Dec-30-04		Whitehat1963: What's the finish?

Dec-30-04		aw1988: The finish is 16...Nf6, threatening Ne4, after Qc1 black then wins the queen via Nc3+! bxc3 Nd3+.

Apr-02-07		amr52: what about Nxd5 then 17 .... Nc3 winning the exchange at least or going to 18... Na5 or Nxa7+

Feb-29-08		Bobsterman3000: Classic example of "castling into it" with 13. 0-0-0. White's 3 minor pieces were then sealed off from providing QS help due to the central pawn structure. It would have been much better to go with 13. 0-0

Jun-27-08		rodo: a layman's question: I think 16...Nf6 is the best continuation in this situation, however if after this white play 17.Qc1 Ne4 18.Bd2 what's then? I don't see any evident moves to make a mate so easily

Aug-19-08		piroflip: no mate but 18...Nxf2 looks pretty decisive.

Feb-16-09		Jim Bartle: Fascinating. Resignation comes because a knight on e8 threatens a queen on d2 and a king on b1.

Jul-22-09		Skivist: I still don't get why white resigned so early. What's wrong with 17. a3

Jul-22-09		Benzol: <Skivist> Black has to move first. <aw1988> has hit the nail on the head. This game is actually short by one move. According to my copy of Kasparov's book "My Games" black's 16th move was f6. A possible continuation is 16...f6 17.a3 e4 18.c1 d3 19.xd3 c3+ 20.a1 b3 and White will lose.

Jul-22-09		hms123: <Benzol> <A possible continuation is 16...Nf6 17.a3 Ne4 18.Qc1 Nd3 19.Bxd3 Nc3+ 20.Ka1 Qb3 and White will lose.> <19.Rxd3> is much better for White click for larger view after <19....Nxf2 20.Rf1 Nxd3 21.Bxd3> click for larger view but <18...Nc3+ 19.Bxc3 Nd3+> wins for Black. click for larger view

Jul-22-09		Benzol: <hms123> Thanks. That's what I get for only having a cusory glance at the previous posts and the position in front of me. LOL. :)

Jul-22-09		hms123: <Benzol> You are very welcome. I always enjoy your comments and analysis, which is why I looked at the position in the first place. Now if only I could get into such a position in the first place...

May-31-10		Xeroxx: I believe white resigned way too early. I did some work on the final position and found that white can survive with 17. ng5 ..kg8 18.f3 ...hxg5 19.hxg ..Nh5 20.Bh2 and have some quite good fighting chances.
