his B for three pawns in the vain hope of endgame glory is hardly a sound plan

attack by clearing the files for White's Rooks. Black appears oblivious to the
dangers of White's looming K-side onslaught. In a way...it is kind of poetic
justice , that Matt's rather arrogant taunt challenging his opponent to make
good on his attack quickly cost him the game!]} 18. fxg4 $4 Nxg4 19. Qg5 Qd7
