Analyze a sharp tactical chess game between Daniil Dubov and Georg Meier from Round 3 of the 2025 FIDE World Cup in this 14-minute chess tutorial. Explore the Vienna Game's Frankenstein-Dracula variation as Dubov employs aggressive tactics targeting Black's vulnerable f7-square from multiple angles. Follow the complex tactical sequences that unfold over the first 18 moves, after which Meier gains a material advantage of one pawn but suffers from a dangerously exposed king position. Witness Dubov's brilliant piece sacrifice designed to open attacking lines against the Black king, and learn why Meier was unable to find the critical defensive resource that could have saved the game. Study how tactical pressure and precise calculation led to Black's resignation after just 24 moves, demonstrating the power of coordinated piece attacks in sharp opening variations.
