Zilbermintz Wins with PCG

Lev Zilbermintz thinks he has found a way to defeat WGM Martha Fierro. Regarding the following game, he writes, "I dragged her into the Philidor Counter Gambit. This forced her to play against gambits, in an open position, which is Fierro's weak spot."

A year ago, Zilbermintz beat the same opponent with the PCG in a game/30 simultaneous.

Here the time control was four minutes for White and five minutes for Black.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 f5 4.Nc3 fxe4 5.Nxe4 d5 6.Ng3 e4 7.Ne5 Nf6 8.Bg5 Be7

Morphy preferred 8...Bd6 in his celebrated game against Bird.

White already stands worse because of the isolated e-pawn. Her next move further weakens her pawn structure.

Now, if 28.Kg1, Black wins by 28...d4 followed by 29...Bc4.

28.Ng3 h5 29.Qe7 h4 30.Qxe6 hxg3+, White resigns.
