The Greek Gift in Action (Part 2)

Dear Chess Friends,

In this video, I’ll walk you through one of my recent online games where I successfully executed the classic Greek Gift sacrifice and beat an International Master. This example will help illustrate not just the mechanics of the tactic, but also the typical attacking ideas that often follow and can lead to a decisive victory. Whether you're learning the motif for the first time or looking to sharpen your tactical vision, this is a perfect opportunity to see how the Greek Gift can work in real games.

Of course, you can use it. I also play the Queen's Gambit and I used it a lot of times. E.g. after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4. Later you put the bishop back to d3 and push your pawn to e5, so then you can play for Bxh7+. But it can happen in some of the Queen's Gambit Accepted lines, too.
