In this video I am covering a highly complex chess game played by Polish GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda vs Russian GM Alexander Grischuk. In the Advance variation of Reti opening the players delve deep into mind-boggling complications from where only Duda manages to find the right path! On move 21 he goes for a queen sacrifice and Grischuk who was in a time trouble fails to defend accurately, makes a mistake and quickly loses the game! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
