The earliest Szasz game in my database is from 1963 (the year I learned chess). I did not start playing until 1971, with my first tournament in 1972. Charles noted this game is not the best, but he is still playing. Charles sacrificed a rook and had a pretty mate.
I finished four How To Beat Intermediate Chess Players series.
