(My apologies for being a day late in posting this)
Normally, I try to present grandmaster games obscure enough that ChessBase doesn’t have them in its Megabase. This week is an exception. It’s an amateur game that I find particularly enjoyable for the way Black is bound and trussed, and how every attempt to free himself only tightens White’s grip. Black’s knight is so pathetic that he dumps it rather than have to look at it any more. A game that gives a certain sadistic pleasure. The winner was a close friend of mine, who unfortunately passed away about two years ago.
