In this video I am analyzing a brilliant attacking chess game played by Austrian chess master Carl Schlechter vs the first undisputed World Chess Champion Wilhelm Steinitz! Schlechter plays a game full of sacrifices, first sacrifices his knight and then the rook which allows him to target Black king and start a king hunt! Not being able to show an adequate resistance, Steinitz resigns on move 24! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
