Byrne's game against Larsen in the 1973 interzonal is a good example of his style.
Byrne then traded his dark-squared bishop for one of Larsen's knights to force an infiltration of White's position with his queen, while also taking control of d5.

 The Kenilworthian: GM Robert Byrne Retires from NY Times
Under the title "A Farewell, After 34 Years, And a Memorable 1952 Game," GM Robert Byrne announced his retirement from his long-standing Sunday New York Times chess column in today's paper, where he also shared one of his more memorable games (against Bronstein at the 1952 Helsinki Olympiad).
One things is certain: GM Byrne's column, which had been very important (and twice-weekly) when he first began writing it had more recently become an afterthought for most chessplayers.
Byrne's column was conceived in the pre-internet age (even the pre-computer age!) and has not changed to keep up with the times.

They are a local group that I collaborated with on the live performances of a theater piece I did in the in the mid 80s with Robert Wilson called The Knee Plays.
Musically the inspiration came from New Orleans brass bands, like Dirty Dozen and Rebirth, but I somehow mysteriously managed to stiffen it up and skew the music towards my own jerky style.
