Kibitzer's Corner
May-06-04  Jim Bartle: Interesting queen sacrifice on move 30 with two bishops against a queen, but with a pawn on the seventh and the h-pawn ready to trot down the board.

Nunn has white's 33rd and 34th move in the opposite order, though it leads to the same position.

Aug-05-15  ToTheDeath: <17.Rxg7!? Nxg7 18.Nxe5> was possible, giving white ample compensation for the exchange.

After missing this opportunity Piket became more and more passive. Nunn's Queen sac sequence starting with 28...Qg4 was a stroke of genius, giving him a monster pawn on g2 and tying White down. Piket could have played better to defend but the shock of such a sacrifice tends to confuse even the best of players. Nice game.

Oct-07-16  Howard: New in Chess analyzed a certain position around the 40th move, and it did so very extensively. Just looked at it last night.
