crumbled in the middlegame. *I have yet to
see GM Dzindzi make much of his odds in
the opening, and half the time his extra pawn
gets doubled or becomes useless, due to his
own clumsy play or to wild King assaults in
which the pawn-count is rendered moot.
Bear in mind that Dzindzi is 63 years old.
Even now I would bet serious money that he would mop the floor with
you giving you 5-1 blitz odds. In his prime he used to be able to do
that with IMs, spotting them several cognacs to boot. Ask anyone who
saw him play in NYC in the 80s.
