Harmon sealed off the barricade around the black king with a magnificent queen sacrifice Qxg6+, and Beltik found no way to escape from the mating net.#elizabethharmon #harrybeltik #checkmate #netflix #queensgambit #carokanndefense #laskertrap #chess #ajedrez #scach #echechs #szachy

Shrinking performance and aging might be the contributing factors for the loss of his world title to the younger competitor Capablanca. In this game Lasker gives everything he got and makes it last for 65 moves. Unfortunately the game ended with clear winning position in favor of the challenger. #emanuellasker #joseraulcapablanca #queensgambit#laskertrap #chess #ajedrez #scach #echechs #szachy

Both protagonist displayed superb chess mastery engaging in an explosive exchange of tactical blows in the middlegame and dynamic endgame strategy. The highlight of this game was Alekhine's amazing double queen sacrifice which disrupted Bogoljubov's chances of creating counterplay leading up to his victory after 53 moves of struggle #alekhine #bogojubov #dutchdefense #laskertrap #chess #ajedrez #scach #echechs #szachy #checkmate #fianchettovariation #normalvariation #nimzodutchvariation
