Not enough comp
This week's pair of games are by Sam Azzoug a forty-five-year-old Belgian who wrote:
I have chosen these 2 games because I had tried to play two new openings. In the first game the Two Knights defence and the second Pirc defence.
When the game has finished, I always analyse with Fritz and with my brain and try to find some moves I could forget it in the game.
We start with the rather agonising Two Knights, in which he failed ever to get real compensation for the theoretical early pawn sacrifice.
