Magnus Carlsen and Daniel Naroditsky just faced off in a crazy Chess.com blitz match, so today we are looking at one of their games where Magnus Carlsen literally checkmates Daniel Naroditsky with a crazy kingside attack!

In the game Daniel Naroditsky opens with 1.e4 and Magnus Carlsen responds with 1...c5, the Sicilian Defense. From there Daniel goes for the Alapin variation with 2.c3, and Magnus goes for the line starting with 2...d5, breaking in the center immediately.

The game was relatively normal for a while, but Magnus Carlsen made the bold decision to delay castling and actually castle on the queenside vs Daniel Naroditsky! From there Magnus launched an all-out kingside attack against Daniel, eventually resulting in an absolutely crazy finish with Daniel Naroditsky getting checkmated by Magnus Carlsen!
