In this video I am analyzing a brilliant attacking game played by Indian chess Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand vs Russian Grandmaster Sergey Karjakin! In Sicilian Najdorf Anand is managing to launch an irresistible attack vs White’s queen-side and sacrifices several pieces! The first minor piece sacrifice is so complex that even for mighty chess engine Stockfish 10 finding that move became a challenge! By sacrificing two pieces Anand switches into the attack his rook after which he wins the game with en epic king hunt! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
