wild, weird yet interesting game
Beautiful to watch :)
why not take whites knight on move 7?
that'd be checkmate steve...........
I once resigned a blitz game with Black on about the 10th move (didn't realize it was an actual opening variation--thought I'd just blundered away material).
Yeah, it's probably one of the most crazy opening there is though. If you like tactical games, this variation is for you.
Great game. White missed a good chance when he deviated from the latest theory with move Qf3. Better to move 13.Nxb6 and Qf3 the next move as in:
And who would these two players be?
It's a Bishop's opening, not a Vienna (White plays f4 in the Vienna).
I beg your pardon, but the Vienna game is a chess opening characterized by the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3. Yes, one of the main goals of the vienna game is usuallly to play an eventual f4, but not always.
Van Oosterom Joop is an ex, or maybe even current?, coorespondence chess champion. There is some debate about how much help he got from Jerone Piket to win this title...
I stand corrected... I wrote that and thought I deleted it.
