[D]r1b1qrk1/pp4bp/n1p2np1/4pp2/2P5/BPN2NP1/P3PPBP/R2QR1K1 b - - 0 12 Deep Fritz - Gambit Tiger 1.0 This game has previously been posted here by Didzis, but I think it deserves some more attention. White has just played *12.Bb2-a3*. Now, this is a dangerous and critical move for white, since it a) gives away 1 tempo b) weakens the h8-a1 diagonal c) gives black free hands in the centre. The very aggressive and dynamic reaction of black, reminds me of Tal. But the position really prayed for 12.e4 to be played, instead of 12.Ba3. Gambit Tiger played *12.-e4!!* (one for the strength, one for the bravery ;) This move immediately focus on b and c, mentioned above. When I saw this move my first reaction went something like this: "Oh yes, very logical - but is this really possible to play?! If 13.Bxf8 black can't even take on f3, since the rook on f1 has moved to e1. So he must recapture on f8 and play with an exchange down..." Oh yes, but after *13.Bxf8*, Gambit Tiger played *13.-e3!!* And I almost spilled my coffee all over the keyboard... This is crazy and very unconventional chess. Tactically brilliant, showing a non-standard pattern in the attack. After 13.-e3 black is a rook down and later, when the smoke cleared, he got an ending with an exchange down - and as compensation a tremendous bishop pair and two passers on the g-h files. Black won and here is the whole game once more.
