Aug-26-15  zanzibar: This is an amazing version of the Evans Gambit.

I'd like to nominate it as a GotD. Certainly shouldn't be too hard to come up with a good pun.

There must be something better than <Kots Kan't>!

Finding the right moves here, reminds me of threading the needle.

Which side of the board would you rather have?

Aug-26-15  dusk: Or something like "I Gamble Kots I Kan"
May sound forced tho
Aug-26-15  dusk: And why did black not play a zwischenzug at 17th move, capturing the g pawn?

  perfidious: The black player in this game is clearly a misattribution, as Kots was born only in 1933; but I have no idea who might have felt The Wrath of Kan instead.

<perfidious> This player appears to be <A. Kots>, according to rusbase.
