16-year-old Aryan Joshi was playing on board three for team India at the 8th IBCA World Team Championships 2018 for the blind and visually challenged. India faced a stiff challenge in round one - they were up against the strong Ukrainian team. Aryan has a rating of just 1623, but he crushed his 2121 rated opponent in just 21 moves by sacrificing two of his pieces. It was a great game that Aryan analyzes in this video. Although team India lost the match 3-1, Aryan's victory was an excellent morale booster for the team for the next rounds.
