|
ToTheKings: <PhilFeeley> Queen sac week? More like King sac on this one. Black hands white the game. Time pressure blunder perhaps?

ToTheKings: Was this a time pressure blunder?

| | Sep-09-08 R Kuijf vs I Rogers, 1989
| |

ToTheKings: I found this quote on chessbase and laughed so hard my sides hurt: "Mark Vogan, Houston, TX, USA
By the way, you will not see GM draws in match play; they only occur in tournaments." http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
