In this video I am analyzing a game from 2019 American Continental Chess Championship where in round 3 Bolivian IM Josen Dnaiel Gemy faced Brazilian GM Alexandr Fier. In the middlegame GM Alexander Fier sacrifices a piece in order to make his pawns mobile! Soon he also sacrifices his rook and with his rook and mighty passed pawns forces his opponent to resign! A brilliant game which is like the reminiscence of McDonnell vs La Bourdonnais famous game! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
