- This is from a recent quick chess
- tournament game between Marty
- "Martha" Olsen-Mills and myself.
- The 900 rating point different is a
- bit unfair, so I don't want to pick
- on Marty in any way, but the finish
- to this game is somewhat cute.
- This position, which I keep running
- into, can arise out of either the
- Caro-Kann or the Vienna Gambit.

- disagreement about taking with the
- queen.
- He asserts that I have a stronger
- attack if I take with the bishop.
- Our OTB analysis seems to confirm
- this, although I woudl still be happy
- to trade queens in this position.

- I had missed the fact that he queen

- Instead taking the knight allows

- I wonder if I had a better move?
