Sometimes you just play a move because you just want to know what comes out of
it. And to quote Tal "I don't know if it is sound, but if it's difficult for me,
it's difficult for him". I am only a mediocre chess player, but do play chess
with friends on a regular basis. Here is one fun (well at least for me) game I
played this evening:
[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2004.03.07"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Bas Hamstra"]
[Black "Hans Serier"]
[Result "1-0"]
1. e3 e5 2. b3 d5 3. Bb2 Nf6 4. Nc3 Nc6 5. f4 {4s} a6 6. Nf3 Bd6 7. fxe5 Nxe5 8.
Be2 O-O 9. O-O c5 10. Qe1 Qc7 11. Qh4 Ng6
[D] r1b2rk1/1pq2ppp/p2b1nn1/2pp4/7Q/1PN1PN2/PBPPB1PP/R4RK1 w - -
12. Qxf6 gxf6 13. Nxd5 Qd8 14. Nxf6+ Kh8 15. h4 h5 16. Bd3 Be7 17. Ng5 Nxh4 18.
Ng4+ f6 19. Nxf6 Bxf6 20. Rxf6 Rxf6 21. Nf7+ Kg8 22. Nxd8 Rf8 23. Bc4+ Kh7 24.
Nf7 1-0
The computer found some holes, especially 20. ... Rxf6? seems to be sub-optimal.
But still, to play a long-term queen-sac and win the game is *extremely*
satisfying :-)
