Yasser Seirawan BOOK 1

Can anyone help with this one please? I no longer have my book "Play winning chess" which is book 1 by yasser Seirawin but in the first few pages there is a run-through of a brilliant game involving 2 or maybe 3 sacrifices. Does anyone know this game? I would love to go over it again. If you have the book or know the game I am referring to I would be very grateful. Many thanks. rb

The first complete game in the book is given on page 33 and is as follows:

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Bd3 c4 6. Bc2 Nge7 7. Nh3 b6 8. O-O Bd7 9. b4 cxb3 e.p. 10. axb3 Rc8 11. Qh5 a6 12. Ng5 g6 13. Nxh7 gxh5 14. Nf6#

Hi Minttunator, Thanks very much for your reply. I enjoyed playing through that game. However it's not the one I'm looking for. I later realised that the game I saw was in the 1st edition of "Play winning chess" and is not in the later editions. It involves a queen, bishop and rook sacrifice in order to block the black queen back up against the king, if my memory is right. Thanks again for the reply

I have the first edition (by Microsoft Press?). I'll post the game when I get home.

You are a star. I think it's during the introduction to the book. royo.

Sorry, but the first full game in my book is the same one as above. Published in 1995 by Microsoft Press.

O.K. Thanks for trying. I had this book in the early 80's.

On the other hand, GM Seirawan is a member on this site - let's hope he notices this topic someday. :D
