♦️♦️ Adhiban, B. - Mamedyarov Sh. , Round 6 Tata Steel Masters 2018
♦️♦️ After 44 ... Rd3 👇🏼👇🏼

@unitychess

🔹 In this position, after 44 ... Rd3 , white had better and could win by 45.Re3 but by a mistake move (45.Be3) allowed Mamedyarov to give counterplay game.
45.Re3 would put the stop to Black's idea of sacrificing the
exchange as it happened in the game.
