Featured is a rapid chess game between Rudik Makarian and Faustino Oro from the 2023 FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship. Out of a Queen’s Gambit Declined, Three Knights, the would-be world’s youngest International Master chooses the Vienna variation with 4…dxc4. As play sharpens, Makarian’s king finds itself stuck in the center in the middlegame with Oro’s pieces swarming. With Makarian’s king the more vulnerable, he seeks a queen exchange that immediately backfires. Can you spot chess prodigy Faustino Oro’s brilliant tactic after Markarian’s 24th move, Qg3?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
