GM Grzegorz Gajewski

Grzegorz Gajewski (born 1985 in Skierniewice) is a Polish chess player holding the title of Grandmaster (2006). He was a member of the Polish team at the 38th Chess Olympiad in Dresden where he played on the fourth board scoring 6.5 points out of 10 games. Gajewski is probably most known in the chess world by the gambit type move 10...d5!? in the Ruy Lopez opening which he introduced in July 2007 during a tournament in Pardubice. In 2011 he won the Cappelle-la-Grande Open.

In the above middlegame puzzle of Smith–Morra Gambit patterns, it is Black to move and win brutally. The winning move is Qg5+ which is very difficult to find and which limited Houdini give a score of -7.15 but GM Gajewski overlooked it. We could have been also. Hope you have improved your ideas of the game and games of chess.
