Let me tell you about a chess game that was played once.

On move 17, the white player lost a knight for a pawn. On move 20, he lost a bishop for a pawn. On move 25, he lost a rook for a bishop. On move 26, he lost a full bishop. On move 28, he lost a full knight. On move 30, he lost a full rook. On move 41, he lost a queen for a rook.

In fact, the white player in question lost all his pieces. What a dishonorable loss, you might say.

Yet he didn’t lose. He won. Even better, his opponent was a grandmaster.

I’m talking about the legendary game Grigory Yuryevich Serper vs Ioannis Nikolaidis (1993), in which Grigory Serper sacrificed all his pieces and still won
