1. d4 |
(I played this game back in high school and Dad thought it was good enough to submit to CL&R. They must have thought so too, because they published it. All annotations are from CL&R except those in parentheses). It is astonishing how few players are prepared to face a counter gambit. Here White is radically unprepared and finds himself the victim of an elegant final combination. Notes based on those submitted by the winner's father, Harold W. Kohn. |

Speculative play, but it turns out to be a great investment. |

Unwary. Playing against a gambit, it is better to develop one's own pieces, not the opponent's. |

5... Bxd6 6. e3 Nc6 7. Qc2 Bf5 8. Qd1 |
Instead of losing more time with the Queen, White should try Nc3. |

8... Qf6 9. a3 |
To prevent ... Bb4+ |

9... O-O-O 10. Nbd2 Nc5 11. Be2 Nd3+ 12. Bxd3 |
Kf1 isn't much better, but now Black's Bishop ties up White completely. |

12... Bxd3 13. Ra2 Rhe8 14. b4 Qg6 |
What can White do? If Rg1 Rxe3+ 16. fe Qg3+ 17 hg Bxg3#. And if Nh4, the same combination works equally well. White's choice, however, is no better. (White's only chance here was Nf1) |

15. g3 Rxe3+ 16. fxe3 Qxg3+ 17. hxg3 Bxg3# |
Vividly illustrating the power of the two bishops. |
