 rematch, nice moves. rider_tiger (1200) vs. bukefalt (1476) Annotated by rider_tiger (1200): This is an interesting game with careful moves on both sides. Black had a mate opportunity at move 53, did not see it. Black deserved a win but lost probably because he was "dizzy with success" as russians would put it and made an impulsive mistake at the end. Queen's pawn to d4, my favorite… |
