Game Norbert Krueger - Keith Arkell (Caro-Kann defense) and attacking f7
The renowned Chess Festival in Guernsey is celebrating its 48th edition. During the second round match between Norbert Krueger and Keith Arkell, the latter employed the Caro-Kann Defense. The game evolved to a position where White opted for a knight sacrifice on f7, which Black captured with another knight. Following 15.Qh5, Black played Nge7, gaining a significant advantage. An intriguing alternative would have been for White to continue the sacrificial strategy by playing Wxf7 instead of 15.Qh5, and after Kxf7, playing 16.Qh5. Although Black would maintain an advantage, White's position would be fraught with threats, leaving it uncertain whether Keith Arkell could calculate all the possibilities. Game:
