While it is still early to make any predictions, some Canadians are doing quite well at the World Youth Chess Championships. Nameer Issani and Qiyu Zhou both have 4/5, while 6 other Canadians (William Graif, Razvan Preotu, Richard Chen, Nicholas Vettese, Eugene Hua and Aiden Zhou) have 3.5/5.
This game is extremely tactical and instructive. Both players played a fair amount of good moves, but also quite a lot of mistakes (but that is to be expected in such positions!). I am convinced everybody will love going through it as much as I did.

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from the game Gusev - Qin from the 2015 Canadian university Chess Championship.
Can White find a move that holds, despite being two pawns down?
This week's game is incredibly tactical and fun to watch. No one could have predicted the outcome of the game!
