The 16-move miniature played at the Baku Open between Balajayeva and Harsha deserves a closer look. In a Sicilian Alapin, Black didn't coordinate the pieces in time and was lost after only 9 moves. An absolute rarity at this level!
But the game contained many fascinating tactical ideas, so it's perfect for this week's episode!
Exercise: It's White to move - and which killer move did Black overlook?
Feel free to move the pieces on the live diagram!
