Attack! Nezh Style!

Submitted by PrideNSorrow on Sun, 04/20/2008 at 5:57am.

For those unfamiliar with the chess games of Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov or Super Nezh for short, we'll go through a great game of his which served as inspiration for a recent blitz game I played. By the way, if you have no clue who I'm talking about, he served as a trainer for Mikhail Tal during his World Champsionship match with Botvinnik, and won the Russian Chess championship 5 times.

Now I'll show my certainly less spectacular game. This was a 5-minute blitz game so I wasn't spending a lot of time calculating lines to the nth move, but rather just trying to use the Nezh game as inspiration to "go with my gut" and attack!
