Fireworks in the French | Samuel Reshevsky vs Arnaldo Vasconcellos 1944

Samuel Reshevsky was a chess prodigy who first dazzled the chess world as an 8-year-old when he began conducting simultaneous chess exhibitions. Reshevsky would go on to win the United States Chess Championship 6 times, and had also played a total of 11 World Chess Champions ranging from Lasker to Karpov. Reshevsky had white in this game against Arnaldo Vasconcellos. The game was from the 1944 United States Chess Open, and held in Boston Massachusetts. This 26-move encounter out of a French Defense, Advance variation has a few eye-catching tactics, with the very first strike occurring after black’s decision to take a poison pawn.
