Default Re: Great Chess Game of the Week: Atalik v Miles, 1993

White makes some pretty serious mistakes in this game, right? I know it's okay to be a fair bit behind in development in a closed position, but white is way behind and then compounds this problem by helping black open the center while his king is still stuck there ... I like 9. 0-0-0 better than Rd1 (althought they're both playable), but that's just the earliest deviation that would have saved white a whole game's worth of misery.
