    It’s definitely more difficult to put your opponent in checkmate without your Queen, but in these situations it seems he had great positioning and the Queen sacrifice worked in his favor to make other pieces have a better opening and protection with each piece. Very nice! 👏🏻 Actually almost fooling the opponents, because everyone is always so eager to take the Queen when exposed and lose sight of how it might weaken their structure.
