The most beautiful finish ever by Sergei Lobanov
Sergei Lobanov is 2535 IM from Russia and has one GM norm. He is clearly
very strong, but is struggling to make his GM norms. At the World
Juniors 2018, he achieved his 2nd GM norm and also won the bronze medal.
In the final round he beat his opponent by promoting two of his pawns
to a queen, thereby having three white queens on the board at one point
of time. After the game he spoke with IM Sagar Shah and analyzed the
game in depth.

Three white queens in the middlegame | Lobanov - Christiansen |
One of the most crucial games of the last round of the World Juniors
2018 was Lobanov versus Johan-Sebastien Christiansen. It was an exciting
game with Lobanov in deep time trouble, but he had calculated
everything well. The end was just picturesque!
