 | | FSR: <newzild> 24...Qxc4 25.Qf4 looks crushing. |
|
| May-20-13 | | King Sacrificer: Was this gem hidden since 2002? Congrats <backrank> for finding it. |

 | | scormus: A great game by Pilnik, all the more so that he won on move 32 against Najdorf who wasn't playing all that badly. Thanks <FSR> for getting this game posted. |
|
| May-20-13 | | backrank: <King Sacrificer> You're welcome :) It's been only recently that I've found it in 'Chess marches on' by Reuben Fine. I fell in love with this game instantly. I like 19 Nxh5!
20 Bf6!!
and especially
22 b4!!
as a preparation to
23 Qg3!!
(the black knight had to be deflected from d8 to make this possible)

| May-20-13 | | backrank: And of course, many thanks to <FSR> for liking it and making it GOTD. |
|
| May-20-13 | | RookFile: Najdorf was playing for a win, of course, but Pilnik rose to the occasion and made a feast out of his kingside attack. |
|
| May-20-13 | | kevin86: everybody see white's 23rd and black's 27th? Both sides offer the queen at the sting of a mate. |

| | scormus: <FSR: <sleepyirv> Indeed. I had no idea I had such clout. :-)> Is your uncle named Sir Robert Walpole? ;) |
|
| May-20-13 | | Ezzy: Najdorf won the tournament with 13.5/17, his only loss was this game against Pilnik. Pilnik was joint second with Stahlburg on 13/17. |
|
| May-20-13 | | Mendrys: For some silly reason I initially thought that the game ended with 31...Rc3+ 0-1 and couldn't for the life of me figure out what black was supposed to do to prevent mate on d8 after 32. f3. After about minutes I rechecked the game score and was a bit relieved to see that I wasn't losing my mind! |

| May-10-22 | | Whitehat1963: Wow! What a game! Had not seen it before. |
|
| May-27-22 | | Agferna: A little history on Pilnik’s pride for this game. This game actually has a name: “La Perla de Pilnik”, i.e., “The Pilnik Pearl”.
You can imagine he frequently showed it and taught it to many audiences. He was very proud of this game a taught a group of youngsters in Venezuela me included, around 1976. When he arrived at move 22 he set the stage with great suspense and drama. I quietly had b4 on my board, but he saw from the corner of his eye and came over super annoyed in his usual ill temper loudly claiming that I must know the game. Believe me, I didn’t know the game; in 1976 in Venezuela all you had was newspaper clippings and dated semi-annual Chess Informants 2 editions back, and this 1942 game was well before the Informants even started in 1966. However Pilnik in building suspense provided the key clue that in that position Black was essentially a butterfly’s wing flap away from his position falling apart like a house of cards. I quickly guessed it had to be b4 and was working out the variations when he stormed over to me.
The other 2 moves he found very difficult and he was really fond of might come as a surprise Rae1 and h3.

I thought maybe 19. Nxg6
Stockfish 16 says:
19. Nxh5
(19. Nxh5 (1.Nxh5 gxh5 2.Bf6 Qc5 3.Rd1 e3 4.Bd5 exf2+ 5.Kf1 Be6 6.Qxh5 Qb5+
7.Kxf2 Bc5+ 8.Kg3 Bd6+ 9.Kh4 Qa4+ 10.g4 Qxg4+ 11.Qxg4+ Bxg4 12.Kxg4 Be7
13.Kf5 Rd8 14.Bb3 Rxd1) +2.45/55 585)
score for White +2.45 depth 55.
SF gives my idea 19. Nxg6
a slight advantage to Black of +0.50. |

That’s what I thought, but it didn’t pan out. |
