| Feb-09-10 | | Everett: White could have tried 14.Nfg5 with Geller Gambit type play. |
|
| Feb-09-10 | | Everett: 16..Rxc4 is one of the stronger exchange sacs I've seen in recent memory. |
|
| Feb-09-10 | | SuperPatzer77: < Once: What a delightful game! I really enjoyed the exchange sac with 16...Rxc4. In return, black gets such a powerful central mass that white can't really do much for the rest of the game...> <Once> Yes, indeed!! This exchange sacrifice amuses me. It sure gives Black great compensation for the Black rook. SuperPatzer77 |
|
| Feb-09-10 | | Shams: <sileps>< 20.Bxd5 has to be better than the text move... ...Best reply for black is probably 20..Bxd5 and then white plays 21.Nf6+, I think this causes black some trouble.> In your line after 21.Nf6+ gxf6:
click for larger viewI have to disagree with you, black is simply crushing here. |
|
| Feb-09-10 | | WhiteRook48: 31 Ne2 looks like a good gamble |
|
| Feb-09-10 | | patzer2: <VargPod><...Böök thinks 20.Ng3 is decicive mistake, and 20.Bxd5 would win for white> He's right! After the forcing 20. Bxd5 Bxd5! 21. Rc8+ Kf7 22. Qh5+ g6 23. Nd6+ Bxd6 24. Qh6!  , Black must surrender the Queen with 24...Qb8 25. RxQ (-1.82 @22-depth, 2-pcu, Fritz 10). |

| Feb-10-10 | | Shams: <patzer2>

 | | Honza Cervenka: <Shams> Well, at least i can see why black must surrender his Queen. In the position of your diagram 25.Rxh8 is quite evident threat and 24...Rxc8 25.Qxh7+ and 26.Qxa7 is definitely worse for black than 24...Qb8. |
|
| Feb-10-10 | | VargPOD: Böök himself gives following variations:
20.Bxd5 Bxd5 21.Rc8+ Kd7
(after 21...Kf7 22.Bf4 fxe4 23.Bxe5 black would be completely helpless) 22.Rd8+ Kc7 23.Qc2+ Bc6
(or Nc6 24.Rxd5 exd5 25.Rc1 Qb7 26.Bf4+ Kd7 27.Nc5+ Bxc5 28.Qxc5 etc.) 24.Nc5! Qxc5 25.Qxc5 Bxc5 26.Rxh8 winning for white. |
|
| Feb-10-10 | | Shams: <Honza> you're right, I should have seen that. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | SuperPatzer77: <Kevin86> Let's say "Book him for checkmate" when mirandizing Eero Einar Book. LOL LOL LOL. --> just a joke. SuperPatzer77 |
|
| Oct-28-14 | | TheBish: Wow, I never saw Keres crushed like this before! I'm not too familiar with Book, but this has to be one of his very best games. Total domination of the center, ending in a mating attack. |
|
| Nov-14-20 | | Eric Farley: Pretty arrogant on Keres' part. To continue playing with four pawns down. Soviet's arrogance thinking that non-soviet players are mediocre. |
|
| Nov-15-20 | | sudoplatov: A quick Stockfishing expedition indicates that 22.Qh5+ is a blunder whereas 22.Re1 is equal. Also 21.Bd8 would have left White up about 1.36 Pawns. |
|
| Apr-19-22 | | Mathematicar: Not so Book. |
|

 | | Check It Out: Nice win by Book. |
|
| Sep-18-23 | | Petrosianic: <Check It Out: Nice win by Book.> You're sure you want to go out on a limb like that? |
|
Sep-18-23
| | Check It Out: <Petro> It got your (and possibly other's) attention to a nice game, so success. |
|
| Sep-19-23 | | Petrosianic: <Check It Out>: <Petro> It got your (and possibly other's) attention to a nice game, so success.> But did it get <your> attention to it? You haven't said anything to suggest that you played the game over at all. Anybody can fake knowledge by looking at a scoresheet, seeing who won, and then claiming that the winner played a non-specifically good game. |

| | Check It Out: <Petro: You haven't said anything to suggest that you played the game over at all> I did: "Nice win by Book", implying I looked at the game and enjoyed it, which I did. I didn't mention the nice exchange sac or the blistering kingside attack; they've already been mentioned in the comments. Perhaps you didn't read those, i did. Instead, you chose to troll: <Petro: Anybody can fake knowledge by looking at a scoresheet, seeing who won, and then claiming that the winner played a non-specifically good game.> Whatever, you've shown yourself for all to see. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Keres went through a real bad patch at this Olympiad. When a great player is off form these things can happen, but Book played well and seized the day. The Sicilian style exchange sac to pick up the e-pawn (here on c4 instead c3) 
click for larger viewIs forced. If Black does not do it then White will gain the upper hand. Though the mood Keres was in at this event it may not have been enough to win. |

 | | perfidious: It appears that, as noted, if Keres had played 21.Bd8, Black would not have had enough compensation, but he had no good alternative to the sacrifice of exchange, which had the virtue of giving his opponent a more difficult position to handle. |

 | | louispaulsen88888888: To be fair to Keres, it’s hard facing someone whose every move is a Book move. |
|

| | louispaulsen88888888: 32.Rxe5 would have put up more resistance. He had chances until almost the end. It was not arrogance to continue. Try playing online. Some players won’t resign 5 queens down. |
