A Game from the 2015 Space Coast Open

Back on April 24th I had the chance to drop in on the first round of the 22nd Space Coast Open. I got lucky and observed the following game. We've already posted this on the Club's Facebook page, but I decided put it up here for ease of access. Paul Leggett provided some analysis. This game is fun to play over with friends, as there's a lot going on. Enjoy!

From Paul's Facebook post:
Hi all- Todd Durham was visiting the Space Coast Open when he observed this game between Matt Helfst and Vlad Yanofsky. Todd was so impressed that he asked to take a picture of the score, and then he showed it to me Thursday at the club (one of those days where I hated leaving early to go to work!). He converted the score and then sent it to me so we could post it. All the notes are mine except where indicated, superficially based off of Komodo's analysis. It is one of those games where the computer analysis is interesting, but it sheds very little light on the competitive nature of the struggle with fuzzy human logic and a ticking clock. Enjoy this great contest! EDIT: For the record, the game ended at move 61, and the subsequent moves should have been in note format. Sorry about that!

  1. Let me know if the replayable board works and any other criticisms about it: too big (unlikely), too small, annoying colors, etc.
