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.


Had he moved his e- or g-pawn by then? If not, no touch-move penalty
could be enforced. A player cannot be made to move a piece that has no
legal move.

He then said that he wanted me to give
him the move back. When I would not agree, he resigned.


You caught a lucky break, Sam. Will you never tire of playing
unsound gambits? First it was the Damiano, now we see you with a
particulary bad line (6...Bb4?) of the Englund. Looks to me like after
8.Nd5! you're busted here.
