Position of the Day: 12/23/2015 edition

And I'll conclude with something a bit more upbeat. Down the boards today Norwegian IM Johan-Seabstian Christiansen (FIDE 2385) played against German GM Stefan Bromberger (2521). I'll confess that I don't believe I've heard of either of these players before. A rather crazy game ensued (which I'll embed below), but the most amazing thing is this position from near the end of the game:

Christiansen - Bromberger, Qatar Masters Open
Position after 29...Q8d3+

White resigned in light of 30 Bf3 Q3xf3+ 31 gxf3 Qxf3# and 30 Bxd3 Qxd3+ 31Kf4 Qe3#.

Gruesome, isn't it?
