Russian GM Valentina Gunina plays a sharp, attacking game against French GM Marie Sebag. In this video I am analyzing that game where Gunina sacrifices her pieces one after another. By choosing the Keres attack against Sicilian Najdorf Gunina launches a pawn storm and with a provocative knight sacrifice invites her opponent to enter the jungle of “endless complications”. Sebag fails to play accurately and once she makes a mistake Gunina’s attack becomes irresistible and soon Black resigns in view of an imminent checkmate!
