Nihal Sarin is well known for his blitz skills. He recently won the "Let's Fight Corona Together" Fundraiser online blitz ahead of some of the strongest chess players of India. We all know that he plays a lot of online blitz. However, sometimes Nihal likes to indulge in over the board blitz as well. As one of his over-the-board blitz encounters came to an end, Nihal went back a few moves and setup a position where he asked his opponent - "Did you see all the complications after the move Qg6+?"
Nihal Sarin's analysis position
This is what Nihal wrote on his social media, "Landed here during a practice game. Amazing position. Incredible attack, incredible defence!" We are not going to give you any more hints here. Just that, you need to go as deep as possible and try to find out what is happening in the position. It is quite possible that Qg6+ is just a losing move. It is also possible that Qg6+ leads to a draw. But it can also be true that Qg6+ leads to a win. Let us know your answers in the comments section below and we will soon have a follow up article where we discuss the solution.
