Featured is a sharp chess game between Denis Lazavik and Magnus Carlsen from March 18th’s Late Titled Tuesday. Out of Queen’s Gambit Accepted, Lazavik plays the Russian Gambit with 7. e4. Carlsen doesn’t take Lazavik’s e-pawn, and instead develops his queen knight. After only 15 moves, Lazavik has a decisive advantage. Lazavik first cuts off Carlsen’s kingside castles and next queenside castles, leaving Carlsen’s king stuck in the center. Carlsen’s king tried to run, but could not hide.
