Attack with LarryC!

Beliavsky Fifis Assem

This week our GM LarryC starts with a striking combination, from the 2000 Istanbul Olympiad, in a game played between the Georgian GM Sturua and Chinese Xu Jun. After the savory hors d'oeuvre, chef Larry offers us a classic main course: a game played in Tunisia 1985 between Tunisian IM Assem Afifi and super-GM Alexander Beliavsky. The game is a one-sided battle, where the strong GM "sacrifices" a rook - leaving it sit in a corner - to pursue a mating attack.
