"The New Bobby Fischer!" | Magnus Carlsen's LEGENDARY Knight Sac Leaves Alireza Firouzja SPEECHLESS!

Magnus Carlsen is on fire in Day 2 of the 2024 Champions Chess Tour, and in this video we're looking at an absolutely INCREDIBLE game that he played vs none other than his new rival - Alireza Firouzja! Of course this game features an unbelievable (and "accurate") knight sacrifice that you do NOT want to miss!
In the game Alireza Firouzja opens 1.e4 and heads straight for the Italian Game. Magnus Carlsen in return opts for the more passive line with ...Be7 instead of the more active ...Bc5. However, Magnus Carlsen was definitely in a fighting mood, and Alireza Firouzja was completely shocked when Magnus sacrificed The Knight on g2 in the middlegame, getting just a single pawn and an attack for the missing piece! But was it enough to win in the end? Make sure to watch till the very end of the game to find out!
