Here is a brilliant chess miniature played by Belarusian-Russian chess master and chess composer Isaak Mazel where with a final Queen sacrifice Black achieves a victory with an unusual final position on the board! 5 pawns are lined up on the g-file and White king is crushed! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle where again you can find a thematic idea!
