Another example of the need to fight to the bitter end

Dennis Monokroussos (can you tell he's a favorite chess writer of mine?) is now writing a column for a site called World Chess. His most recent column features a brilliant, if flawed, game between two obscure Dutch amateurs from the 1930s. In it, the player of the white pieces (Chris de Ronde) goes for a wild attacking idea while in deep time trouble. His opponent (Hendrik Kamstra) goes wrong in the complications, which isn't surprising given the difficulty of the game.

Read all about it there.
