I will trade you "Surviving Beyond move 11" for "My finest games - fully
annotated".  Here is a sampling to whet your appetitite:

Event: Peach State Open
Site: Atlanta, Ga.
Date: 1976-07-04
Round: 3
White: R. Brown
Black: D. Honeycutt
Result: 0-1
WhiteElo: 1760
BlackElo: Unr

1. e4   Nf6
2. e5?

White thinks black is oblivious to the threat of exf6.
But black's next completely shatters white's plans.

2. ...  Ng8!!

Black wins on time.


After 2 ... Ng8!! my opponent abruptly got up and left the playing  hall, not to
return.  He mentioned before the game that he had just returned from a vacation
in Mexico, but I'm sure his departure was due to my dazzling knight play and had
nothing to do with his vacation.

The book has 3 more wins, every bit as scintillating as the above.
