moves of the Pirc/Classical Variation. Mamedyarov who wants to turn the table early in his favor, tried prematurely to sacrifice his bishop to expose Inarkiev’s king for an all out attack but the Russian, ignoring the offered piece, come up with a brilliant moves of his own by trapping Mamedyarov pieces, lossing a rook for a bishop and a pawn and destroyed blacks strategy altogether in the process. Inarkiev’s two rooks took control the open c and d files, for the rest of the match.
