{Arnold Denker is an iconic figure in chess and has the high school tournament
of champions named after him. In this game, he makes a daring piece sacrifice
which is an interesting idea. The game is a thriller. After the game, Denker
tried to convince Harris that he was winning throughout and summoned Hans
Berliner to back his assertion. Well... before the days of chess engines,
white's attack loss menacing. Was Denker right?} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7
