Today's show: White offers the Milner-Barry Gambit which is accepted. Although both sides play slowly, White understands the tactical themes better and Black soon falls for a tactic, losing the exchange. Black has two pawns but his backward development and misplaced king make his game difficult. Soon thereafter Black falls for a second tactic, giving a lost game. After some back and forth play, White ends up with the exchange and an outside passed pawn and rides to victory.
