Turzo Bites The Dust
My son Chris is attending Sheffield University in England. One of the ways we keep in touch is through a common interest in chess. We both spend a good deal of our time playing online at the Internet Chess Club. Saturday I received an e-mail from Chris, he had played in a Simul against International Master Atillo Turzo Both Chris and I have had the incredible good fortune of having won games against Atillo. Yesterday It was Chris's turn. The time control was 60/30 which means each players has 60 minutes for the entire game after each move an additional 30 seconds is added to your time. If you're a chessplayer take a minute and play through this game. Chris sacrifices a piece on move 25 ... Nxe5 for a wonderful attack and eventual victory some 20 moves later.

A pretty game. Your son is to be congratulated. I've played Turzo many times with no success. It is too bad about the ending of this one though. He could have mated directly one move earlier, without Rxc2+, as the knight was pinned.
