Feb-05-06		Autoreparaturwerkbau: Most unusual back-rank mate (to follow).

Feb-06-06		Gregor Samsa Mendel: Which means that 29 Rd2 was a massive blunder.

Feb-07-06		morpstau: 29. Rd2??? has to be one of the worst blunders by a master, what an oversight.

Feb-07-06		ketchuplover: He's my idol :)

Sep-11-09		jerseybob: I wouldn't be too hard on 29.Rd2. Of course it's a blunder, but white's game is just barely holding together, with weak pawns, an endangered king and an inviting black-square superhighway for black's king to invade during an ending. Fischer would've eventually found a win.

Sep-11-09		AnalyzeThis: Yes, I agree. The other day, we were look at a game where Hans Ree lost to Petrosian in less than 10 moves.

Mar-03-12		screwdriver: I agree, what a most unusual back rank mate.

Mar-04-12		King Death: Even after the better move 29.g3 Qb4 White's queenside's under a lot of pressure and he probably saw this. Blunders can come in these circumstances with the clock ticking and no engine there to steer somebody away.
