Karloff-Parsons
Hawkeye Mind Challenge, 2006
Annotator: Parsons, M.
Description: “When your nickname is the ‘King of the Unsound Sac,’ you have to live up to the name, and have the reputation to back it up. For example, after viewing my game with Becky Huang at the Okie Chess Festival, Sergey Galant said to me “You never are up material are you?” My reputation clearly was growing, but heck… 2/3 sacks in that game were sound… Today I present you with my last round game from the Hawkeye Mind Challenge, named so because if you looked at my games you would think it was a tournament for the mentally challenged. Let’s see if my reputation holds up… ”
Hughes-Karagianis
Mid-American 2005
