1.d4 {Notes by Eric Schiller. Grandmaster William "Father
Bill" Lombardy was of great help to me in my years at the
Manhattan Chess Club in 1970-72. I was one of a generation of
young players to benefit from his advice. Somehow we all
wandered off to other things, and none of us have reached the
Grandmaster level. I remember the ping pong sessions he used
to take us to after a hard day at the club. He has a wicked
serve!} Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 {Why use the Budapest in a
simul? Well, I hoped the position would get confusing and the
Grandmaster might stumble.} 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Nc6 6.Qd5 Qe7 7.Nc3
Ngxe5 8.Nxe5 Nxe5 {Black can be satisfied with the result of
the opening. Now the real game begins.} 9.a3 c6 10.Qe4 d6
11.Be2 a5 12.b3 {I expected the Grandmastrer to castle. I was
hesitant to commit my king until he did. That explains why I
didn't castle here.} f5 13.Qc2 O-O {I couldn't find a better
move.} 14.g3 Be6 15.Bb2 Rfd8 {I was very happy with the
position. White has lots of weaknesses in the pawn structure.}
16.Na4 Ba7 17.Bd4 Bxd4 {!} 18.exd4 Nf3+ {!} {White must
cooperate, since moving the king would leave him at a serious
disadvantage after I eat the d-pawn.} 19.Bxf3 Bd5+ 20.Qe2
Qxe2+ 21.Kxe2 Re8+ {I was pleased with my little combination,
though the result is only a small advantage.} 22.Kd2 Bxf3
23.Rhe1 Rxe1 24.Rxe1 Kf7 {?! 24...b5 25.cxb5 cxb5 26.Nc3 b4
27.axb4 axb4 would have been considerably stronger,

28.Nb2 dxc5 29.dxc5 Bf7 30.f4 h6 31.Nd3 Rd5 {! White has no

33.Nxe5 Bd5 34.Nc4 Bxc4 35.Kxc4 Ke7 36.Kd4 Kf6) Ke7 34.b4
axb4+ 35.axb4 and my bishop would not have any targets. I
might draw, but judged the position with rooks on to be easier
to play.} 33.Re1 {? A tactical error in a simple position. I
didn't expect the gift!} Bxb3 34.Nc1 a4 {? 34...Ba4! If I had
played this move, I would have had real winning chances. At
the time, I was 16, knew nothing of advanced endgame theory.}
35.Re2 {! (35.Nxb3 axb3 36.Kxb3 Rd3+ 37.Kb4 Rd2 38.Rh1) I
counted on this line to give me some chances. At this point
the Grandmaster had few opponents left, and I had to move
quickly.} Rb8 {? 35...Bd1 36.Rb2 Rd5!} 36.Kb4 b5 {The
Grandmaster graciously offered a draw, though at this point
that result was almost inevitable. He gained his revenge in a
serious game against me at the 1972 United States Open.}

{ This is not the most common continuation. Usually Black
plays an early ...e6, locking in the light-squared
bishop. This can lead to great difficulties later on, and
while the system is suitable for masters, it is not easy to
play for beginners. On the other hand, this fianchetto play is
easy to play, even if not as objectively sound.} 5.Bxc4 Bg7

1.e4 {Notes by Eric Schiller. This was the first game of mine
to be published in the exclusive and prestigious Chess
Informant. It came with the recommendation of two of the top
players in the world. It remains one of my absolute favorites,
despite the fact that I didn't play with total precision.} c5
2.Nc3 e6 3.Nge2 d6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 {Now we have reached the
standard positions in the opening.} a6 6.Be3 Nf6 7.g4 { This
move transposes to systems which usually arise after 6.g4. A
human opponent will now immediately consider transposing back
into the normal lines by playing either 7...h6 or 7...Nc6. But
a human player will also consider the significance of the fact
that the bishop has already been developed at e3. My opponent
reasons that there is another possibility which suggests
itself because of the position of the bishop. In fact, the
same reasoning led Swedish Grandmaster Ulf Andersson to the
same conclusion back in the 1970s, and both played the same
reply, advancing the pawn to h5.} h5 8.g5 Ng4 9.Bc1 Qb6 { A
novelty, which runs somewhat counter to the theme of the
opening, which usually involves b7-b5 and the placement of the
queen at c7. Still, there is some logic behind the move, as it
inhibits the development of the bishop at c1.} 10.h3 Ne5
11.Be2 { 11.Nb3 g6 12.Be3 Qc7 13.f4 Nec6 14.Nd4 is an
interesting option. } g6 12.Nb3 Nbc6 13.f4 {!? This exposes
the entire kingside and commits White to a do or die
battle. 13.Be3 Qc7 /, b7-b5. The loss of time is not so
important, bcause in the interval between the development of
the queen at b6 and the present move the kingside pawn
structure has changed. 14.Qd2 b5 15.f4 Nc4 16.Bxc4 bxc4
unclear } Nd7 14.Rf1 Qc7 15.Be3 b5 { 15...Bg7 16.Nd4 O-O

