To celebrate Javokhir Sindarov's today's victory in the Round 5 of Chess World Cup, I'll share my favorite game of his.
You have probably heard of "Sting's Bishop" against Kasparov but here Sindarov managed to entomb not one, but two pieces of his 2600 GM opponent! White resigned

Unusual tactics that I found during the analysis of my recent tournament game. White to move and get a winning advantage.

Finished 9th with 4.5/6 at the Amsterdam Chess Open, half a point behind the six-way tie for the 1st place. My score included one bye — the weather on Saturday was too good to play chess for full 8 hours!🙂
