In this video I am analyzing a fascinating chess game played by American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura! Nakamura wins the game with an impressive combination the pinnacle of which becomes the queen sacrifice! Once the queen sacrifice appears on the board, Nakamura’s opponent resigns! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