which concedes the e5 square, from which a knight can play a
major defensive role on the kingside. 16.Qd2 Bb7 17.Rd1 Be7

computer would play such a move, or even consider it among the
top half dozen candidates. Two World Champions, seeing this
position, reacted visibly in surprise. Then quickly they

worthy alternative. } Qc4 {?! It was of course tempting to
elimitate the Qs, now that the h-pawn is gone from the
board. In addition, from c4 the queen defends the critical
square e6. Yet it might have been wiser to enter the thicket

attack.} Be8 29.Qxe6 {!! White has calculated this very
well. The pressure is maintained in the endgame and the
material is not important.} Qxe6 30.Nxe6 Rxe3 {? The losing
move. But most spectators also missed what was coming, which
involves the realization that an endgame will arise with even
material, but where the White knight is superior to the Black
bishop. If this were appreciated now, then Black would capture
on c3 immediately, as the machines suggest, though White could
possibly draw. In time pressure with a truncated search , the
machine is almost certain to choose to capture on c3. Humans
would immediately calculate any drastic consequences of
capturing the bishop at e3, and, seeing none, would likely
respond just as my opponent did. The cleanest move, however,
is to capture on g6 immediately. 30...Bxg6 ! was correct,
leading to an equal game. 31.Bd4 Bxd4 32.Rxd4 Rh4 33.Rxd6 Bxe4

favor Black, who holds the bishop pair. But in fact, it is
much better for White, whose pieces are much more active.}

in trouble anyway. 35...d5 ! 36.Kd2 ! d4 [ 36...Kh8 37.Nxg7

the corner, but one will soon die, and the other will be
powerless against the galloping horse.} Kh8 37.Nxg7 Rxg7
38.Rxg7 Kxg7 {The end comes remarkably quickly.} 39.Nc7 Kf6
40.Nxa6 Ke5 41.Nc7 { and with time control reached Black saw
no reason to continue the game. The b-pawn will be chased by
the knight until it falls, and the endgame is a simple matter
thereafter.} 1-0

{Unfortunately there was double pressure here. We were into
the second time contol and the arbiter would soon approach
with the envelope into which I would have to place my sealed
move. There are several possibilities. I could try to hold the
knight vs. bishop endgame after exchanging on d4. The
Grandmaster had played the last few moves quickly, forcing me
to think on my own. If the game were to be adjourned, I'd have
a chance to analyze with Grandmaster Jansa, with whom I had
already had many instructional endgame sessions as we both
seemed headed for adjournments in almost every game. I didn't
want to commit myself to the capture on e4 until after
adjournment. I sought out a waiting move, but couldn'f find
one. I then saw that by advancing the c-pawn, I could get to a
forcing variation which would make the adjournment analysis
much easier.} c5 {!? 44...Bxe4 45.Kxe4 g6 46.Bc4 b5 47.Bd3 Nb6
48.Kd4 +- 44...Kd7 45.g4 Ne7 46.Nd6 h5 ! 47.gxh5 Bxh5 White's
weakened pawn structure gives Black some chances. It isn't
clear how White could make progress. This would have been the
best plan, but I had a feeling that with a less forcing line
my opponent would surely find a way to captalize on his
positional advantages. } 45.bxc5 Bxe4 46.Kxe4 bxc5 {This much
was predictable. Black has four pawn islands, and it is very
difficult for the knight to defend. The passed c-pawn is just
weak. White's strategy is clear: break through on the
kingside.} 47.g4 { 47.Kd3 Nb6 48.h5 White should have prepared
the kingside advance in this way, instead of plunging right
in. In fact, the adjournment analysis concentrated on this
line. I'll just summarize the main line. Nd5 [ 48...Kd7 49.g4

