  Wyatt Gwyon: It's correct. Black is screwed. Leave it to Hodgson to sac a rook like that.

  wordfunph: when asked for his best game, GM Hodgson referred to this one.

<I was white and I played with real freedom, a really nice game, a flowing game. Poor Boris looked stunned at the end of it. He didn't really know what had hit him. He couldn't complain because he'd lost a really good game. All I remember is this lovely game that I played against Boris.>
