Here is a brilliant chess game played by 10th World Chess Champion Boris Spassky vs Serbian GM Dragoljub Ciric! By making use of opponent’s inaccuracy Spassky goes for a pawn sacrifice which allows him to open up the position and create attacking chances! Soon his opponent makes more mistakes and Spassky punishes his opponent with a brilliant queen sacrifice! In the end he forces a resignation by removing the defender with an exchange sacrifice! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