because the g-pawn can move. It will be captured, but then
Black still has the h-pawn so it is mate in 3. } Nb6 {?! This
inferior move was chosen because of an error in analysis later
on. My scoresheet shows I took only about ten minutes to play
up to move 53, and only at move 54 was I taken out of the

was rejected. I think it was mostly a matter of not wanting to
put the pawn where the bishop could get at it. But that is
lazy thinking. With the knight at b6, the formation is solid
enough to draw. In choosing between the move orders, I
obviously [in hindsight] failed to evaluate the position at
move 53 properly. } 48.f5 {! Critical, because otherwise I can

game mostly concentrated on flank openings, but I had a
suspicion that Ray might want to tackle my Caro-Kann. He
really needed a win, as he was not doing well in the
round-robin tournament. I figured on either 5.Nc5 or something
in the main lines. I know that Keene is a fan of the Caro for
Black, but not the Classical lines. What would he use for
inspiration? As one of the main chess advisors to my publisher
at the time, Batsford, Ray knew that I had translated many
books and articles by Kasparov, but that I didn't have a hand
in the book that Kasparov and Shakarov wrote on the Caro-Kann,
though I was probably familiar with much of it. He found a new
idea, a suggestion by Kasparov in a little note, which claimed
an advantage for White. Why not go with Garry's idea? I was
more than a little familiar with the move. My copy of the book
had a little note I scribbled in the margin which read:
18...Qa5! =. I definitely did not agree that the position
favored White in any significant way. I was delighted when the
position arose at the board, and for once had no problem
remembering my analysis.} Qa5 {!} 19.Kb1 Nc5 20.c3 Rxd1+

exclamation point is for psychological effect. Instead of
cowardly retreating to a5, protecting the pawn, I keep my
queen's eye on d6, a more dangerous square. The a-pawn can't
be taken because of ...Qe1+. Indeed, Keene could not find any
useful plan and offered a draw when I returned to the board. I
accepted.} 1/2-1/2

I should have played on, as the position is better for Black,

confidence, I accepted the offer of a draw. Wolff went on to
become United States Champion, so looking back I wish I had
continued.} 1/2-1/2

4.Qc2 f5 5.g3 Nf6 6.Bg2 Bd6 7.O-O O-O was part of Gurevich's
experience as White in the line. 8.b3 Qe7 9.Ne5 Na6 10.Nd3 Nh5
11.a4 f4 12.Ba3 fxg3 13.hxg3 Bxa3 14.Nxa3 Qg5 15.Qc1 was
better for White in D. Gurevich vs. McClelland, New York Open
1995. The e-pawn is backward and weak, while White controls
e5. } f5 5.g3 Nf6 6.Bg2 Bd6 7.O-O {This position can be
reached from many move orders, including 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3
c6 4.g3 f5 5.Bg2 Nf6 6. O-O Bd6 7.Nbd2.} Qe7 {Black usually
plays ...Nbd7, to prevent White from occupying e5 with a
knght.} 8.Qc2 O-O 9.Ne5 {White needs to occuly the e5 square
at some point, since otherwise Black will eventually play
...e5. As long as White maintains control of e5, Black will
find it difficult to activate the light-squared bishop.} Nbd7
10.Ndf3 {This is a standard anti-Dutch plan. The knight at e5
is supported by both a pawn at d4 and another knight at either
f3 or d3.} Ne4 {Black can safely keep the knight here if an
enemy knight is at f3, so that White cannot place a pawn
there. In many cases the knight can sit at e4 even if the
f3-square is not occupied, since the weakening of the a7-g1
diagonal can prove embarassing for White if the f-pawn
advances. In addition, g3 can become vulnerable.} 11.Bf4
{White invites Black to advance the g-pawn. This is a
double-edged strategy.} g5 {!? Black accepts the challenge.}
12.Nxd7 Bxd7 13.Bxd6 Nxd6 {White now owns a superior bishop,
but Black has plenty of room to maneuver.} 14.Ne5 Be8 {There
are two ways to activate the light-squared bishop in the
Stonewall Dutch. Black can fianchetto it at b7 under some
circumstances, msot easily when the knight sits at b8 to
defend the pawn at c6. The other plan, seen here, is to
redeploy it on the kingside. 14...Nf7 15.Nd3 Nd6 16.c5 Nf7
17.Qc3 Rfe8 18.e3 e5 19.f4 e4 20.Ne5 Nxe5 21.dxe5 gxf4 22.gxf4

