A couple of blitz games recently caught my eye (both eyes, in fact), for very different reasons. One was brilliantly played, featuring an imaginative attack packed with sacrifices. The other also featured an imaginative attack with sacrifices, but…well, it wasn’t so brilliant. The first game is inspiring and gives us something to aspire to, but the second game gives us something else: amusement and hope: even great players can make absurd errors, so we should be forgiving of ourselves when we play like a Bozo every now and then.
Have a look: be inspired, and then have a good laugh, as we see Mssrs. Kramnik and Navara in action.
