USCL Game of the Year #19: Friedel-Milman
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1200126570.shtml


   The [1]U.S. Chess League's 2007 season is over (appropriately enough,
   since it's 2008), but the countdown to its Game of the Year has barely
   begun. [2]Last week they released the identity of the 20th place
   winning game (Bonin-Shmelov), and last night it was the turn of #19.
   That game was a battle between Josh Friedel and Lev Milman, a Marshall
   Gambit where Black played a little better than White, but a draw was
   the seemingly inevitable result before Friedel first imbalanced the
   position and then blundered in a drawn rook ending.
   You can see the game and read the judges' comments [3]here, and if you
   check back in a day or two you can watch my video presentation of the
   game on ChessVideos.tv.
