Odd Twin


The following game was played at FICS the day after my game against MRBarupal (see"Battle Again"). This time Black faces no mere pawn-pusher, but an actual, stronger, knight-pusher...


Knightpusher - MRBarupal
blitz, FICS, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Kf8

The Sorensen Variation.

6.Nxc6 dxc6 7.0-0 Nf6 8.d3 Bg4 9.Qe1 Qe8 10.Be3


The moves of this game are exactly the same as those in perrypawnpusher - MRBarupal, blitz, FICS, 2011. Perhaps for that reason, or perhaps for another, here Black resigned.

"Objectively," the game is still a bit better for the second player.
