Denker Plays for the Attack (doesn't he always)

Arnold Denker was inducted into the U.S. Chess Hall of fame in 1992 after career of chess play, book authorship, and organization. In this game, he upsets Reuben Fine for the 1944 U.S. Championship in a powerful sacrificial attack against the Nimzo-Indian. Back then the Nimzo-Indian was a new opening line, yet to be tested in battle. This game earned Denker the first brillancy prize of the tournament as well. Enjoy!
