When you look at Magnus's games they are similar to Capablanca's games but this game look more Fischer's game, it is aggressive and daring and brilliant. Well play Magnus!!!

Not bad for a 14 year old.

Actually, I think he just turned 13 less that 2 months before that, right? I believe he turned 14 on Nov 30, 2004 & this was about 10 months before that. Someone else can double check, but still, impressive.

What I like about this sacrifice it is very restrain, Magnus has a positional concept behind his sacrifice, if rejected he gain a big advantage. Player like Tal who sacrifice is pure mayhem and difficult to comprehend but Fischer has a logic and soundness to his sacrifice.

Young Carlsen played sometimes like young Fischer.  His style now doesn't resemble Fischer at any age.

Fischer does these little combination  to gain an advantage; His opponent try to mix thing up through tactics but Bobby coolly defense and wins brilliant.
