TK Chess | St. Marys 2 of 3: English Attack?!

Round 2 featured a suspicious version of the English Attack versus the Taimanov Sicilian (Ke2). It was an interesting game for a while but eventually the center was opened up and the position collapsed for John's 1500 opponent.
There was a bit of technical play added to this lopsided matchup when John decided to purposefully drop his rook in the endgame (xtra R+B+N) to showcase his ability to checkmate the king with the knight and bishop. There is one round to go and John will be facing his highest rated opponent (1586) before we he out to dinner.
