This position is from week 4 of the 2008 USCL season. It's IM Lev Milman of Carolina as White, and GM Alex Shabalov of New York as Black. Milman won beautifully with 1.h4!, at which point Shabalov resigned. Why? 1...gxh4 (forced) 2.g5+ Kh5 3.Kf5! Rf2+ (forced) 4.Bf4 and Rh7 mate is unavoidable. Thanks to USCL founder Greg Shahade for presenting this game at www.chessvideos.tv.
