Game: Michał Krasenkow - Alexander Donchenko (1-0)

 


In the Polish Extraliga match between Stilon Gorzów and Silesia Racibórz, Michał Krasenkow faced off against Aleksander Donchenko. Despite a significant age difference, with Krasenkow being nearly 35 years younger, he executed a brilliant attack, exploiting a weakness in the black king's position, and secured the victory.
