Recent GM Games (# 24)

E. Sutovsky - A. Kunte

The opening was wild and wooly ... as crazy as anything I have ever seen.
(I am a master, and I was lost by move ten!)
Deep Junior considered the position after White's 16th move to be nearly equal ...
I considered the position to be nearly winning for White. (To be honest, I think that the truth lay
somewhere between these two extremes.)
White could have played the very simple 19.g3, "+/=" with a small but very solid edge.
Initially - at first glance - I thought that the capture on d7 was simply a total blunder.
The sacrificial flurry at the end of the game literally took my breath away!
(Tal would have been proud!!!)
I am thinking about annotating this game ... at least briefly! (It is really an exceptional game!)
