Asunto: Re: Another interesting Game at GothicChessLive
Sumerian:
Thanks for the game Reinhard. It was interesting in that Black (my side) had, on the surface, what everyone would identify as a "lead in development" at first glance, yet White (S.M.I.R.F.) was uncastled with fewer pieces in play, yet stood better in my opinion (after I reviewed the game.) There were some interesting "passive sacrifices" by Black where a Bishop was left hanging "on purpose", as well as a Queen. These were more akin to "traps" rather than tactically sharp play, but again, they added to the interest of the game.
