| patzer2: <Calli> Never thought about it much, but for a novice or someone with only a basic knowledge of Chess to hear tactical moves described as sacrifices, pins, forks, deflections, skewers, obstruction, clearance, interference, double attacks etc. must at first sound like some kind of a foreign language. I suppose that's characteristic of all specialized areas of knowledge. They tend to develop their own vocabulary and definitions, which only specialists and enthusiasts understand. Unfortunately in Chess, as your illustration so humorously demonstrates, the definitions and descriptions of Chess tactics have not, at least historically, always been uniform or consistent. |

| tpstar: <patzer2> A good example of How to Quickly Confuse Non-Enthusiasts would be your average Bridge column. I've never played the game, but with their peculiar yet distinctive terminology, I've never had the interest. Chess is much better. ;>D |

| sanyas: Somebody should have told Petrosian not to play the Najdorf against Spassky! |

| Knight13: There was no way White could've prevented 15. g4. I say Black could've delayed castling and started his counter attack on the queen side with ...b5 earlier. |

| Marmot PFL: Yes he should have played Petroff or Caro-Kann (like karpov). |

| Superbull: Great finish by Boris. If 24...hxg5 25.Qh5+ Kg8 26.Qf7+ Kh8 27.Rg3 threatening mate by Rh3. If 27...e5 28. Qh5#. White's bishop on b3 is critical to the kill. |

| HannibalSchlecter: You don't grab pawns that open lines to your king. When will these former world champions ever learn? |

| drpoundsign: you can get whacked playing Sicilian. Some pretty traps and sacs. the Tiger chased his tail..beat at his own game. |

| Etienne: "The theme of the week: How a WCC game SHOULD look like..." What? Because you found the Anand-Kramnik games boring? |
|

| slomarko: i found them boring too. |

| tivrfoa: why not 22-Ne4 Nxe4? |
|
| Oct-29-08 |
| Chessdreamer: <tivrfoa> 22.-Nxe4 23.Rxf8+ mates. |
|

| maxi: Probably Petrosian did not foresee, neither at home or OTB, the tandem sac of a Pawn and a Knight: 21.e5 dxe5 22. Ne4 |
|

| maxi: The spirit of this game reminds me of the one of another famous Spassky victory, Spassky vs Bronstein, 1960 |

click for larger viewand from here I can't find any other quick mate but with spectacular 28.Rff3 (unless I miss smth of course), coz otherwise 28.Rxg4 Qe7 and whites can win the Q but no quick mate. Position after 28.Rff3
