Our game this week was played in the final round of the Online Olympiad between the powerful teams from Russia and USA

It is a very attacking game with a very beautiful finish. Please enjoy with my short notes

 White:  Kosteniuk, Alexandra     Black:  Krush, Irina

Online Olympiad Final Round – 15th September 2021

Black is a couple of pawns up and has a safer King. He could just swap Queens and stand much better. However there is a tactic to finish the game
