In this classic game played in 1970, Italian International Master Stefano Tatai (1938-) plays with abandon and talent to reach the enemy King. When the scope of a Bishop is cut, other dangerous lines are opened.
Nice knight sac to set things up..!
Thanks for sharing ! it is very good game!
I have never heard of this guy, but now I want to see his other games - its an instructive game. I feel that the move 14. Nxc6 was the start of black's downfall placing the queen on an exposed square and forcing him to close off his own line of attack by 19 Nxd5, whist removing another pawn which would otherwise have impeded white's pawn storm on the king side. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Oh, does anyone agree?
Good Game
It was really a dangerous line and a fine display of tactics after giving up apiece it was a sure mate
Dangerous lines, daring attacks and determination lead white to victory in a delightful challenge
I'm loving it! thanks for posting!
Notice the attractive 21.Bxg7 Bxg7 22.f6 ages fast with 22...Nxe6. Then 23.Bxd5 Qc7 (or even Qxd5). Tatai came in 4th place with 10.5/15. Heinz Schaufelberger scored 7 coming in 9-10. Bogdan Kurajica won with 11.5. Pal Benko was next with 11. Walter Browne was 3rd on tie-breaks with 10.5.
