Oct-26-06		soberknight: I'm surprised nobody has noticed this game yet. I found it in Fred Reinfeld's book "Chess by Yourself" - one of the worst chess books I have ever seen, but it contains 10 good games. Black's queen sac with 20...Rhg8 is outstanding. White's key mistake was 9.Bc4-b3 instead of Bxa6 or Qe2.

Oct-27-06		syracrophy: <soberknight> You should also see the great games (with the French): O Tenner vs Carlos Torre, 1924 H Jennings vs Carlos Torre, 1924 and Samuels vs Carlos Torre, 1924 No one has kibitzed on them yet! Check them out! Great games! Especially O Tenner vs Carlos Torre, 1924, you'll love 24...xg3!! of this game!

Apr-24-09		DWINS: Fantastic game! Ufimtsev leaves his queen en prise for five consecutive moves. According to Chernev, Ufimtsev was not even a master at the time of this game, but was a "first-category" player.
