  notyetagm: <A discovered attack is like making two moves at once.> This is the reason for the lethality of discoveries. When Kasparov played the discovered interference 32 ... Nd1+!, it was like he played 32 ... Ra8-c8 and 32 ... Nb2-d1+ <simultaneously>.

It's like Garry waved a magic wand and said "For my 32nd move I will now make two moves in a row. For the first part of my move, I will play 32 ... Ra8-c8, moving my rook to an open line and making the White c1-knight loose. And for the second part of my move, I will play 32 ... Nb2-d1+, exploiting by interference the looseness that was created in the first part of my move".

Dec-04-05  TopaLove: The move I most liked in this game was 40 ... Rc2+. It made possible for Black to promote his pawn first than White cause of the threat Rb2+. Nice endgame!
Jan-16-06  crepo: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 O-O 6. Be3 e5 7. d5 c6 8. Bd3 b5 9. cxb5 cxd5 10. exd5 e4 11. fxe4 and now where are the compensation for black ?! please someone help me

I know. But I was reading Stohl's book last night and saw that tactical idea again and was going to do the writeup that I forgot I had already done. So that repeat was just a little note to myself. You do not often see the <DISCOVERED INTERFERENCE> tactic.

Jun-26-07  sanyas: Also note that if 33.Ke2 then 33...Rxc1 defends the knight
Apr-27-08  compuserve: Hey Garry,whats your move if 11.fxe4?
Anybody? tnx much...
Apr-28-08  KarAkter: You are right.11.fe4! is much better.11... Ng4 12.Qd2 and now Bc3,Ne3 or f5(from my own database).Anyway,white rules
Apr-28-08  KarAkter: But 11.Ne4 is also ok
Apr-29-08  compuserve: Thnx much Karakter...
Feb-13-12  screwdriver: I'd have liked to see the game played out further.
