Star  Is it more honorable to win a game of chess without losing many pieces?

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

Nice story, and no it's not dishonorable, it's strategy
