Wei Yi has won the Chinese Championship for the second straight year, and after torching the field by winning his first four games with the white pieces (in rounds 1, 3, 5, and 7) he was able to coast in with a series of short draws. Even taking most of the second half of the tournament off, he still won by a convincing 1.5 point margin over his closest competitors. In my World Chess column this week, I take a look at his one win from the second half of the event, along with a couple of other interesting moments featuring other players.
