Oct-17-14  estrick: This game is featured in the October 2014 edition of Chess Life Magazine, in Pandolfini's column, 'Solitaire Chess.'

The opening novelty in this game comes fairly early with 10. g4. This leads to a crushing kingside attack for White, who never castles, but instead tucks his king safely on e2 after the center pawns have all been locked up.
