GM Mert Erdoğdu's Brilliant Sacrifice

With 2.Nf3 against the Nimzowitsch Defence (1.e4 Nc6), Grandmaster Mert Erdoğdu gets an opening position with plenty of space. He then shuts the opponent's bishop out of the game and carries out his plan of winning that bishop. The tactical complications created by his opponent Shanava, who is in a desperate situation, give Erdoğdu the chance for a very interesting attack. What follows is a tactical feast!
