In this video I am analyzing a famous chess game played by renowned Soviet chess players! In Dutch Stonewall Bondarevsky is launching an irresistible attack and once his opponent makes a mistake he goes for a queen sacrifice! The sacrifice allows his minor pieces to be switched into the attack after which White king gets checkmated in the center of the board! An instructive attack for those who are playing Dutch Stonewall Defense! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
