    NM Miladin Djerkovic (2333) -- NM Jacques Cote (2235), Kingston Open 1996 (4). Played 1996-02-11. Spanish, Schliemann, C63. Time controls 30/90', SD/60'. Organizer / TD Larry Bevand, assistant Frank Dixon.

    Both NMs are from the Ottawa region. Black is a specialist in this sharp line, which is frowned upon by many, but often successful in practice. Unfortunately for him, the queens are exchanged early, cutting down on complicating possibilities. Interestingly, White also plays the Spanish as Black, and against me in the Kingston Open a few years later, ventured the Siesta Variation, which also features an early ...f7-f5! He won that game, so is evidently comfortable in these positions. White gradually asserts control over the kingside, supresses Black's active possibilities, and displays excellent technique to bring home the point. A very instructive game!
