Game Of The Week
This week’s game makes the second straight week someone has given me a game to publish, and it is also the second time I have published a draw. The first one, which I have yet to tire of telling people about, was when I drew Eric Billaux (https://cschessnews.blogspot.com/2004/08/battle-of-unbeatens.html) who was 305 rating points higher than me at the time.
Well, Dean Brown beat that this week. He scored a 362-point draw.
Needless to say, he was quite proud of his accomplishment, and after hearing his tale of the game, I was as well. You see, Dean is the chess equivalent of the anti-Energizer Bunny. He can play some great stuff early on but fades fast. The previous week he had lost a big upset as the evening wore on and he tried to both play a slow game and direct a quick tournament. A week later he was at it again.
This time he was a week wiser and knew he couldn’t hope to play late into the night and have a chance to win. So he decided to sac his knight to force an early outcome win or lose. He figured he’d rather crash and burn in a blaze of glory than play it safe and die a slow and painful death.
But when the opportunity for a draw appeared, he knew his battery wasn’t going to get any stronger so he better cut the power and recharge while Fritz looked at his plan. It was a good decision.
