A careless move in the Sicilian Taimanov produces a chess miniature

During the final rest day of the 2022 Candidates chess tournament, Judit Polgár and Magnus Carlsen met in a Retiro Park in Madrid, Spain to play a friendly game of 3-minute blitz chess. Whenever two chess greats clash over the board, it's always a fun watch. Polgár's sharp eye for tactics caught Carlsen sleeping after what seemed to be a logical 15th move.
