  LRLeighton: White punishes black's unsound counter of 24...Rc8 with a clever in-between move 26 Rd8+ -- this allows white to eat a second knight with 27 gxf5 as 27...Rxe4 winning the queen fails to a mate in two starting with 28 f6+. Alert calculation by white!

  perfidious: Not sure why really, but I remember you from the first time I played the Tanglewood Open, in 1978; you were rated ~2000 then. Recall you playing the King's Indian Attack as White, then never seeing you again.

  LRLeighton: Yeah, I played a lot of Reti-type formations back then. I grew up in the Berkshires, so the Tanglewood Open was close to home, but then I went off to university. But in my late 20s, I went back to grad school, and I stopped playing chess -- I haven't played a serious tournament game in about 30 years. I'm getting back into it, but it isn't happening otb because of the pandemic.

  LRLeighton: Hi TJ: That's weird; I just happened to check out this game again and saw your kibitz from a few days ago. There were several Tanglewood Opens, but I think that the first one was the one that Perfidious and I both played in, back in 1978. I think (?) that it ran every year after that for about six years, but I had already moved. Other than players who then belonged to the Berkshire club, I couldn't really tell you who played, but the prize fund was large enough that it drew some masters.
