An Incredibly Spectacular Chess Game
Beauty in chess is all around us. Every day there are numerous brilliant moves played on Chess.com thousands of interesting blitz games between strong players, and tens of thousands of intriguing missed opportunities. Unfortunately, there are also a heck of a lot of players on site violating fair play.
Sometimes those two things overlap, and today I'd like to show you a particularly spectacular game from an account that came across the fair play team's radar and was ultimately closed for fair play violations.
Regardless of the account history, the chess ideas here are beautiful as Black follows up an invasion on the dark squares with a knight sac, rook sac, and finally an amazing quiet move and queen sacrifice that constructs a wonderful mating net.
I'm the Head of Community for Chess.com. I earned the National Master title in 2012, and in 2014, I returned to my home state of South Carolina to start Strategery: Chess and Games. In late 2015, I began working for Chess.com and haven't looked back since.
You can find my personal content on Twitch , Twitter , and YouTube where I further indulge my love of chess.
