| wwall: Instead of 19...Nxf1+, perhaps best for Black is 19...fxe6 20.Bxe6+ Rf7 21.Rxf7 (21.Bxf7 Kf8) 21...Ng4+ 22.Kh1 (not 22.hxg4?? Qh4 mate; 22.Bxg4 Kxf7) 22...Nxe5 23.Rd7+ Kh8 24.Rxd8 Rxd8 and perhaps Black can draw this game with opposite colored Bishops. |

| Calli: <wwall> I think 19.Qxe6 fxe6 20.Bxe6+ Rf7 21.Bxf7+ Kf8 22.Bxg6+ Nxf1+ 23.Rxf1+ Kg8 24.Bf7+ Kf8 25.Ne4! wins |

| luzhin: At first I thought Black could try to grovel out with 20...Qe7 to get into a queenless middle game with R for B+N, but then I saw 21.Nf5!!.However Black captures the White Q , White's next move will be Nh6 mate. And if 21..gxf5 then 22.Qxf5 with a mating attack. |

| Deefstes: What an awesome mating net! This is edge of the seat stuff. |
|

 |
| RandomVisitor: 18...b5 followed by 19...Bd6 was safest for Black.
23...Kg7 is mate in 8. |
|
| Sep-14-06 |
| Counterpoint: Why stuff around? White had mate on move 22.
22.Rxb7+ Kf8 (22...Qf7 23.RxQ) 23.Bg7# |
|

| spudhead: <counterpoint>23.Rxb7+ Qxe6. The rook has to defend the bishop. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Kaschau (where this game was played) is the German name for Košice, Slovakia's second biggest city with a population of 235,000. Nowadays its predominantly inhabited by ethnic Slovaks, but before the first World War the Hungarians were the majority there and until World War II Germans and Jews were significant minorities living in this city too. |

| Microbe: Wow! My jaw was dropped from 18.Qg4 onwards. Does anyone know how long he took to play that move? I particularly liked the discovered check on move thirty. Very cute. That was such an awesome game that I think I'm going to go have a look at more of this guy's games! |

| gchristopher: Whitehat1963, 23. Re7+ the taking the queen on the 24th is not good, it seems to me: 23. Re7+ Kf8 24. Rxe8+ Rxe8 and now I don't see how white will keep both bishops. |

| Kwesi: Did he see the possibility of this ending when he played 17.Kh2 ? |

| kevin86: Let's see:we have a win from the oddly opened-Alapin's Opening. A queen sac,and finally a cartoonlike king chase. Other than that,it was a very boring game-lol Alapin's Opening-let's see:you open up two lines with your first move and close them with the second. |

| kkkkimura: why not 23. Rf4? Doesn't it immediately take the queen with no loss? Much shorter and easier or did I miss something? |
|

 |
| technical draw: <kkkkimura> I think you're missing something. 23.Rf4 loses the bishop on e6. |

| poachedeggs: "19.Qxe6..., mate in 14." Wow...who among us would have the courage (and/or instincts) to make that trade? Not me. |

| lvlaple: Wonder if he called it. |
|
| Sep-14-06 |
| Ashram64: i doubt he could see the whole 15mate pattern..but each move is logically follow by another.. |
|

| hellstrafer: He has probably seen that the black king would be in a hopeless position after the queen sac. There is no way he could calculate the entire mate. |

| Maatalkko: What the heck does the pun mean? |
|

|
| technical draw: <Maatalkko> Something like "discovered check".. |
|
| Sep-14-06 |
| LivBlockade: White has a different and amusing way to force checkmate starting with 26.  e4+. Black moves are all forced and easy to calculate: 26... Kxh4; 27. g3+ Kh5; 28. g4+ Kh6 (if ...Kh4, then Bg3 mate); 29. g5+ Kh5; 30. Bg4+ Kh4; 31. Bg3 mate. What a finish! |

| WhiteRook48: and to think that white's rook is en prise the entire time |

| tommer: This game inspired a wonder in me. I was thinking that Charousek made that trap inviting black knight to go to e3 and fork the white queen, rook and bishop, maybe his strategy was to have the black knight away from the c4-f7 so his light squares bishop will be more dangerous? However, the trap was already set after white's 15th move when the dark squares bishop moved to e5, leaving e3 unprotected. Now, what if black goes 15... Ne3? I have a feeling Charousek had a plan about it, but I can't see it. Help anyone? |

| VishyAnandFan: after 22.Rxf7 i found the mate while searching for the right continuation to go to the endgame (the moves were forced, white had to protect his bishop), and i am only a weak amateur, therefore charousek must have found it right from the beginning of his queen sacrifice. of course the combination is ingenious and i would have never seen it. charousek playing mate in 15. this guy is amazing, he is so inspirational! |
