Today’s winning 5-sec tactics
Happy New Year everybody! Today I present the very pleasing finish of a game that I only recently came across. It was played in 2015 between 2 very strong grandmasters.
Best tactic in recent years !?
gm Sokolov,A – gm Naiditsch,A Montpellier 2015
A very impressive finish! It is instructive to notice how much the White pawn on f7 leaves Black helpless. This theme reminds me of another beautiful finish, namely from an old game of Vasiukov against Uhlmann:
