Probably the wildest game I’ve ever played. It was at the Zagreb Cup against a higher rated opponent.

I was forced to defend against a mad attack I’ve allowed by completely missevaluating a pawn sacrifice. Instead of giving me the initiative, it gave it to my opponent and I was soon is trouble.

My opponent initiated a relentless attack, brought all his pieces close to my king, and I was a move away from resigning. But, in chess, it’s never over untill it’s over! Never resign.
