American chess Grandmaster Bobby Fischer played this beautiful chess game during a simultaneous display in Madrid. Fischer’s opponent Jose Bachiller plays the opening, Sicilian Kan incorrectly allowing White to get a very active position. Once Bachiller makes a mistake, Fischer pulls out tactical shots, the pinnacle of which becomes the queen sacrifice on g7 square! Once the queen sacrifice appears on the board, Black resigns in view of an imminent checkmate! For this simul session Fischer received £118! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
