Featured is the very short rapid game between Fabiano Caruana and Alireza Firouzja from the 2024 CrunchLabs Masters. Firouzja's brain cramp allows Caruana to execute one of the most beautiful opening traps. Out of an English opening Caruana first sacrifices his king rook and then queen rook, forcing Firouzja to resign after only 9 moves. This opening trap for white reminded me of an endgame trick which I demonstrate after the game.
