The player on http://www.GothicChessLive.com known as M_TAL has always been
a very tough opponent. He is George Tsavadaris from Thessaloniki, Greece.
George is not only a 'regular chess' enthusiast, he is a strong
'anti-computer' player, in chess and Gothic Chess. Over the past 3
years, he has given me sample games where he has been able to defeat
Gothic Vortex. Today, though a bit rusty, he was finally overwhelemed by
Vortex. While I am sure he will be back strong, here is that game, played
at G/30 + 15:
