The final round of the Tata Steel event is starting shortly. As I have been busy with other chess events, I've only caught up with the some of the games from the tournament. Unlike the 'high altitude' Super-duper GM events, the make of the field in this event does lend itself to more exciting (but possibly less correct) chess.
In the following game, Black allows White to build up quite the attacking position, but it doesn't really kick off until 22, after Black allowed White to kick off the final attack with a piece sacrifice. While it could be argued that Black missed the strength of the sacrifice, a more sensible strategy would have been to avoid the position all together. But then we would not have seen the queen sac at the end!
