The start of the 2017 KZCC has received widespread attention, mainly because of the fantastic exhibition game between main sponsor Oleg Skvortsov and Viswanathan Anand, where the Indian sacrificed a queen mainly from intuition for just a couple of pawns and thus achieved a beautiful victory. We present you with the most prominent reactions on the internet:

Skvortsov-Anand - one of the most attractive and romantic game I've ever seen. Like at time of old maestros!
