The last round encounter between Dennis Dawley and Eric Mark was destined to be a short and brutal affair when Eric played the Englund gambit. This gambit should not be confused with the Budapest gambit which Nigel Short used in his candidate match against Karpov. In this line of the Englund Gambit Black neglects central play as well as piece development to go into full attack mode. The Black Queen's expedition reminded me of a game I posted here. Dennis defended calmly, sacrificed the exchange and reeled in the full point for a share of 1st place in the April Swiss.
