Polgar made a similar epic queen sacrifice when she was 12 years old. Beautiful game.

Old chess really speaks for itself and you can feel it from the sequence of the moves. Absolute best

[anandparande]

The moment when you know why he sacrifices his queen 🤝

I don't understand why the black knight in the first moves only has to go for 2 pawns? in this sense I do not see the beauty of the plays

[VICTOR-oknf]

Watched it 2x to see what was happening. Dayum that was brilliant 👏

Why wouldnt the black horse take the white horse when he has a chance?

[helioseuphrosyne]

I think Nxf2 because black wanted to bring the king out in the open, so black could try checkmating white, but it turned out to be in White's favour..
