Chris Wright (155)

2007


This is from the Bradford Open. I like it because my opponent, A Aquirre (135), obviously didn't see he would get mated if he accepts my sacrifice on g4 (declining it isn't good either but doesn't lead to total disaster) - and neither does Fritz. It took me twelve moves (could have been a couple of moves less if I hadn't accepted the first piece he threw back at me), but sure as eggs is eggs he's going to get mated on either h2, h1 or g2.
