Mike Serovey Defeats Mark Tork

Here is one of my games against Mark Tork. It was played a couple of years ago at Stan's Net Chess. I called this opening the Benoni Defense even though it started off as a Reti and transposed into a Pirc. The reason for that was mainly because of Black's setup and queenside attack. Black played a sacrifice that won material and White later played a sacrifice of his own that lost material.

Mike Serovey Loses to arrache playing the Benoni Defense

Here is one of my games played at ICC. I missed winning a passed pawn and then had to sacrifice my Knight to keep that pawn from queening. I made several minor errors after that that gave White small advantages and finally walked into a Knight fork on my King and remaining Bishop. It was at that point that I resigned.
