Today marks the start of the Melody Amber chess tournament, being held this year in Nice. Melody Amber often throws up interesting games because instead of standard time controls, half the games are rapidplay games and the other half are blindfold.
The highlight of the first round was Anand's win against Kramnik in their rapid game with the Black pieces. Anand finished the game in spectacular fashion from the position in the diagram. Can you see what beautiful move Anand played to force Kramnik's resignation?
