The main thing I'll remember from this entertaining lesson is how much fun chess can be. These are beautiful variations that are clever but also direct and easy to understand because the motivation to trap the queen or to escape with the queen is so strong. If you count the pieces you can understand at the end of each variation who succeeded in his goal and who will win the game.
