| Jan-14-07 | | bakuazer: I got the first 2 moves, but could not continue. This game is unbelievable! |
 |
| Jan-14-07 | | ALEXIN: Thanks to chessgames for editing that great game. |

 | | dzechiel: Found moves 25, 26 & 31. Wish I had found 'em all. The epaulet mate at the end is very pretty. |
|

 | | kevin86: A very exciting game with sacs and a great mate-an unorthodox form of epaulette mate. Here,the defending king is flanked by two knights instead of two rooks! |

 | | chessgames.com: <Premium Members> For a special treat today, why not review the GOTD Guess-the-Move style? Guess-the-Move: Hoi vs Gulko, 1988
From now on, we'll be making an effort to preload the GOTD into Guess-the-Move format for people who want to use it as an alternative to the normal java viewers. |

| Apr-21-07 | | Sularus: Hoi Ploy = hoi polloi, the masses.. |
|
| Apr-21-07 | | Themofro: A stunningily beautiful mating attack to culminate a brilliant game by Hoi. |

| | kevin86: A brilliant attack! A nice way to finish: a queen sac into an epaulette mate! |
|
| Apr-22-07 | | ChessStar99: I don't understand why Black can't use knight to take queen. I know I'm not seeing something, can any of you guys point it out to me? |

 | | keypusher: 21...Nxh7 22. Rg6 is checkmate -- an epaulette mate as an earlier kibitzer put it. Beautiful, not the sort of thing you expect to find in a real game! |
|
| May-23-07 | | jmrulez2004: next time when you make a mate as beautiful and sexy as thisd...say this" I pulled a Hoi!":D |
|
| Jun-29-08 | | Jim Bartle: Seirawan jokingly blamed his draw on the adjacent board because he tried to guess Hoi's moves more than his opponent's... |
|
| Jul-06-08 | | cyruslaihy: i suspect the attack is entirely speculative, even i would choose to attack if my K side is shattered like that. white just gotta attack and finish the game before he goes into an inferior endgame. anyway, the mate is nice, and i don't see why everything should be flawless in over the board play. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | arsen387: what an incredible mating attack! Rxg7, Bxh6, Nxd6 and Qh7 are really moves from puzzles. Hoi must be proud for such an outstanding game. I think it reqiured strong nerves to play Bxh6, as the black K can't be allowed to e7 where it looks pretty safe. |
|
| Nov-27-08 | | ppeti84: WOW...what a game!! |
|
| Dec-11-08 | | Poisonpawns: This game was given the "Best Combination " Prize in the 1988 Chess Olympiad. |

 | | dcazden: Wow...managed to score 64 on guess the move, but I play qp openings. I didn't see the epaulet mate and missed Nd6 even though I was looking at it on a previous move. Beautiful attacking game. |

 | | sevenseaman: Excellent Q gambit. It locks all doors. |
|
| Aug-29-10 | | nvrennvren: this is completely a trap.. |
|
| Aug-04-11 | | 50movesaheadofyou: I love the maneuverings that lead to the attack. <21.h4!> to open the file. it's how ya do it son. |

 | | Fusilli: What a stunning attack. |
|

 | | Shams: <Fusilli> Yes, an amazing game. A la Morphy at the Opera House, the queen is the final piece sacrificed to achieve a mate with rook and bishop only left on the board. |
|
| Dec-14-12 | | SimonWebbsTiger: @<fusilli> and <shams> we have a little joke in Denmark that Carsten has been dining out on that one ever since! But why not? Gulko is, as many might recall, a man who had Kasparov's number around that time (similar to Korchnoi with Tal and Geller with Fischer), a phenomenally strong Soviet GM and champ before leaving for the USA. Carsten is also a past master of these Queen Pawn Openings. He has won countless attacking games in Danish championships and League chess. |

| | Shams: <SimonWebbsTiger> <a phenomenally strong Soviet GM and champ before leaving for the USA.> Whereupon Gulko also won the US Championship-- the only player to win both. Between that and his plus score against Kasparov, Gulko's c.v. is impressive indeed, so he makes a great trophy for Høi's wall. |
