Nezhmetdinov Goes For A Reckless Queen Sacrifice

In this video I am analyzing an aggressive attacking game played by eminent Soviet chess player Rashid Nezhmetdinov vs Serbian chess player Dragoljub M Ciric. Against Ruy Lopez Nezhmetdinov chooses Modern Morphy Defense and organizes a quick king-side attack! Soon he surprises his opponent by moving his pinned knight and sacrifices his queen! After the queen sacrifice White fails to defend accurately, quickly gives back his queen and gets a lost position! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
