Fireworks for the Fourth
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2019 9:24 am
It's Independence Day in the US, so to celebrate the holiday I'm sharing some recent CyberNezh brilliancies, full of dazzling sacs and daring attacking play, drawing the opponents into a dubious-but-deadly morass of complications.
Try this style of play at your own risk.
[pgn] [Event "50m/10m"] [Date "2019.06.10"] [Round "5"] [White "Ares-GB-w64adv"] [Black "CyberNezh"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "C00"] [WhiteElo "2400"] [PlyCount "64"] [EventDate "2019.??.??"] 1. e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.

I really 'dug' the kingside pawn storm that eventually led to the double Rxh2 sac.

I loved the 14.Nh5 (?!!) idea, not quite sound, but similar to what I've seen in some thematic correspondence games
that followed this gambit line of the Tarrasch French.

The win over Giraffe is easily my favorite, saccing a bunch of pawns, dangling the Rook on a8,
and then furiously saccing three more pieces before the final king hunt. Mind-boggling stuff.
(Note: the above games were played without a book)
Cheers!
