 | | FSR: Surely Black can't survive after 9.Qg4+ Kxe5 10.d4+ Kxd4 11.Qxf4. |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | The Last Straw: Made it to 10…♔xd4. |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | TomOhio: Now, see? THAT'S how a King's Gambit game is supposed to be played... weird positions and combinations, crazy looking moves... total chaos. That's why I always liked it. |

| Aug-18-12 | | Abdel Irada: <morfishine: Made it through to <15.Bxd8> but didn't see it all the way through to <24.Qxf6#> Do I get half-credit for guessing the opening was a Kings Gambit? :)> I think you get full credit for what you did find. The continuation after 15. ...♖xd8 involved suboptimal defense by Korchnoi, so can't be regarded as part of the puzzle. In fact, as <abuzic> has pointed out, winning Black's queen is not White's best line either; apparently 13. ♕h5! forces mate, which is far clearer than settling for queen plus attacking chances versus three minor pieces. By this criterion, either <abuzic> alone (if he found that solution without reference to silicon) or no one (if he didn't) gets *full* credit. And if that is so, it seems to me that we all get credit to the extent that we found our way to some advantage for White. By that measure, I award myself partial credit, and I am now 4.7165384/5 on the week. :-D |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: At first I thought 9 d5, with the threat of 10 Qg4#. Then I saw that that was too slow because black can check on h4 with his bishop, so 9 Qg4+ was necessary to force 9...Kxe5. Then I looked over the whole game and saw that it was "cooked', so I said what the @##@ is going on? We need a forensic chess detective to figure this one out! |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | bengalcat47: This is quite a shock to see Korchnoi lose in this manner. If Morphy had been alive at the time of this game he would've thoroughly enjoyed it! |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | Moonwalker: I got to 11. c3+, but couldn't keep track of the position in my head! |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | njchess: 9. Qg4+ is not all that difficult. The game line is a bit tricky after 16. 0-0. But once you realize that White is "all in", it's just a matter of throwing pieces at the Black king. This game is yet another good reason not to play 5. ... Nxe4! |
|
| Aug-18-12 | | TheBish: Lutikov vs Korchnoi, 1951 White to play (9.?) "Very Difficult"
This looks somewhat familiar, so maybe that helped to work out the attack. 9. Qg4+! Kxe5 10. d4+ Kxd4
Or 10...Kxe4 11. Qxf4#
11. c3+ Ke5
Now if 11...Kxe4 12. Qxf4+ Kd3 13. Qd4#, or 11...Kd3 12. Qe2#. 12. Bxf4+ Kxe4 13. Qf3+ Kf5 14. Bxc7+
White wins the queen, and will continue the king hunt from there. |

|
| Aug-19-12 | | stst: One obvious course:
9.Qg4+ Kxe5
10.d4+ Kxd4
11.c3+ Kxe4
12.0-0+ Kd3
13.Qe2#
IF, as above, after 10.d4+ Kxe4, then
11.Qxf4#
See what's missing.... |

| | Jimfromprovidence: <sevenseaman> <Intriguing. How so? Not that I could see any tell tale signs!> Some of the earlier posts put the idea in my head. Then two telltale signs for me were 7...Ke6 instead of 7...Kg8 and 8...d5 instead of 8...Kxe5. Now 9 Qg4+ leaves black with only 9 ...Kxe5 and the king hunt is on. No player of that caliber puts his king out there for slaughter unforced. |
|
| Aug-19-12 | | morfishine: <Abdel Irada> Thanks for the input. Once a line begins to string itself out, I pretty much call it a day. For example, one mentioned castling either side (move 14?) which I looked at as winning for White (keeping the threat against <c7>) and the improvement for Black <15...Bxd8> which makes it harder for White. IMO, its important to ID main points, like <10...Kxd4> since 10...Kxe4 is answered by 11.Qxf4#, stuff like. Once the forcing line ceases, it becomes a tree, and thats when I'm done |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: This game has to be a record of some kind, lots of checks! |
|
| Dec-16-19 | | m.okun: Of course, Lutikov could not calculate everything in advance, but caused a storm on the board with a sacrifice of the bishop on the seventh move. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Helluva King hunt! Viktor Korchnoi is 20 years old here. I would guess he changed his response to the Kings Gambit after this game. |
|
| Dec-18-19 | | m.okun: Lutikov is two years younger than the opponent. He was a very talented chess player, but he was ruined by drunkenness. |
|
| Dec-19-19 | | Carrots and Pizza: This guy Lutikov smashed Tal and Korchnoi. I haven't heard of him before today. He's like a Paul Morphy from the 1950s. |
|
Dec-19-19
 | | perfidious: Lutikov gave Tal a rough ride throughout their careers (+5 -2 =8 overall). |
|
| Dec-19-19 | | m.okun: About Lutikov: Genna Sosonko. My testimony (portraits of people of a bygone era). Moscow, 2003 (in russian). |
|
| Sep-26-21 | | Whitehat1963: Ouch! What a buttkick! |
|
Dec-23-22
 | | GrahamClayton: Lutikov finished 14th and last in the 1951 Chigorin Memorial with a score of 2.5/13, but his two victories were over Mark Taimanov and this brilliant attacking game. |
