The Raw Meat Gambit

IM Trevor Tao sent me a link to the following game. Apparently after being totally smashed in the game, GM Bisguier asked "What do they feed this guy on, raw meat?". As the name "Kitchen Sink Attack" has already been taken, Trevor Tao's suggestion of "The Raw Meat Gambit" seems to be a sensible alternative.

    John Littlewood, an old friend from Sheffield and Skelmersdale, has sadly passed away now. He and his brothers were well-known attacking players. John was also a good chess teacher!

    That game was featured in The Australian last Thursday. Along with the 'Raw Meat' comments...

    @Shane: Trevor did alert me to where he first saw the game, but as a non-reader of the Murdoch press, I didn't see the story myself.
