My good games at this week #65
Hello!
Regular readers may remember my exploration of the Urusov Gambit. I’ve posted interesting games in this line before, but here are a few fresh examples where my opponents committed some dramatically fatal mistakes and lost the game outright. Sometimes, the psychological shock of facing a theoretical rarity is enough to win the game!
The second game I’m sharing happened immediately in the very next round of the tournament! You have to love it when a pet line is working that well.
Speaking of my favorite gambits, the Wing Gambit remains my chaos weapon of choice against the Sicilian Defense.
Other games in this insane line can be found in My Good Games #31 (UAArtur (2094) vs rfll (2125) and My Good Games #34 (UAArtur (1923) vs Player from Russia (1799).
Enjoy!
Yes, I confess: I really don't play the classic d7-d5 anymore!

My new Benoni Defense adventures kicked off this week, offering a chance to play from the Black side with aggression.
The next Benoni game was against an opponent who seemed completely unprepared for a theoretical discussion; they played the opening quite carelessly. However, all the interesting and decisive things happened much later in the middlegame.
In a past blog, we discussed the Hummer of Von Hennig , and I joked that I might soon stop practicing this rare gambit.
But as shown in my game from My Good Games #64 (UAArtur vs Player from Germany), I still have a few moves left in the tank!
I guess I'm turning into that stubborn old man at the chess club who still insists on showing everyone "how it was done in the good old days."
Hehe.
