Caveman Chess

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Caveman Chess is "Chess without finesse."

FIDE Master Kevin L. Bachler was nicknamed "Caveman" in 1981 when National Master Albert Chow described his play as "stone age chess", and said "You play like a caveman."  Certainly, many of Kevin's games illustrate a creative flair of tactical chess.  Since that nickname in 1981 the phrase "caveman chess" has nearly become a standard chess term, describing an attacking style.
