WANTED

I'm looking for the game
Gdanski - Arkell,
EUR Clubs Cup, Neum 2000.

After move 33 Arkell faced many problems.
But he found ... 33..g5 !!

J. Rowson in his brandnew book
"Chess for Zebras" (2005; page 158):
"...one of the most extraordinary moves I have ever seen".

(42920) Gdanski - Arkell
European Team Championship, 2000


About this position, Plaskett says, (+) Black, a pawn down, is struggling
here. How can he activate his position before White can organize the advance
of his queenside pawns? [+] Looking at the position, it seems obvious that
Black must play 1/\c5, but after 2.Nxc5 Bxc5 3.Qxc5 Qd1+, Black has nothing
to show for his two-pawn deficit. However, Black found a fantastic way of
increasing the effectiveness of the c5 break, by first playing 33...g5!!
34.hxg5 c5 35.Nxc5 [Actual game: 35.Kg2 cxb4 36.axb4 Qa2 37.Bc1 Bxb4 38.Qc8+
Kg7 39.Nd4 Nc3 40.Nxe6+ fxe6 41.Qd7+ Kh8 42.Qe8+= This is a truly inventive
and instructive idea. ] 35...Bxc5 36.Qxc5 Qd1+ 37.Kh2 Qh5+ 38.Kg2 Nf4+!
39.gxf4 Qg4+= Black has perpetual check. *

http://www.chesscafe.com//text/review330.pdf is a review of Plaskett's
book Could You Be A Tactical Genius? This review has an excerpt from
the book that contains the position in question.
