Melik's "most recent memory" comes to us from the year 1996. GM Khachiyan was just entering the prime of his career, and he was faced off against a fellow prominent American Chess Coach, GM Miron Sher. It's "go big or go home" in this game, with all the marbles on the line! Melik talks about the psychology of these moments, his practical (though perhaps dubious) decision, and the pressure he likes to put on his opponents, following in the footsteps of a former great!