15.f4 { 15.c5 Nf7 16.Nxf7 Bxf7 17.f3 Bg6 18.e4 f4 leaves White
with more problems to solve than Black. } Bh5 16.Rac1 Rac8

diagonal in case Black opens up the game with ...c5.} Nf7

in the U.S. Open. Gabriel Schwartzman is a very talented young
Grandmaster but he runs into a creative sacrifice in this
game.} e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 {The old Steinitz variation
is enjoying renewed popularity these days. A game between
Kasparov and Short at the 1994 Euwe Memorial in Amsterdam had
made a deep impression on me, and I was hoping to make use of
a plan involving h4, Rh3-g3 and a kingside attack that worked
well for Kasparov.} Nfd7 5.f4 c5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Be3 Qb6 8.Qd2

tested in the tournament arena. I was quite surprised when
Schwartzman accepted it.} Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qa3 10.dxc5 {This was my
own idea. 10.Be2 was recommended in an old book by Harding,

the kingside.} Bxc5 11.Bxc5 Qxc5 12.Bd3 a6 13.h4 Nb6 {13...Qe7

the pawn.} 14.Rh3 {!} Nc4 15.Bxc4 Qxc4 16.a3 {! This is a very
important move. I need to free the knight from the need to
hang around at c3 just to defend the poor pawn.} b5 17.Ne2 Bd7

decent endgame even without the pawn, because Black is left
with a very bad bishop.} Nxd4 19.Nxd4 Rc8 20.Rbb3 {! There are
two points to this move. One is to be ready to transfer to the

1.e4 {Notes by Eric Schiller. As I was finishing work on a
book about Rudolph Spielmann, I took part in one of the
regular all-Master training tournaments held monthly in the
San Francisco area. I found myself paired with a very strong
opponent, Mike Arne, 2400 FIDE. Since we were due to meet a
few weeks later in an IM norm tournament, I decided that I
shouldn't play my special preparation for him. Naturally with
so much Spielmann on my mind I turned to one of his favorite
lines, the Worral Attack in the Spanish Game. My preparation
consisted solely of annotating a few games for that book, and
the choice was made at the board. So this game shows that it
is not necessary to study a lot of opening theory as White in
the Spanish Game. All that is needed is some basic concepts,

