    NM Prosanto Sarkar (2283) -- IM Deen Hergott (2507), Kingston Open 1997 (4), played 1997-02-09, time controls 30/90', SD/60', English, A13, TD/Organizer Larry Bevand, Assistant Frank Dixon.

    GM Oleg Romanishin (born 1952) is a Ukrainian and former Soviet GM. He is a distinguished member of one of the most extraordinarily talented generations in the history of chess, with members born in near years such as GM Karpov, GM Timman, GM Hubner, GM Vaganian, GM Andersson, GM Ribli, GM Adorjan, GM Sax, GM Beljavsky, GM Mecking, GM Ljubojevic, GM Keene, GM Miles, GM Rogoff, GM Biyiasas, IM Day, and so forth. He was a Candidate in 1977, and played for USSR in the 1978 Olympiad; after 1991 for Ukraine.
    And GM Romanishin is especially known for his opening innovations. This game shows one of them, the Romanishin Gambit in the English, with 4...b5.
    In the game, White declines the gambit, and seems content with quiet maneuvering, as Black gradually expands on the queenside, and starts pressuring White's key points. At the end, White is virtually helpless; a perfect illustration of the line's values. Great game by Black!!
