Daniel Sullivan vs Steve Withington [Date "2019.06.27"] [White "Daniel Sullivan"] [Black "Steve Withingon"] [Result "1-0"] {My previous game in the Summer League against Daniel was something of lesson in how white should not play the Richter-Veresov attack, during which I enjoyed a few moments of misplaced optimism before being crushed. This game was altogether more exciting and satisfying.} 1. d4 e5 {Englund Gambit} 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 f6 4. e4 {White seems to know what he’s doing…} fxe5 5. Bc4 Nf6 6. Ng5 Bc5 7. Nf7 Qe7 8. Nxh8 {Staying in the game and making threats is going to require some bold play from black} Bxf2+ 9. Kf1 d5 10. Bxd5 Ng4 11. Bf7+ Kf8 12. Qf3 Nd4 13. Qa3 c5 14. Bg5 Qd6 15. Qd3 h6 16. Bh4 Bxh4 17. Ng6+ Kxf7 18. Nxh4 Bd7 19. Na3 Rf8 20. Nf3 Ke7 21. c3 Nxf3 22. Qxd6+ Kxd6 {From here the game goes downhill for black…} 23. gxf3 Rxf3+ 24. Kg2 Rf2+ 25. Kg3 h5 26. h3 h4+ 27. Kxh4 Ne3 28. Kg3 Rf4 29. Rhe1 Rxe4 30. Kf3 Rh4 31. Kxe3 Rxh3+ 32. Kf2 Rh2+ 33. Kg1 Rxb2 34. Nc4+ {My blunder really only confirmed that I should have already resigned. White countered all my best efforts very effectively, but it was still the kind of sharp game that is a great deal of fun for me..} 1-0 You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.
