The Battle of the Bay of Bengal

On a flight to Trichy, I was delighted to find a Chess mate in my boss, Mr Georges. He was from Belgian and it was our first work trip together. He said he used to be active in chess clubs before getting busy with his business and work in Singapore. So after some delightful Belgian Dark Chocolate biscuits, we got down to a game on his Samsung Tab which we played and passed between us. I took up his offer to play as white and opted to start with a very ancient relic of the King's Gambit game. What panned out was one of the most exciting KGA game ever, personally. And that battle unfolded over four hours over the Bay of Bengal... the opening stage of the game was full of predicament and sharp plays. The middle game was poetic with déjà vus of opposite and equal tactics while being full of traps to avoid. The endgame was impending and unpromising of any excitement. And it was a thin stroke of luck with which White edges out over his sturdy opponent in the closing moments of the game.
