Two moves by Geller. TWO MOVES BY GELLER In the articles around Geller's death (17 november) I saw two moves that, had they not escaped my attention, I would certainly have included, in high places, in my Most Fantastic Moves series.
The halloween gambit. A BREEZE IN THE SLEEPY 4-KNIGHT'S GAMEA Guided Tour of Chess - The Chess Cafe, March 2000In one of my very first games at ICC, in fact when it was still ICS, a certain Blokje played the following against me: Blokje - Platypussy, ICS 2 12 blitz, 1995: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 (See Diagram) 4.Nxe5 This irritated me.
I vaguely knew about this move - not as a real opening, but as some sort of a student's joke, something silly that might be played at the end of a long blitz-and-boozing session. Wasn't this the 'Irish Gambit', the one with the anecdote where they asked the inventor on his death bed how he had thought of it, and he had answered: 'I didn't see it was protected'? The typically Dutch dimunitive suggested Mr. Blokje was a compatriot - so what was this: Dutch bragging? Anyway, the game continued 4...Nxe5 5.d4 Nc6 6.d5 Ne5 7.f4 Ng6 8.e5 Ng8 9.Bd3 Bb4 10.O-O Bxc3 11.bxc3 d6 12.e6 fxe6 13.dxe6 Nf6 14.g4 O-O 15.g5 Ne8 16.f5 Ne5 17.Re1 Nxd3??
