This is beautiful Masters game (don't try to find it in Chess.com database :) There is a gambit named after one of them and some defences after another. Enjoy and don't forget to answer the question from the title ;)

I was expecting more.

More? This is only 11th move and it is 10+ moves before mate, but this move was decisive. Sorry if it is not level 2000+ ....

I think you misunderstand me, you need to show more moves. To many, it will appear that Black has just gotten his pawn back. It's White's passive position that needs to be seen. How did the game finish?

Michael John Basman resigned after 10 moves.


12. Nf6 gxf6 13. fxg3 Bxg3 14. Kf1 Nc6 15. Be3 Nb4

16. Kg2 Nd5 17. Kxg3 Nxe3 18. Qd2 Qd6 19. Kf2 Qf4 20. Nf3 exf3

Ah! Basman. Hence the advanced g-pawn.

I got it on the first try. I saw the hanging knight and knew to resist it because it would mean losing our own knight. So I decided to find a spot to attack with our own knight. My initial thought was to go after the queen but then their hanging knight would just take so I went for the rook. And boom, got it on the first try. Woot!

Lol, got it on the third try
