If white plays 14. Kxh2 0-0 |
|
| Aug-24-13 | | stacase: 13 Nxd7 is fairly obvious, and it sort of plays it self after that. |

| Aug-24-13 | | morfishine: <radtop> Good point ***** |

|
| Aug-24-13 | | kabirbel: N×f7 is a good way to expose the king, activate the queen and get a advantageous position |
|
| Aug-24-13 | | KlingonBorgTatar: First saw this game when I was a teenager in the 70's. Still gives me the thrills. |
|
| Aug-24-13 | | KlingonBorgTatar: Nice pun!! |

| Aug-24-13 | | Dr. Funkenstein: White to play…. Keres is down 3 pawns so clearly he has a tactical shot of some sort planned that the rest of us need to find… 13. Nxf7 threatening the d6 bishop and h8 rook
13. …Kxf7 14. Qh5+
…g6 15. Bxg6+ hxg6 16. Qxh8 looks good with open lines to attack …Kf8 16. Rfe1 Bd7 17. Re3 threatening Rf3+
…Kg8 16. Rfe1 g6 (Bd7 17. Re8+ Bxe8 18. Qxe8+ Bf8 19. Qe6#) 17. Bxg6 13. …Qc7 14. Nxh8 doesn’t look good for black even with the knight in the corner temporarily -- Didn’t fully analyze 13. …Bxh2+ 14. Kxh2 Qc7+ and I doubt I would have found 15. Ne5! In this line |

| Aug-24-13 | | RandomVisitor: After 10.0-0 black needs to try something else in order to avoid a white advantage:

