Kavalek remembers Evans

Mark Taimanov-Larry Evans

USSR-USA match, New York 1955

Black to play

Taimanov has just sacrificed material with 19.Rxc7.  If Black plays the natural 19...Qxc7, White plays the powerful 20.d6.  What to do?

Kavalek annotates this beautiful win by Evans.

Last call for pre-registration!

Save money: register for the State Championship before 6 p.m.!

You can even listen to more of Taimanov and Bruk while you register  (You can skip the first track if you've already heard the previous post.).

Our own NM Trevor Magness (who's preregistered!) plays Chopin, too.  (Start at about 1:50 if you don't have time to hear the whole thing..)

Music to prepare openings by...
