A New ChessVideos Show: Reeling in the Big Fish

   It's not the best game of my life, but my ChessVideos show this week
   covers one of most picturesque games of my life, against my
   highest-rated tournament victim. This win, as those who have known me
   for some time probably know, was against GM and erstwhile Candidate
   Leonid Yudasin from the New York Masters in 2002. We both misplayed
   the opening somewhat, but at one point in the early middlegame I
   committed a felix culpa, sacrificing a piece for two wonderful central
   pawns. To say that this sac worked out would be an understatement, but
   I missed and Yudasin rejected a finesse that would have put my idea
   out of business. As things turned out, my central pawn mass turned
   into a mighty pawn phalanx - just how mighty you'll need to see for
   yourself! Pop some popcorn, sit back, [1]click here and enjoy.
