Alireza Firouzja shocked magnus carlsen with an insane knight sacrifice at the 2024 speed chess championships, and Magnus Carlsen and the entire chess world were left in complete shock! In the game Alireza Firouzja opens with the Italian Opening, and Magnus Carlsen responds with the 2 knights defense.

However, instead of heading for the main line with 4.d3, Alireza Firouzja goes for the very aggressive "Fried Liver Attack" with the move 4.Ng5! From there Magnus Carlsen looks like he is heading for the main line vs Alireza Firouzja with 5...Na5, but instead Magnus Carlsen goes for the line starting with 5...d5, a very provocative move which Alireza Firouzja responds to with the insane knight sacrifice 6.Nxf7!

From there the game gets absolutely insane with Alireza Firouzja and Magnus Carlsen both going all-out to stop the other person's plans. Of course Alireza Firouzja was down a full knight after the knight sacrifice, but Alireza had fantastic compensation for the missing knight in the form of the attack vs Magnus Carlsen's king!
