The 5th and final game of my series with my friend. In this game St George tries to slay the mighty dragon with 9. Bc4 (Known as the Yugoslav attack or St George's attack) and combines a vicious double pawn sac. However St George isn't they only one willing to sacrifice material for an attack. The might dragon sacs the exchange trying to force an attack to rewrite the story books. | |||||
