American readers in particular might recognise the title by one of their most well-known authors, James Fenimore Cooper, who wrote several novels of the Frontier. This game, especially in the later stages reminds me of the wagon train travelling across the eponymous grasslands, surrounded by hazards of storm, wildfire and, of course, a local populace (Sioux) filled with malice aforethought. The game begins as it continues, a tactical contest full of incident. Black gets an early advantage but lets it slip. Thereafter, white has more or less the better of it, but never quite managing to put the game out of reach. Although White misses 'match point' more than once, it has to be admitted they aren't always easy to spot, and until right at the end, his 'second best' moves are good enough to retain the edge. Finally, with the win almost in his grasp, one mistimed move loses White's winning advantage, and the next brings about his defeat. A complicated game and never dull, this, in my view, is the sort of game from which one can learn a great deal. Enjoy.
