A "Sucker Punch"

Submitted by SukerPuncher333 on Fri, 07/31/2009 at 1:37pm.

In this game, Reti sucker punches Tartakower on move 9 with a mate in 3. (And yes, this game is the reason behind my screen name)

it's a common mating pattern (sac queen to get a double check), but usually it happens later in the game. nobody expected that so early. The game was barely out of the opening, and out of nowhere comes this.
