Robert Burnt, New Yonkers Times–Game Of The Week: The Greatest Game Ever Played

1 Comment Published by January 12th, 2007 in Chess, Robert Burnt, Whole Chess Games

This game, published in “Developments in the King’s Gambit 1980–88″ (Quadrant Marketing Ltd. 1988) features perhaps the most ferocious opening line in chess. The Muzio is Muzio enough, but the sac on move eight in this line takes chess opening aggression to new heights. Look now upon such contest as has a permanent place in the annals of chess literature.
