| Boomie9: Black may have also had a slight chance of swindling a draw after 29...Re1+ 30.Kd5 Ne3+ 31.Kd6 Nc4+ 32.BxN Qb6+ 33.Kd5 Qe6+ 34.Kc5 Qb6+ect.. but in this variation after 32.QxN! Qb6+ 33.Kd7 Rd1+ 34.Bd4 RxB+ 35.QxR QxQ 36.Kc8 Qd2 37.Rf2 dis+ 1-0 In any event Korchnoi didn't have a 'strong attack' here since the threat of mate meant every move had to be a check...and the threat of discovered check by interpolating a rook limited the checks he could give! Korchnoi's 'attack' is desparation in an inferior position. |

| Boomie9: And what else besides 26..Nh4 Whites threats are so numerous black must play all checks since allowing white even one tempo would lose. |

| TheAlchemist: <acirce> Thanks for that line. I only looked at the position after 26...Nh4. |

| TheAlchemist: This game should be the correct one (in the Chess Informant of 1973 it ends with Rxg7), but the game below might be a duplicate: A Shashin vs Korchnoi, 1973. |

| PolishPentium: Any merit to sacrificial Knight checks for Black on move 22, either 22...Ne2+ or Nf3+ ?? If 22...Nf3+ 23 QxNf3, then 23...Qxb2, snapping up one of the bothersome White bishops, and 23 gxf3 allows 23...Rd1+ to at least cause some complications. If 22...Ne2+ Rxe2, then the same Rook check 23...Rd1+. // Again, not saying Black will end up doing great, but at this may least ameliorate the situation a little. Or am i totally off base again? Some feedback for the benefit of a duffer would be appreciated... |

| Jimfromprovidence: 29...Re1+ 30 Kd5 Nf6+!? 31 Rxf6 (forced) gxf6 and black has some fight left in him.

| al wazir: Discretion is the better part of valor: 22...Ne6. And if 23. Qb4, then 23...Rd1+ 24. Kh2 Qxf2, with a much stronger attack than that in the game. |

| DarthStapler: I saw this game in a book once. I forget which one. |

| birthtimes: Beautiful example of the power of the 2 Horrwitz bishops with a queen battery and attack on weak point f7 with the assistance of a rook...wonderful coordinating of the pieces by White. |

| leow: did 22 ..Ne6 have any merit? |

| randomsac: Great play weathering the storm then delivering a crushing blow. Actually, the title reminds me of Barry Manilow. |

| screwdriver: I thought Korchnoi was winning this game until the very end. I expected to see 26... N(g4)e3+ instead of Korchnoi's 26... Nh4+. If white captures the Knight on e3 with his pawn on f2, then 27... Qxg3mate. White can take the knight on e3 with his queen , but then 27...N(f5)xe3+ and this opens up the d2 and c6 squares for the attack. If white doesn't take with the queen on move 27 then black can just play Nf1+ and possibly pursue the attack further or just repeat moves for the draw. I haven't analyzed it all the way through or checked on Fritz. |

| kevin86: A fantastic game! White was to win,if the king suevived his troubles-and he did. The lethal discovered check-like Christmas in THE GRINCH-did come. |

| pimbo: 20...Kf8 looks good to me |
|

| pimbo: In the end if 34...Rxg5 35.hxg5 Qxb2 isnt bad or im wrong? |

| YetAnotherAmateur: His name was Boris. He was a GM.
With two bishops on a line, and a double check in mind.
He'd do the king walk, and the queen sac.
Another brilliancy prize, and surprise in Korchnoi's eyes.With apologies to Barry Manilow. |

| estrick: pimbo: In the end if 34...Rxg5 35.hxg5 Qxb2 isnt bad or im wrong? 36. Bf2+ wins for White |
|
| Aug-19-09 |
| YetAnotherAmateur: <estrick> I think you'd do better with a move that's actually legal, like 36. Rxb7+ |
|
| Aug-19-09 |
| WhiteRook48: or even 36 Rxg7+?!?! |

| Annie K.: Alright, who's responsible for this pun?!
Inquiring minds want to know. :p |

| Dr. J: <al wazir> <leow> 22 ... Ne6 loses to 23 Bxe6 fxe6 24 Rxg7+ |
|
| Aug-20-09 |
| Manic: <Dr. J> Black can play 23...Rd1+ 24.Kh2 Qd6+ picking up the rook. Can't see anything that good for white here. White is going to have to worry about this trick and the dangerous position of his rook. |
|
| Aug-20-09 |
| YetAnotherAmateur: <WhiteRook48>36. Rxg7+ is legal, but allows white to end up with a marauding queen after 36. ... Kf8 37. Rg8+ Ke7 ... Whereas after 36. Rxb7+, the queen must be sacrificed to prevent Rb8#. 36. Rf2+ also works, but costs white his bishop. |