5.g3 Nf6 6.Bg2 Be7 7.O-O O-O 8.Nc3 Nc6 9.b3 Re8 {A worthy
alternative to the normal 9...Ne4.} 10.Bb2 cxd4 11.Nxd4 Bc5 {
This is technically a novelty, but it was suggested in a 1993
book by Keilhack.} 12.Nf3 { The capture on c6 also comes into
consideration, though it is nothing special.} Bg4 13.Rc1 Bb6
14.Na4 Qe7 { This is my own idea. The plan is to offer the
d-pawn as a sacrifice for rapid development. I worked this out
last year, but had not reviewed the analysis, since 9.b3 is
rather rare against the Tarrasch these days.} 15.e3 { If
15.Nxb6 axb6 White has pawns hanging at e2 and a2.} Ne4 {This
is a rea l sacrifice, since White can actually consider taking
the pawn at d5, after which Black has a between 16...Rad8 and
16...Nb4. I believe that practical chances justify the
investment, but the complications need to be worked out by
objective analysis. What follows are just some preliminary
post-game thoughts.} 16.h3 {This looks like strong move, since
if the bishop retreats, the power of the pin is
lessened. Black, however, has other plans. 16.Qxd5 Nb4 looked
good to me during the game, but maybe it fails to a maniacally
tactical line. 17.Qe5 Qxe5 18.Nxe5 Bf5 19.Bxe4 Bxe4 20.Rc4 Nd3
21.Rxe4 Nxb2 22.Nxb2 f5 23.Rf4 Rxe5 24.Nc4 Rd5 25.Nxb6 axb6
26.a4 b5 27.Rb4 and White is clearly better. } Nxf2 { A very
strong sacrifice, which gives Black a definite advantage.}
17.Rxf2 Bxf3 { The only correct continuation, since 17...Qxe3
fails to 18.Nxb6! and 17... Bxe3 18.hxg4 is too much of an
investment for Black.} 18.Bxf3 Bxe3 19.Nc3 Qg5 {There is no
need to capture either rook when the bishop is so strong.}
20.Kg2 d4 21.Nd5 Rad8 {At this point I thought the game was
simply winning, but White found a strong reply.} 22.Rc5 Bxf2
23.Kxf2 Ne5 { It took me far too long to work out the
complications, and I caught up to my opponent on time. Each of
us was down to 12 minutes. 23...Re3 I considered this move for
a while. Far too long, actually. The ensuing time pressure
would prove very costly indeed. 24.h4 Qe5 25.Kg2 and I just
could not find anything convincing for Black. Rxf3 26.Qxf3 Nb4
27.Qf5 Qe2+ 28.Kh3 Nd3 29.Rc8 was one line I looked at, but my
brain couldn't go any further than capturing the knight if
Black checks at f2. Nf2+ 30.Qxf2 Qe6+ 31.g4 Rxc8 32.Qxd4 and
now I am glad I didn't go into this line! } 24.Qxd4 { What a
picture! White has veiled threats against g7 and the move Ne7+
must always be attended to. Black does not seem to have much
of an attack, but in fact the attack continues.} Nxf3 {This
undermines the knight at d5 and exposes the White king. Each
of us is down to 8 minutes here.} 25.Kxf3 Qf5+ { Wrong
check. I missed the fact that the White knight is lost after
...a6 and ...b6, so that White cannot afford to exchange
queens. 25...Qh5+ 26.Qg4 Qxg4+ 27.hxg4 b6 28.Rb5 a6 29.Rxb6
Rxd5 30.Rxa6 Rd3+ 31.Kf4 Rd2 Black wins. I must admit that I
missed the entire line with ...b6 and ...a6. This would have
been a much more efficient line, but my move should also
win. } 26.Nf4 Rxd4 27.Rxf5 {Still, the position is completely
winning for Black.} Rd2 28.Bc3 Rxa2 29.Nh5 f6 {Now 30.Bxf6
fails to 30...g6!} 30.Rb5 { Ten moves to go and only 2 minutes
left, so I try to keep it simple.} Rd8 31.Nf4 Rc2 32.Be1 b6
33.h4 Rd1 {This rook should have stayed home, but I didn't see
any possible threat to my king.} 34.Bb4 Rf1+ 35.Kg4 g6 36.h5 {
Here all I had to do is play 36...Rb1, but with both flags
hanging I thought I saw a mating net.} Kg7 37.hxg6 hxg6 38.Rd5
{Now things are tougher, because the simple 38...Rc7 fails to
39.Ne6+. Checking at f5 was necessary.} Kh6 {Now White forces
mate, pattern I have never encountered. I just never saw it
coming.} 39.Bf8+ Kh7 40.Rd7+ Kg8 41.Nxg6 { At first I thought
I had won on time here, but I had forgotten to notate the
exchange at g6. Then I thought that the position was not
winning for me. Finally, it dawned on me that it was mate in
one! A tragedy but certainly an entertaining and theoretically
important game!} 1-0

