GM Bator Sambuev is the winningest chess players in the Candian swiss tournament circuit in recent memory, and it is through wins such as the following against a strong master that he achieves such success. Watch him convert a suspect position after a less than optimal opening into a (relatively) risk-free win.

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from the 2014 Toronto Blitz Championship (2014.06.15).
Black had lost an exchange and then a piece in a "reluctant Benoni" line. But in a blitz game, with a
time control of 3min + 2 sec, anything can happen. What happens if White plays 29.Qxc5?
