| dakgootje: Not one of Nunn's best games... |
 |

| prinsallan: 28... Bd4+
Love the way the board looks with 3 solid diagonal attackers next to eachother. This is Chess at its most beautiful. |
|

| lentil: most strange to me is that Nunn plays the Pirc regularly and even (I believe) wrote a book on it. looks to me like 8. ...Nh5!! stunned him. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Andras Adorjan wrote three "Black is OK!" sequels, titled "Black is OK!", "Black is Still OK!" and "Black is OK Forever!". A beautiful game by the way! |

| Autoreparaturwerkbau: I've seen that pun in many games, like here L Spassov vs Adorjan, 1977. |
|
| Jan-03-06 |
| alicefujimori: Adorjan has shown in many of his ideas that "Black is OK". One of them is the b6 idea against the Be3-Qd2 line of the Grunfeld. |

| steamengine1: I don't understand what happens after white moves his king to 31. d1. Does black play 31. ...Qe2+ 32. Kc1
If so, what happens then? |
|

| Everett: Perhaps white should have followed Bronstein's model. Bronstein vs Palmito, 1958 |
|
| Jan-03-06 |
| alicefujimori: <steamengine1> 31...Qe2+ 32.Kc1 Be3+ 33.Kb2 Qb5+ 34.Ka3 (34.Kc3 Rc8 and mates) 34...Bc5+ and mate follows. |

| WannaBe: <johnwgoes: What is the significance of "Black is OK"?> Also, look at the quote of today, by Adorjan, "The overwhelming majority of chess players try to build up a serious repertoire as White, and aim for safety as black. They do not really want to win with the black pieces, or can not imagine how it is possible" |

| kevin86: The white queen rook is in the corner-the king rook is on the open file-attacking nothing!! Mate is coming very soon;said rooks are a great helper to BLACK. |

| chessic eric: It doesn't seem to me that white went wrong until 14.Nxg5, as <al wazir> points out. The simple 14.Bg3 looks better, capitalizing on the dubious 12...,Nxf4 and banking on the queenside majority in the ending. No doubt Nunn wanted to find a more energetic/brilliant refutation of that questionable sac, and his opening of the game played into the hands of black's set-up with very active bishops at b7 and g7. |

| sfm: <The simple 14.Bg3 looks better> But what to play on the obvious 14.-,f5 ? Is white better off than in the game cont.? |

| OhioChessFan: Nunn's whole game looked like an old computer program that was material obsessed. |
|
| Jan-03-06 |
| jackmandoo: Well Ohio material is very important in chess. I know that in my games whenever I have a lot more material than my opponett (which I always do because I have been dubbed as having "Morphy like abilities") I usually in. So material is important, and so is your position. I've been playing for a while now so I would be happy to anser any chess questions any of you have. |
|

| Jim Bartle: Black's got a pretty intimidating position at move 28, with queen and two bishops and c4-d4-e4. I guess that's what analysts mean when they talk about dominating diagonals. |
|

| like a GM: < whenever I have a lot more material than my opponett (which I always do because I have been dubbed as having "Morphy like abilities")> Impressed. What is your rating (blitz, rapid or classical)? |
|

|
| WannaBe: <like a GM> Unfortunately, <jackmandoo> didn't say, it was Alonzo Morphy |
|
| Jan-04-06 |
| Jim Bartle: Jackmandoo: Actually I thought Morphy's (that's Paul, not Alonzo) trademark is that he DIDN'T usually depend on material superiority, often tossing piece after piece into the fire to get at the enemy king. |

| chessic eric: <sfm> one option after 14...f5 is much like the game continuation but without the f6 pawn supporting the d5 square.
14...f5 allows 15.Nxg5 and white would love to trade the h1 rook for the b7 bishop. Play could go 14...f5 15.Nxg5,fxg4+ 16.Ke2 and things don't look pretty but the dynamic advantages black had been playing for are somewhat fizzled, and white sits better than in the game. All of this is of course due to 12.Kf2, after which the f-file is begging to be opened to take advantage of the double pin on the f3 knight.
After 12.Rf1 black gets no dynamic play for the sac on f4 (and should not make it) and is facing the opening of lines on the kingside in an opposite castled position; 12...Ng3 13.Rf2,f5 14.O-O-O,Rc1 |

| jackmandoo: Well I don't have a "rating" I just rely on the comments of the people I beat, and they ALL say I am really good. I have beaten all of the people who I know who play chess, plus lots of kids at school. |

|
| Jan-04-06 |
| jackmandoo: No I dont believe in playing rated players. |
|
| Jan-05-06 |
| Jim Bartle: Convenient. |

| ganstaman: If I have to play like this just to be ok, I think I will have to leave the Pirc permanently off my plate. |
