Dec-26-04  Whitehat1963: Extremely well played from the player of the day. 29. dxc6 is well calculated to lethal effect.
Jan-27-05  Saruman: <Whitehat1963> True, but maybe the real combination begins after 28.exd5. Of course ot 33.-fxg6? because of 34.Rg7+ Kh8 35.Rb7+ ( ).

  OneArmedScissor: This game needs more publicity!!!
May-03-05  knightspot: 27 ... d5 gave away a pawn, but 28 ... Bf5 seems to have given away the whole farm. Wasn't 28 ... Rb6 a viable option, or was Black to greedy to keep the attack trained on the c2 square?
May-03-05  BeautyInChess: c7 shocking and good.

  Shams: <knightspot> 28...Rb6 29.d5 . black is already down a piece, I think ...Bf5 was pure desperation. Oll's play is very impressive here. I guess in hindsight black looks lost after 20...e5 but for the life of me I can't suggest anything else.
May-04-05  knightspot: okay shams, you go back and back and back trying to find where it started, and you find Oll was just plain better. got it.

  Sneaky: You gotta love Oll. When it comes to attacking, Lembit Oll said "Dammit All!"
Jul-11-05  aw1988: <Sneaky> I thought it was Dembit not Dammit.
Sep-23-05  Granite: WOW - that is all.
Sep-01-06  Heathen Tory: Oll he had to do was Lembit have it. Sorry I have bit of a cold at present.

  OneArmedScissor: Is there any analysis on this game?
Jun-24-09  erwinkru71939: Well played.On the move 29th he quit a Queen by two Roocks and two pawns and better position to attack the black King. It was well calculated.
Aug-07-09  WhiteRook48: this game is great!

Jun-16-12  piltdown man: The player of the Black pieces was a grandmaster? You'd never know it, he played like I do. (Badly!)

  sevenseaman: What a master class! GOTD is late enough, how about POTD? Umpteen places for a choice but <40. c7> will be tough to beat.
Jun-16-12  rilkefan: Stockfish thinks ...Nxd3 was necessary on move 17 or earlier. 15...Ne8 (or 15...h6 with 16...Nh7 [unless 16.g5] or ...d5 or ...Nxd3) was a rather better chance, though with accurate if obvious play white retains a half-pawn advantage (25 plies). It reckons black is about equal after 14...Qc7 or 14...Be8 (with white needing to find good moves) but chooses (26 plies, 1 Gnode) 14...Nxd3 15.Qxd3 b4 16.Nce2 Qc7 17.Rc1 Qb7 18.Ng3 d5 with a very small edge (-0.2, now actually with 15.cxd3, which I had suggested out of curiosity).

  Tiggler: Great game by W. His knight was hanging on d4 for six moves after 20... e5 before he played 26. Nf3! That same knight later torments the B king and plays the winning discovered check on move 39.

Azmaiparasvili was rated 2703 in July 2003, curently 2637 and ranked 132 in the world at age 52. So what is your FIDE rating piltdown? Or are you a fake like your namesake?

  hedgeh0g: What a beautiful game.

The fact it was played against such an a****** makes it all the more satisfying.