1.Nf3 {Notes by Eric Schiller. A game in which Browne
demonstrates his originality in the opening, and strength in
the middlegame. After the dubious exchange sacrifice, I am
positionally lost. -- Damn swisses! No time to prepare. Five
minutes with Najdorfmeister Danny Olim and I would have raced
into Browne's favorite defense, looking forward to an
interesting theoretical duel. Against a GM, mainline thoery is
the best plan. Use the mighty power of Grandmaster experieces
to present the GM with the need to improve on existing theory,
or sidestep it with an inferior line.} d6 {A last chance for
me to go to the Sicilian, and I thought about it - for a split
second.} 2.d4 {Well, we may go into a Torre after 2...Nf6

Defense!? True, it is now respectable, but still has an
unorthodox flavor which I thought was unappealing to Browne's
rather converntional palate.} 3.c4 {What would Tisdall do? I
recall that he likes the plan with Qb3. Why this entered my
head, I do not know, but I didn't really consider the
immediate e4.} Nd7 4.Qb3 Rb8 {# Now we are getting weird.}
5.g3 {I felt the bishop would be useful at g2. Browne's move
is by no means original, strange as it may appear. With White
commited to the fianchetto, Black may be able to use a break
with ...b5. There are plenty of alternatives, and perhaps
hitting the bishop is best. 5.h3 Bxf3 (5...Bh5 invites

1.e4 {Notes by Eric Schiller.} e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 Be7 4.d4 Nd7
{?? This is a well-known opening trap. In my desire to set up
the Lion Formation, I casually switched the move order
around. The price was very, very high.} 5.dxe5 {!} Nxe5 6.Nxe5
dxe5 7.Qh5 g6 8.Qxe5 {Well, I'm down a pawn. My rook is
attacked. My bishop is pinned. White has a huge
advantage. What can I do? Resign? No, it is too early.} Nf6
9.Bh6 {!} Rg8 10.Nc3 {# Lesson one is over. Don't fall for
opening traps! Now it is time for lesson two: Don't give up!
Sure, Black's position would make a mother cry. The gods are
laughing. At the prestigious New York Open my colleagues are
trying not to laugh out loud. People stroll by the board and
just shake their heads. It is very tempting to just concede
the game and get out of the room.} Ng4 {!? I realized this
wouldn't work, but my opponent, an experienced and literate
Candidate Master who exploited my move order, was now under
that typical pressure you feel when you have a game you know
you should win.} 11.Qf4 Nxh6 12.Qxh6 {?! 12.Rd1 ! would have
letely refuted my plan. However, Whte saw no reason to refrain
from capturing at h6 and h7, with mate threat at f7. } Bg5 {!}
13.Qxh7 Qd2+ {!} 14.Kf1 Rf8 {# It must be admitted that Black
has nothing for the pawns, really. Yet White must play
accurately. It is logical to batten down the hatches and
protect the pawns on the second rank. After all, if Black eats
both the c-pawn and b-pawn then the game could get
interesting. However, passivity is rarely a good idea,
Crawling into a shell concedes the initiative and gives the
opponent time to act. White should have chosen a pawn
sacrifice instead of defense.} 15.Bb3 {?! 15.Rd1 ! Qxc2 16.Qg7
Qxb2 17.Qe5+ Be7 18.Qxc7 ! Black cannot take the knight
because White will play Bxf7+ with discovered check, winning
the queen. } Be6 {!? I knew I'd need a lot of luck towin this
game, but saw some tactical possibilites if only I could open
the f-file. So I invited my opponent to do so, giving up a
pawn and placing my king in mortal danger. I realized that I
was doomed if my opponent finally got the rook to d1, but
having spurned all previous opportunities, I suspected that
White would pass on the move one more time. Bluffing doesn't
work as well in chess as in poker, but when you hold a hand as
bad as this, it is bluff or fold. Nothing to be gained by
folding, and no way to raise the stakes.} 16.Bxe6 {? 16.Rd1
Qf4 17.Bxe6 Rd8 !? [ 17...fxe6 18.Qd7# ] 18.Nd5 would have
encouraged my immediate resignation. } fxe6 17.Qxg6+ Ke7
18.Nd1 {# White chooses an obvious defense of f2 over the
weakening move 18.f3, but it was the wrong choice.} Rxf2+ {!!
My turn now. I was still furious with myself for the opening
play, but after this move I was all business again. I knew
that I was close to equalizinng, rebounding from a totally
lost position. Those who strolled past my board thinking I was
a complete idiot would see a miraculous escape! Perhaps even
enough to redeem my earlier stupidity.} 19.Nxf2 Rf8 20.Qg7+
Rf7 {# White has to give up the queen. On the other hand, with
two rooks and two pawns for the queen, White is still way
ahead in material. For the moment. My queen has been busy and
she is hungry. Three queenside pawns make a tasty snack!}
21.Qxf7+ Kxf7 22.g3 Qxc2 23.Kg2 Qxb2 24.Rab1 Qxa2 {# White can
take the b-pawn, or go after the a-pawn. If you recall the
first few tactical examples, you'll already suspect that a
rook at a7 and a knight at e3 could run into trouble. Taking
the b-pawn was correct.} 25.Ra1 {?} Qc2 26.Rxa7 {??} Be3 {My
opponent resigned, since I win the rook or the knight. I had
been to the brink of the abyss, and with perserverence and a
bit of luck, come away with a full point, to the astonishment
of anyone who had passed by the board during the opening. Does
this mean you can get away whenever you fall for a trap?
Hardly. Amazingly, I stumbled into a related trap a year
later, and lasted all of 15 moves before toppling my king, and
half of those were just available because my opponent made
some inferior moves.} 0-1

