| shr0pshire: Very interesting game. What a beautiful game too. This was during a time though when the there was some wild queent's gambit games played. Here Gelfand is involved in another epic queen's gambit game.

| notyetagm: Yes, I just found this game in Nunn's 101 Brilliant Chess Miniatures. Stupendous game by Beliavsky. |

| notyetagm: If you liked Beliavsky's play in this game, be sure to check out Seirawan vs Beliavsky, 1988, where he wipes out another strong GM with a kingside attack in only 21 moves. And this time Beliavsky had the Black pieces! |

| think: What is the finish? Would it go something like 24. ... hxg6 25. Qd4, threatening mate at g7 and h4? |

| tpstar: <think> Right, and if 25 ... Nf6 26. Qxf6! is decisive (26 ... gxf6 27. Bxf6#; 26 ... Qxe7 27. Qxg6). |

| goldenbear: Why would a strong GM play like this (look at the position after 16 moves)? There is an infinity of ways white might win. Black has a bad queen in addition to being effectively two pieces down. Did Gelfand think Beliavsky was born the day before? |

| computer chess guy: Beliavsky might have cooked up this line at home, but if not, I'm very impressed. I'm adding this to the "too hard for computers" collection, because it's hard to find an engine that will play axb4 within a reasonable time. |

| goldenbear: <computer chess guy> Really? axb4 is a move that i would make instantly without calculating anything. I think I am as strong as anybody in the world (maybe a slight exaggeration, but only slight) in this kind of position. Now if only I could hold a dead-drawn king and pawn ending. |
