  Stonehenge: White was Mike 3.0 (Computer).
Apr-15-22  rwbean: Mike and the Mechanics really took a spanner to Viktor (named after Korchnoi).

I like 7. f3 because White gains a tempo and wants to play that anyway. Follow up with g4. It must be a record to lose this game straight out of the opening.

11. g5 ♘h5 12. ♘f5 threatening ♘xd6+ and if 12... gxh5 then 13. ♕xh5

Mate in 12 with several quiet moves
