KNIGHT SAC TO ENABLE MOBILE PAWN MASS!

Key points:

1) A mobile pawn mass can be enough compensation for a minor piece.

2) Cramped positions can allow for setting up for a good attack

Greatexcaliber,

I am glad you pointed that out.27...R3g6 is a rather bad move. 27...Bg4 28. Be4 f5 would have been a more stable line but in the game the text move was played. Even in Staunton's book, "The chess Tournament" he makes no mention of error on Wyvill's part on this move. Thanks for pointing this out.

Have you been following my commentary on hastings 1895 at all? ( I have it on my main blog blunderprone.blogspot.com ) Also if you look in the archives back in MArch-MAy I have the series on the London 1851 event. I use this blog mainly as games cache to reference since my other blog has been around for a while.

Enjoy,

George
