Black to playWadsworth - Mason, Hinckley Island, 10.01.2015 Black to play and do a ... Rxf3-in-the-French Theoretical ISE. I discovered 11 different versions of this exchange sacrifice when writing Collector’s Item last March. The chesser playing Black is about to find a 12th. Mason, by the way, is only rated 2138/199 ECF. He was 200+ for the previous several years, admittedly, and he’s obviously better than nearly everybody, but that rating does not make him super-duper out of this world, strong. At various times last year (e.g. BORP XXIX), I wondered whether ISEs were simply beyond average club chessers. Mason is a top of the range club player, to be sure, but one of us nonetheless. His play here would suggest perhaps I was being a bit of a jessie about it and should just knuckle down and try harder. TISE Index Thanks to JackHat tip to Danny Baker for the title.
