Description
Featured is a sharp rapid chess game between Artem Uskov and Pranav V from the 2026 FIDE World Junior Rapid & Blitz Championships. Arising from the Caro-Kann Defense, Fantasy variation, we observe the line with 3...dxe4, and a battle ensues over the e5-square. With 16...exd4 opening the center, both players must remain tactically alert. A single misstep can easily prove costly.
