All done with tempo

Here is a nice game from the currently on-going Moscow Open. SS Ganguly finishes off his 2500 opponent with a nice combination that starts with an exchange sacrifice. After that he simply puts his pieces on their best squares, each time making a threat as he does so. Eventually his opponent stops to count the pieces, and then resigns.
