Wow! usually see 2 rooks win against 1 queen

play4fun64

Black's king is not safe.. And white has passed pawns. 33. Rx b7 is the killer move.

Most engine games are not really fun. This one is the exception.

Another Thriller!

65 moves! that was insane!!!

play4fun64

It's rapid 10/3 so they don't make perfect moves. It's really WILD and black looks like winning.

just a wild ride

The game is not Scripted FYI 😊 Only the first 8 moves is provided.

I see. ok cool

The ECO classify it Pirc without g6

play4fun64

It's alright if ECO and me are wrong. Just enjoy the game. You can't argue that game is Beautiful.

Ok. I don't have the book but I take your words at full face value. I thought it's a Pirc because Droidfish classified it as one. At the bottom of picture.

Another characteristics of Pirc other than d6, Nf6 are the moves c6 followed by b5. Anyway if your book says it's a Polish defense so be it. The author of Droidfish is not a professional chess player probably.

There are openings/ transposition that are under two opening (variation). Owens defense and French defense can easily be mistaken.

Rxc4 really demonstrates the dominance of knight and bishop over rook with the bishop sniping for discovered attacks and defending home base while the knight is out there forking the rooks and creating mayhem .

Nice Old Benoni Defence : Franco - Benoni Game against a 1400 with 2 queen sacrifices . The second one leading to a wild 8 or 9 move king hunt and checkmate if played till end !
