Here is a brilliant attacking game played by Chinese GM Ding Liren vs American GM Fabiano Caruana! In the Exchange variation of Caro-Kann defense Ding Liren goes for a pawn sacrifice, and once Caruana accepts it, he faces serious problems! The absence of the g-pawn allows Black to open up the g-file and launch an irresistible attack! Caruana’s position collapses quickly, moreover in the end Ding Liren even sacrifices his queen! A brilliant game in the spirit of old chess masters! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
