Wesley So Sacrifices How Many Rooks?

Round 7 of the FIDE Chess Olympiad 2022 has finished! Coach JD & I highlight America's Wesley So versus Armenia's Melkumyan, Hrant. The game starts with a Caro-Kann Two Knights variation. An excellent offbeat system that is gaining popularity for White. Wesley shows strong positional knowledge, then shifts gears and calculates some beautiful tactics.
