Seen many of his games, obviously very talented. Never really looked him up. My interest is piqued. Thanks Batgirl.

There are many misconceptions about Dadian that are perpetuated through cursory readings and mindless acceptance of so-called facts. He's actually a quite fascinating figure made more so through the controversies that surround him. His style is purely Romantic - not at all a modern style, but very much an aesthetic one.
Because of their innate beauty and creativity, many games by Prince Dadian of Mingrelia are well known. The following game is bold and clever, but relatively unknown. I found the game in a an article published in the Krymska Svitlytsya. Dadian is playing against a Russian master of that time, S. Kostrovitsky of St. Petersburg.
