One of the moments that attracted me to chess was the culmination of the 2016 World Chess Championship, in which Magnus Carlsen calmly sacrificed his queen in the last game to finally dash Sergey Karjakin's hopes.
Today I felt a deja vu when I too was compelled to offer up my queen to win a back-and-forth game.
We all are mesmerized by the brilliance of our favorite sportsmen, but it is easiest to recreate that brilliance in chess.
Let's make this thread a goldmine of tactical queen sacrifices!Â
