Stockholm Syndrome

This is a rather interesting game between Tarrasch and the Stockholm chess club. The grandmaster is surprised by a series of Morphy-like sacrifices in the opening and never fully recovers. The club gains a large advantage and eventually converts it into a winning endgame.

This was the second of two games- the other one was also a Tarrasch loss.

    ndorward, I believe there isn't a  forced mate, but black was down 3 pawns and an in an awful position.

    Some of the moves reminded me of Morphy's Opera Game

    Great game! Loved how many gambits white threw at black. Eventually it got to the point where black was afraid to accept so many of them! Wonderful display of initiative, and catching your opponent in the middle of the board and then mating them.
