Dear Chess Friends, A few days ago I saw an amazing attacking game, in which White sacrifices many pieces to checkmate the Black king. I think it was a really instructive one (one of the best games I've ever seen), so I made a video of it. You can watch the full video (15 mins) with a FREE subscription on my Patreon channel here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/one-of-most-what-120254376?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link The main topics what you can learn from this video: - How to exploit your development advantage - How to attack against the king in the middle - Destructive sacrifices - The Greek Gift - Boden's mate I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can choose a membership on my Patreon channel. I upload 4-8 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me. Kind regards, Gabor
