Guimard variation of the French defense which ends as a chess miniature, is still an example of initially good idea and well played opening by Black. Also it represents a good example of when to sacrifice an exchange in order to gain positional benefits.

Finally - there is a beautiful tactical finish to find at the very end of the video.

Takes less then 20 moves! No happy end for Black (me, FM Alex), but it is definitely worth seeing.

Video is consisted of the following chapters:
0:00 The game starts
3:19 Guess the move (1)
4:39 Guess the move (2)
7:36 Find an attacking idea for White
