Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukuh, Festive Qwanzaa, and for the rest Joyous New Year!!!
This is my Christmas Edition of the segment and boy do I have a treat for all you guys!
I decided that I would include 3 of my personal favorite attacking games as it is the holidays and I am in a giving mood.
Firstly one of my all time favorite Tal games:

Vintage Tal.
Next my favorite Radjabov attacking gem against no less than World Champion Vishy Anand in my favorite Sicilian crowned with a QUEEN SAC MATING ATTACK!!!(I love those 4 words!)

And finally,
A more recent game of the talented young American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, who recently won the very strong Casino de Barcelona tourny, in Spain Oct 18-26 2007. Hikaru was obviously in a "giving" mood as he unloaded a beautiful combination that the great Polish GM Krasenkow must have never seen coming!
