Jan-15-06		wwall: Perhaps better is 32...dxe4 33.d5+ e5 34.Rxd6 cxd6 35.Qb4 Bc5 36.Qxe4 Rg7. After 34.Qe3, White threatens 35.Qe5+ Rg7 36.Rxh6+ Kg8 37.Nxe6, winning. 35...Rxg6? 36.Nxg6+ Bxg6 37.hxg6 Rg7 38.Qxh6+ Kg8 39.Rh1 wins. If 36...Bxg6, then 37.Nxg6+ Rxg6 38.hxg6 wins. After 43...Rxe1 (not 43...Rxh5 44.Re7+) 44.Kxe1 b5 45.cxb6 axb6 46.Rb4 b5 47.a4 should win for White.

Feb-12-08		nmchessknight: excellent play by Adams

Feb-12-08		kackhander: as i slowly improve i appreciate adams' style more and more: no thundering tactical shots, just steady improvement and building of pressure and complications. this game seems to encapsulate his style pretty well.

Apr-27-08		ray keene: this game is suspicious-michael adams wd have been just nine years old in 1981-i think this game was by jimmy adams the well known chess writer and editor-who works for chess monthly magazine-needs checking anyway!!

May-16-08		LutherBlisset: I have checked with Jimmy Adams, the editor of Chess magazine in the UK. It was played by him. Not Michael Adams. It is a very good game.

Aug-20-10		inman: It's interesting that the two Adams (definitely not related) have such similar styles. Interesting, too, that after two years the database has not been corrected...

Oct-08-12		vikram2791: Why Black resigns: 43...Re8 is the best move.But White can play 44.Rg4+! Bxg4 45.Rxe8 Bxh5 46. Re7+ Kg8 47. Rxb7 a5. White is up on material and is way better. Look at the diagram: click for larger view
