13 year old Garry Kasparov plays a brilliant attacking game against Caro-Kann defense! In this game Kasparov sacrifices a pawn, which allows him to double up his rooks on the c-file, and once Black makes a mistake Kasparov first sacrifices his knight and then goes for an exchange sacrifice! The final sacrifice forces his opponent to resign, which emphasizes the weakness of a3-f8 diagonal! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
