Our featured game today is about opening preparation such as understanding
each move not memorizing opening moves, what is the purpose of that move and
what pieces needed to retain and exchange. We learn from China's GM Li, Di on
how he showed opening ideas to tackle the Bogo-Indian. Let's find out.} 1. d4 {

Rd6 {[%emt 0:00:00] Fantastic game by GM Li, Di. Black's attack on white's
kingside in the middle game is useless because the 24...Qa4 move had fallen to
white's plan of breaking black's central pawns. White's ability to temp black
to enter into a setup trap is amazing indeed. Lovely game...} 1-0
