  Eric Schiller: A scholastic game. In such games, a player often foolishly sacs two pieces for a rook and a pawn, and once in a while overlooks a checkmating move, too. The game is an example of how not to play the opening, for sure. The capture at f7 has been seen half a dozen times in the databases, including this game:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.d3 d6 6.Ng5 O-O 7.Bxf7+ Rxf7 8.Nxf7 Kxf7 9.Bg5 h6 10.Bxf6 Qxf6 11.Qf3 Qxf3 12.gxf3 Nd4 13.O-O-O Nxf3 14.h3 c6 15.Ne2 Be6 16.Kb1 b5 17.c3 a5 18.d4 Bb6 19.h4 b4 20.d5 cxd5 21.exd5 Bf5+ 22.Ka1 Kg8 23.Ng3 Bh7 24.Ne2 bxc3 25.Nxc3 Bd4 26.Rh3 Bf5 27.Rxf3 Bg4 28.Rdd3 Bxf3 29.Rxf3 Rc8 30.Kb1 Bxc3 31.bxc3 Rf8 32.Rxf8+ Kxf8 33.Kb2 Ke7 34.Ka3 Kd7 35.Ka4 Kc7 36.Kxa5 Kb7 37.Kb5 g5 38.hxg5 hxg5 39.a4 g4 40.a5 e4 41.a6+ Ka7 42.Kc6 e3 43.fxe3 g3 44.Kxd6 g2 45.Kc7 g1Q 46.d6 Qxe3 47.d7 Qb6+ 48.Kc8 Qb8# 0-1, Wisgerhof Jan Willem - ♙rince Jip, Hengelo (♘etherlands) 2000

  Eric Schiller: <arturo>I was 15, which was young for a chessplayer back in 1970. That was the first year I played USCF-rated chess regularly. The "coach" of my high school team was about a 1300 player at best. We had no organized chess instruction, just got together to play once a week. The Fischer boom came along soon and everything changed.
Jan-05-06  ArturoRivera: Its amazing that being 15 and young at that time i pressume, you still keep playing chess. Before, i know that there were not much resources and chess was not so popular. great that you kept playing none theless.

And its cool that you, being a consumated player, still answer questions from any patzer.

Jan-08-06  skarecrow: Eric: I think it was a fun game, for the age, and a good example for someone just learning the game, of why two minors for a major may not always be right. thanks for the posting....

  Eric Schiller: Thanks, but it was not much of a game. I learned a lot in two years, producing Reshevsky vs E Schiller, 1972 But everyone has to start somewhere! Some of my other enjoyable juvenalia:

E Schiller vs A Draifinger, 1971
Lombardy vs E Schiller, 1971
E Schiller vs V Klemm, 1971

But I didn't start playing quality chess until 1979 at the New York City Championship, where I made Master, and took up the Caro-Kann.

Mar-08-18  Nightsurfer: This is amazing: Why for Heaven`s Sake do amateur players fall in love - over and over again - with the quite ridiculous "bargain" of "trading in" Rook & one Pawn versus one Bishop and one Knight on the most delicate <point f7>, please compare <7.Bxf7+?!?!? ... pp.> in this game here <Roman vs Eric Schiller (1970)> with the more or less similar <7.Bxf7+?!?!? ... pp.> in Smudo vs R Gralla, 2004 and/or <7.Bxf7+?!?!? ... pp.> in Ulrich Lang vs R Gralla, 2003 ... :-( ... :-( !?!?
