Final blitz game between the well-known GM Baadur Jobava and the young Iranian talent GM Parham Maghsoodloo at the Abu Dhabi Blitz tournament 2019. Video plus animation and music.
Wonderful complications come on the board! Jobava was trailing Maghsoodloo by half a point before this final round. The one who won the game, would go home with the title and in case of a draw, it would be Maghsoodloo who would become the champion.
Maghsoodloo plays the idea b5! and Qb6! , sacrificing a pawn for attack. Jobava plays Kb2? at a critical moment while the obvious (?) Kc2! was much better ..
Watch the clock times : this is an epic battle !
