Chess Scotland Noticeboard

Amusing Anecdote,

I was playing through two games on Chess Tempo website the other day - both the same opening few moves.

One game was Sosonko - Larsen and the other was Kasparov - Larsen.

I had the open in two separate windows. Played through what I thought was the Sosonko game and was stunned by the beauty of a rook sac "Sosonko" played.... it was only when I checked again which window I opened did I realise that it wasn't the Sosonko game at all but a where the white player was the person many reckon to have been the greatest ever to play the game..... Laughing

Not saying Sosonko wasn't a good player but that 25th move of white was genius...

Here is the game.... hope you enjoy white's 25th move as much as I did ......

Maybe I am wrong and many GM's would have come up with it.... Maybe as these guys in the chessgames comments say it wasn't sound but ... what SHOCK value...
