The endgame in this video was played yesterday in the fifth round of the grandmasters tournament in Biel, Switzerland. Magnus surprises us with a pawn sacrifice and makes use of some tactical ideas to win this endgame in an excellent way. Watch how the future world champion wins this game:

This endgame is a chess coaches dream. In 10 moves pawn majorities, pinning, discovered attack, Prophylaxis, removal of the guard, and counting is covered.
