Curses.....

I sat there working out a lovely win v vandervelde
then as it got closer to the knock out blow...I'm White.

I was convinced 6. e5 was a blunder, and only after 9. Ngxe2 I looked into chess base and found out it was genuine variation!
Even more, Short defeated Miles on tournament in London 1976 with that!

On chessgames.com one of kibitzers suggested 11...g5, and I took it, it looked I trapped the Bishop.
But no.

Instead of Nxc7+, Re4 gave more fight.

Not looked at Re4. Nxc7+ looked like a shot.

Look at this game.:

Originally they gave that game to Murray, I played it.

HI vandervelde,

Next time we play it's your turn to sac both Queens.
This is our other game. I tried to set up a fortress
on the dark squares covering the while board.
vandervelde slipped up trying to get in. (move 28)

I'm 40 years married this Sunday, June 18th.
Not bought her a present yet. I'll get a chess book.
