This is similar to the Anderssen-Lange game 1859.... or at least one that I recognize. My coach showed me this one hte other night. I recognized a similar position.

That's how I lost my queen 5 years ago. I will never forget.

all the best..
BDK, Ive been checking your blog every couple days so I added you to my links. If find room maybe you could add me too. Although you might have to make a new category for bizzare chess blogs.
Perhaps off-topic, but anyway...
I recently switched to a new black defense, and the first four people I have played it against have all blundered a whole piece against it within the first ten moves.
And it was not blitz. ( I play 30 10.) All rated around 1600 or 1700 on FICS.
Another thing I notice is that a lot of people at this level sac their bishop on f7 ( deliberately sac not blunder ) just to get one lousy Queen check.
The only way I can understand this is that they must play a lot of blitz where this kind of stuff must pay off often enough to make it worthwhile. Then when they get to slower time limits, they have trouble shifting back to more cautious play.
FF,
the question is, how often did you NOT sac a bishop at f7 while it was correct because you never have played blitz:)
Chessmaster sacks the bishop and sometimes a knight on f7 often. I never understood it either. You may get a boost in development but as soon your opponent recovers (provided its not blitz) your just down material. Its too aggressive in my book.
PS: I'll have to add you next update.
FF: Fried Liver, anyone?
It is nice to see that you continue to develop a healthy disrespect for material.
Playing on the edge with the initiative is great fun. There are certainly a lot of times when a f7 bishop/knight sac is valid and times when it is a little shaky but fun. keep sacking .

tempo,
I am just another patzer like the rest, of course. I "sac" pieces very time I can calculate things out to my satisfaction, which takes no courage of course.
I'll also sac the exchange for positional compensation, which doesn't require much courage either.
What I don't have the nerve to do is to sac a whole piece for positional compensation.
BTW BDK,
As a reader of Heisman, I am sure you are aware that Fried Liver is GOOD for Black, whereas White can improve on it with the Lolli which is curtains for Black.
That said, I wouldn't play the Black side of the Fried Liver without studying it first.
For that matter, I wouldn't play the Petroff without studying the Cochrane gambit very carefully.
FF: yes, the Fried Liver is good for black in theory. In practice, white scores very well. At any rate, the point is moot. I don't smoke Fried Liver.
I enjoy your blog very much.
Have you ever read The Basis of Chess Combination by DuMont.
It's a very enjoyable read.