|
| Aug-24-13 | | kevin86: Eight of black's first eleven moves were wuth pawns. He had triplets on move 8-a great receipe for defeat. |
|
| Aug-24-13 | | gofer: I looked at Nxf7 for a long time. Black can reply with Bxh2+, O-O and Kxf7.
After I had managed to avoid the complications of Bxh2+ with Kh1 everything
became a lot clearer. Black has to accept the knight sacrifice! <13 Nxf7 ...>
13 ... O-O
14 Nxd6 
13 ... Bxh2+
14 Kh1 Kxf7 ( O-0 Qh5 )
15 Qh5+ g6 (Kf8 Rfe1 )
16 Qf3+ Kg8 (Ke8 Qf6 or Ke6/Kg7 Qf6+ or Bf4 Bxf4 ) 17 Rfe1 Bd7
18 Be7
<13 ... Kxf7>
<14 Qh5+ ...>
14 ... Ke6+ 15 Bf5+
14 ... Kf8 15 Rfe1 Bd7 16 Qf3+ Kg8 17 Be7
14 ... Kg8 15 Qe8+ Bf8 16 Qxc8
<14 ... g6>
<15 Bxg6+ hxg6>
<16 Qxh8 ...>
At which point, white has ripped open black's defenses. A single solitary pawn
stands up in front of the king and defending that AND the two loose bishops is
a tall order...
~~~
Yep! |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: 17 Re1 is such a great move.
click for larger viewThe threat is 18 Qh7+ Kf8 19 Bh6#.
The rook is untouchable because if 17...Qxe1+ 18 Rxe1 b1Q, it's still mate in two as shown above. <Notyetagm> had pointed this out back in December 2004. It looks like in the end one way white can win is to set up a nice discovered check winning the queen (like below) after a series of checking moves.

| Aug-24-13 | | LyzArts: Black's game is hopeless, but he might have held out a bit longer had he played 13. ... 0-0. |
|
| Aug-24-13 | | agb2002: White is three pawns down.
Black's threat 13... Bxe5 is not real because of 14.Re1 Nc6 (14... O-O 15.Rxe5 f6 16.Qh5 with attack) 15.f4 recovering the piece and 13... f6 loses to 14.Qh5+. The king in the center invites to play 13.Nxf7:
A) 13... Kxf7 14.Qh5+
A.1) 14... Ke6 15.Bf5+ Ke5 (15... Kxf5 16.Bd2(8)+ and 17.Bxa5 + - [Q vs B+N+2P]) 16.Rfe1+ Kd4 (16... Qxe1+ 17.Rxe1+ Kd4 (17... Kxf5 18.g4#) 18.Qg4+ Kc5 19.Bxc8, etc.) 17.Be3+ A.1.a) 17... Kc4 18.Qe2+ Kb4 (18... Kc3 19.Qxb2+ Kc4 29.Qb3#) 18.Qxb2+ and mate next. A.1.b) 17... Kc3 18.Bd2+ Kxd2 (18... Kc4 19.Bxa5 g6 20.Qe2+, etc.) 19.Qe2+ Kc3 20.Qxb2+ Kc4 21.Rec1+ Qc3 22.Qxc3#. A.2) 14... Kf8 15.Rfe1 Bd7 (15... Qa4 16.Qf3+ Kg8 17.Qxd5+ Kf8 18.Qxd6+, etc.) 16.Qf3+ (16.Bxh7 Qc3) 16... Kg8 17.Be7 Nc6 (17... Bxe7 18.Rxe7 + -) 18.Bxd6 recovers the piece and keeps the attack. A.3) 14... Kg8 15.Rfe1 Bd7 16.Re8+ Bxe8 17.Qxe8+ Bf8 18.Qe6#. A.4) 14... g6 15.Bxg6+ hxg6 (15... Ke6 16.Bf5+ as in A.1; 15... Kg7 16.Bh6+ Kf6 (16... Kg8 17.Bf7#) 17.Qg5+ Ke6 18.Bf5+ Kf7 (18... Ke5 19.Bg7#) 19.Qg7+ Ke8 20.Rfe1+ and mate soon; 15... Kf8 16.Rfe1 Bd7 17.Be8 seems to win; 15... Kg8 16.Rfe1 is similar to the previous subline) 16.Qxh8 recovers material and keeps the attack. A.4.a) 16... Bf5 17.Qf6+ Kg8 (17... Ke7 18.Qxd6 Nc6 19.Rxb2 + - [R vs N]) 18.Qxd6 Bxb1 19.Qe6+ Kg7 20.Qe7+ Kg8 21.Bf6 and mate soon. A.4.b) 16... Bb4 17.Qf6+ Ke8 18.Qxg6+ Kd7 19.Qg7+ Kc6 20.Qxb2 and the material is more or less balanced but White keeps the attack. B) 13... Bxh2+ 14.Kxh2 Kxh7 15.Qh5+ looks favorable for White because the square e7 is now available for a rook or bishop. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Maybe Winter grabbed all of those pawns in the opening to put pressure on Keres to prove that the sacrifices were correct? |
|
| Aug-26-21 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: According to GM Reuben Fine, "The World's Greatest Chess Games", 1976, p. 213, this was the game, which made Paul "the Second" Keres world-famous. Together with Akiba Rubinstein, David Bronstein, Viktor Korchnoi, and Vassily Ivanchuk he was the strongest player, who never became world champion. |

 | | perfidious: Winter cannot be accused of anything less than outright avarice in snatching virtually everything which his young opponent put on offer. |

| May-17-23 | | Gaito: This is a very famous victory of the young Paul Petrovich Keres. It can be found in several books, even (of course) in Keres's own book of his annotated best games.
If you analyze this game with a strong engine, it becomes clear that White's game can hardly be improved, so we might say that Paul Keres played almost a perfect game. The only exception being perhaps in the following position:
click for larger viewWHITE TO MOVE
In this position Keres played 18.Rxe4, which forces a quick win, and he attached an exclamation mark to this move. Nevertheless, according to engines, there was an even better move (albeit more prosaic), namely 18.Qf6+ with a forced mate in eight as follows: 18.Qf6+ Kg8 19.Qe6+ Kg7 20.Bf6+ Kh7 21.Qf7+ Kh6 22.Qg7+ Kh5 23.Qh8+ Kg4 24.Qh3+ Kf4 25.g3+ Kf3 26.Re3# (se diagram)

| Aug-01-24 | | generror: Guess someone didn't know who he was playing against... indeed, never underestimate your opponents -- especially back when there was no internet and there were no stupid ratings and you had no idea how strong that 19-year old Estonian boy sitting in front of you really is :) Nice to see this arrogance punished so mercilessly. Regarding the quicker mate that <Gaito> found; yes, I actually prefer it to the game because it's kinda funny how the queen harasses the poor black king and I'm a silly kind of person; but this doesn't make this game any less awesome. Analyzing games with engines is fun and interesting, but what I find more interesting than the pseudo-perfection of Stockfish is the style and the personality of these great players; to me, their mistakes and imperfections are far more fascinating than the soulless variations that Stockfish has to offer. |
