Featured is an excellent blitz chess miniature between Luis Paulo Supi and Magnus Carlsen from 2020. Out of the Scandinavian Defense, we observe an opposite sides castles game where Carlsen plants his knight on d4. Supi challenges Carlsen’s invasive knight with a fishing pole setup. Eventually Carlsen takes the bait, allowing Supi to operate along the a-file. The 18th and final move by Supi is extremely beautiful, and certainly worthy of at least 2 exclamation points!!
