A white rook on a chessboard

My best tactical game in 2021

Chess
Features an uncommon double rook sacrifice

Was proud of this one. And where did the inspiration come from ? As a teenager I went through several books by IM Hans Bouwmeester. These tiny booklets were full of annotated chess games with also chess anecdotes. I really liked them, and it was especially the games of Mikhail Tal in those booklets that sparked my fascination for chess tactics. I remember that Bouwmeester wrote with one Tal game : "Three of Tal's pieces are en prise. Tal now puts a fourth piece en prise!". I was totally amazed and ... happy ! :)

Also, the fact that since 2011 or before I have been working hard on my tactic puzzles on-line has surely helped to improve my tactics in my chess games.
