In this video I am analyzing a chess game played between “Puzzle King” Sam Loyd and Polish-French chess master Samuel Rosenthal. Although American chess player Sam Loyd chooses a very quite Giuoco Pianissimo opening but soon the game takes a very sharp character with double edged chances. Finally Rosenthal fails to realize his advantage and overlooking opponent’s counter chance, makes a mistake. With an impressive deflective queen sacrifice Sam Loyd manages to lure away his opponent’s queen from h3-c8 diagonal, after which Black king finds himself in a mating net!
