A Brilliant Tactic Lazavik & Carlsen Missed | Speed Chess Championship

Описание: Featured is a brilliant tactical idea that both Denis Lazavik and Magnus Carlsen missed in their semifinal match at the 2025 Speed Chess Championship, played on February 7, 2026. Arising from a Nimzo-Larsen Attack, the game reaches a critical moment after 29...Rxd8, where a hidden brilliant tactic was overlooked by both players. Can you spot it? The ensuing potential setup with a white pawn on a5, knight on d5, and rook on d8 occupying the corner posts of black's queenside is a beautiful positional arrangement worth remembering.
