SHOCKING Queen Sack On Move 8!

SHOCKING Queen Sack On Move 8!

I haven't seen anything like this in a chess game...

How could a future Blitz World Champion, and the world's youngest GM of all time, Sergey Karjakin, lose a game in only 10 moves?

Even in a blitz game, that's something that 'should' never happen, right?

But GM Dmitry Andreikin, Karjakin's opponent in this game, is one of the trickiest players in the world!

In our game, he sets a sneaky opening trap, and once Karjakin plays one natural move...it's lights out! 

The trap is actually quite self-explanatory once you see it, so rather than write long-winded explanations to get 5-star reviews of this blog on Amazon, I'll put you in the driver's seat and see if you can play like Andreikin, and also beat Karjakin in 10 moves!

The starting moves are 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Nf3 g6 - after that, you're on your own! 


How did you go? Did you find Andreikin's moves? 

I absolutely love the epic checkmate at the end, with the bishop and knight coordinating perfectly to finish Black's smothered king! That's what happens when Black plays ...g6 and doesn't have a king's bishop...

Naturally, you can replay through my notes to the game after completing the puzzle!
