Double Exchange Sacrifice

HERE is the playing hall before the start of the first rounds of the Olomouc chess festival.
Bright lighting and a decent amount of space at the city's Hotel Flora
I was able to execute a double-echange sac in the first round of the seniors.
Black to make his 34th move in Konrad Kryst (1635) - Spanton (1881)
OK, Black has various ways to win, but it was fun to play:
34....Rdxe4+ 35.Nxe4 Rxe4+
The game finished:
36.Kxe4 d2 37.Rh1 d1=Q 38.Rxd1 Bxd1 0-1

  1. Tim, I really enjoy your blog, but is it possible/practical for you to arrange things so the games can be played through on the screen (as per Chessbase)? Thanks, Martyn

  2. Hi Martyn - thanks for your comment. I would love to be able to embed games/positions, with annotations, that give a replayable experience similar to using ChessBase, but have been unable to find anything that comes even close.
