Guess the most famous game in Canadian chess history.
On Monday March 21 at 7:00 pm, chess historian David Cohen is delivering a lecture entitled “The Most Famous Game in Canadian Chess History.”
Can you guess which game it is? Please leave your comments below.
In case you missed it, or you want to look over the game again, here is David’s lecture.
Can I have a clue (or two): was it played in Canada? between two Canadian players?

No clues! I’m curious to find out people’s guesses. Your picks will give me ideas for future lectures (if members are interested).
David :-)
OK. If it doesn’t have to be in Canada or between Canadians, how about Abe Yanofsky’s win over Mikhail Botvinnik in Groningen, 1946?
That was also Brian Fiedler’s first guess!
Fully agree with Abe Yanofsky. Apparently his rook sacrifice against Peruvian
Alberto Dulanto at age 14 is considered extremely noteworthy too. But beating
a World Champ is pretty cool. Also props to Mark beating Topalov, if famous in
the modern era counts.
Alberto it is. David, was this at 14 or 11? Very impressive regardless.
I can’t think of an individual Suttles game. Spraggett won a pretty big game in the Candidates matches.
