Subject: Interesting Game by Chop

Author: Peter McKenzie

Date: 02:10:54 06/12/00


I watched following game on ICC this evening.  The game was funny because I'd
just been thinking that Chop (Beadle) sacs the exchange too often and was
thinking of ways to fix this problem.  When I saw Rxa4 come along in this game I
though 'oh now, here we go again', but as events unfolded Chop whipped up a cool
attack.  These are the sort of games that keep me interested in this silly hobby
of computer chess :-)  I don't think you'll find the Rf8-f5-d5-d1 rook walk in
too many text books.

I don't know if giving up the exchange was sound (analysis welcome), but it
certainly was entertaining.  Hard luck to Amateur (& Will), I'm sure revenge
will be swift :-)
