Actually, I have been very nice to Mr. Koepcke by never publishing the
game and I can no longer find the scoresheet. However, the game
started like this. I was Black:

1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Bf4 Qb4+ 5. Bd2 Qxb2 6. Nc3 Bb4 7.
Rb1 Qa3

A few moves later, I played Bxc3 and he played B on f1 captures B on
c3 which of course is illegal. He then said that he wanted me to give
him the move back. When I would not agree, he resigned.

Compare Bronstein's response to Dus Chotimirsky, if you want to see
how a sportsman behaves.

Ha! Mr. Koepcke did not give SS back his first-move
blunder, and what's sauce for the goose, is sauce for
the gander.


You know, everyone makes fun of the Englund Gambit, but I think most
of the people who ridicule it would have a tougher time beating it
than they think. I've used it three times in USCF tournament games and
scored two wins and a draw, all against opponents rated above me. It
may not be playable at the grandmaster level, but for us class
players, it's a good way to get into an open, tactical dogfight.
