Magnus Carlsen absolutely destroyed Jan-Krzysztof Duda in the Semi-Finals of the 2024 World Blitz Championships, and today we are looking at one of Carlsen's BEST games from this legendary match! This game in particular was special because Magnus sacrificed his rook to spearhead an absolutely devastating kingside attack!

In the game Magnus Carlsen opens 1.e4, and in response to Jan-Krzysztof Duda's Sicilian Defense Magnus goes for the Alapin Variation with the move 2.c3. From there Magnus actually sacrificed a pawn on c3, which Duda took by mistake, which was just the beginning of his problems in this game! From there Magnus Carlsen continued to build the pressure, until things officially boiled over with the savage move Rxc6! Make sure to watch till the very end to see the crazy conclusion to this incredible game!
