Black won't go quietly into that good night! He just keeps throwing every resource he has into the attack! |

Freaking brutal! I congratulate my opponent on a game well played (especially after survivng my initial onslaught). I don't find fault with his last move as he was in some serious time trouble (he had about 5 seconds left). This is one of my favorite OTB games ever. The sheer number of pins and their veracity was something I don't run across every day. It may seem like a rather mundane game to a lot of you stronger players (I know both sides made plenty of mistakes), but for patzers like me it sure was a beauty. Several of the players in this tournament hung around afterwards to compare games, and this one was awarded the "Freaking Brutal" award:) I hope you enjoyed it! - Thomas |