objectively. I made the capture simply because it allowed me
to develop a plan to win White's new weakling at e6, and
possibly get some counter play going by advancing central
pawns. Other moves would have left me with a miserable
position with no real chances to establish any sort of counter
play.} 24.dxe6 Ne7 { All I have to do is somehow advance my

instructed to sacrifice himself at e4 a bit later in the
game. The plan involving retreating both knights to the back
rank gives this game an artistic bent that I'm very proud of.}

busted, but then I came up with a plan. I actually saw the
line to the end of the game at this point. A lot of moves, but
mostly forced. My opponent clearly had no idea what I was up
to!} gxh4 37.Rxh4 Nd8 {Headed for g5. ! ? 37...Qe7 38.Bxh6 is

no problems to solve. 38...Qf7 39.g5 fxg5 40.Bxg5 Rxh4 41.Bxh4

great Hunter S. Thompson, who died while the tournament was
going on. I name it the Dutch Hunter Gambit.} Nxg4 6.Nxg4 fxg4

move are expected. After castling on the queenside I felt I
would add sufficient compensation for the pawns. } 11.Qxe4 Bd7

pawn. Even at this point I'm starting to look at combinations
involving capturing the bishop at d7 with my rook. Sooner or
later, I'm going to make this idea work.} Bd6 13.Rhg1 g6 14.h4

squeeze something out of moving my knight to d5. 14.Nd5 Qg7

in the spirit of gambit play. } Qf5 15.Qh1 {I'm not sure this
was objectively best but it seems to me that keeping pressure
on the long diagonal from the corner of the board might lead
to good things, and the queen could support the advance of the
h-pawn as well.} O-O-O 16.Rg5 Qf7 17.Ne4 Bf4 {A critical
position. I had of course anticipated that my opponent might
want to get these bishops off the board, and had intended all
along to leave my Rook at g5. As far as I was concerned,
getting rid of Black's defender on the d-file was worth the
exchange. Finally I could go back to my obsession with the
exchange sacrifice at d7, even if it had to be added to an
exchange sacrifice at g5.} 18.Nc5 {!} Bxg5 19.Bxg5 Qxf2 {? Oh
happy day! I was hoping for this, though I thought my opponent
would have spotted my tactical reply. 19...Qf5 was the move I
expected, and feared. 20.Nxb7 ! I don't think there is
anything better than this, though it leads to a position where
Black has some advantage Qxb5 21.Nxd8 Rxd8 22.Bxd8 Kxd8 23.Qf3

so many weak pawns, I figured that as long as I kept queens on
the board I had good practical chances. } 20.Nxb7 {!} Kxb7 {?

happy with this position, down a mere pawn but with much more
active pieces and plenty of weaknesses to work against. }

it really isn't a sacrifice as I regained the material
immediately and return with a profit.} Rxd7 {? This makes it
easy as I force a winning endgame. 21...Kb8 was a better plan,
