What do you expect when an employer meets his employe? A nice friendly draw of course. So I was pleasantly surprise with this tactical slugfest:

Kosten,A (2507) - Prie,E (2526) [B13]
83rd ch-FRA National B Pau FRA (8), 19.08.2008
1.c4 c6 2.e4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Nf3 Bg4 7.cxd5 Nxd5 8.Qb3 Bxf3 9.gxf3 Nb6 10.Be3 e6 11.Rg1 g6 12.0-0-0 Be7 13.d5 exd5 14.Nxd5 Nxd5 15.Rxd5 Qc7 16.Qc3 0-0 17.Bh6 Bf6 18.Qxf6 Nd4+ 19.Kd2 Qc2+ 20.Ke3 Qc1+ 21.Ke4 Rfe8+ 22.Re5 Qe3+ 23.Kxe3 Rf8 24.Rd5 Rfe8+ 25.Re5 Rxe5+ 26.Qxe5 ½-½

Sac after sac, both sides missing mate in one .... Still the nagging idea pops up that there is something wrong with these moves. Maybe the two big guns can tell us the real story?
