Submitted by IM IMCheap on Sat, 05/23/2009 at 5:28pm.

Today you have the chance to play like Moscow Open-2009 winner WGM Natalia Pogonina. In the last round of the tournament she crushed her opponent, IM Marina Romanko, with a few nice tactical blows - can you also spot them? Replay the annotated game and see for yourself!

Hint: don't forget to press "Move List" for sub-variations and comments!

That was a cool game! I guess to apply tactics also, one needs to know the positional aspects of the game & if the current position allows it. Very well executed ... Thanks for sharing.
