Re-Engineering the Chess Classics: The Italian Fury! Mariotti-Kortchnoi Rome 1982 1-0 is the second video of the new series by GM Matthew Sadler. To celebrate the publication of his new book (written together with his childhood coach Steve Giddins) GM Sadler is examining a series of classic games – just as he did in the book – using the creative engine analysis techniques described in “The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement”
Italian player Sergio Mariotti, Italy’s first grandmaster whose love of gambits and attacking play earned him the nickname (given by the British Chess Magazine apparently!) of “The Italian Fury”!
This game is one of Mariotti’s most famous victories, sweeping aside the great Viktor Kortchnoi – at the peak of his powers – with some non-standard opening and middlegame and a powerful final attack!
