Here is a beautiful rapid game where the reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen goes for hypermodern Larsen’s opening during 2017 PRO Chess League vs Indian GM Sahaj Grover. By relying on opponent’s mistake Carlsen sacrifices his knight on f7-square and quickly wins the game! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
