Aug-09-06		Albertan: Hi oao2102. I did some research on the Bayonet attack using my chessbase 9. I discovered that the first game in which the bayonet attack was used was in the game Kevitz-Pinkus,Manhattan CC-ch 5556 1955. Here is that game: [Event "Manhattan CC-ch 5556"] [Site "New York"] [Date "1955.12.09"] [Round "6"] [White "Kevitz, Alexander"] [Black "Pinkus, Albert Sidney"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "E97"] [PlyCount "64"] [EventDate "1955.12.04"] [EventType "tourn"] [EventRounds "15"] [EventCountry "USA"] [Source "ChessBase"] [SourceDate "1999.11.16"] 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. d4 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. b4 a5 10. Ba3 axb4 11. Bxb4 Nd7 12. Nd2 f5 13. a4 Nc5 14. Bxc5 dxc5 15. Nb3 b6 16. a5 Bb7 17.

Aug-10-06		oao2102: Very interesting! Thanks for the info. Not surprising that the 1955 game is not well known. Nicely done
