My Simul Game With IM atillaturzo

This was a 20 board simul given by IM Attila Turzo, and sponsored by adamredsox24.  This was my first game against a titled player, and it was against an International Master!  A big thank you to IM Turzo and adamredsox24 for giving me this great experience.

 

 

The simul took place on July 19, 2015 which is significant for me because I joined chess.com and began studying the game of chess on July 20, 2014.  This was a great way to close out my first year of chess!

 

 

I was suprised by the Benko Gambit in this game, but luckily I had a little experience with it.  I prepared a line against it for a Slow Chess League game a few months ago.  I was greatful to have had some of that knowledge floating around.  Otherwise I don't think I would have lasted as long as I did.
