| kevin86: This week must be:X-ray attacks with queen sacs!
Mate of course follows:41 xg2 b1+ 42g1 xg1#.either rook can checkmate! |

| eainca: I am always curious about games such as this. Polugaevsky was no slouch yet he missed such an easy continuation for black. I wonder if he was in time trouble and was blitzing his moves to make control. |

| beenthere240: Fisher going 6-0 , 6-0 , and 6-2 1/2 in the 72 Candidates matches isn't too shabby. |
|
| Nov-30-04 |
| catfriend: So what? How is that relevant?! |
|
| Nov-30-04 |
| themindset: i am curious how anything about anand/fisher is relevant to this game. |
|

 |
| Knight13: Exact answer as what I thought! 40... Rxg2 41. Rb1+ Rg1 42. Rxg1# 1-0. Good puzzle. |
|
| Nov-30-04 |
| filipecea: <themindset> yeah! I'm curious too... but one thing is plain: both anand and fisher would laugh histerically by the vision of 40.Qd7 |

| aw1988: chessgames, this has got to be wrong. I refuse to believe Round 82. |

 |
| patzer2: <themindset> My first chess book was titled "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess." Other than lending his name to the title, Fischer had little to do with its content which was primarily a collection of simple back rank mates. So when I saw this problem and the back rank mate theme I smiled and made that note as part of a game collection on this theme. |

| Skylark: That was crap... three days ago it took me about 15 minutes to do the puzzle. Now it's just a bunch of mate in 2/3's. :( Oh well. Good game, but silly puzzle. |
|

|
| patzer2: <Skylark> For a challenge, you might try to find an improvement for White at move 39 or 40 and then play it out against a strong computer program. Black with the control of the two open files has a strong advantage and may have a win even against best play. |

| erikcu: Movie fans have the 7 steps to Kevin Bacon game. Start with an actor and name another actor that was in a movie with that actor. Repeat this proces until you have come to Kevin Bacon. (in seven or less steps) So I suppose chess fans can play 7 steps to Bobby Fischer. Lev Polugaevsky
Judit Polgar vs Lev Polugaevsky (blind) 1993
Anatoli Karpov vs Judit Polgar
Wijk aan Zee 2003
Mikhail Tal vs Anatoli Karpov
Alekhin Memorial, Moscow 1971
Mikhail Tal vs Pal Benko
14 1959
Pal Benko vs Robert James Fischer
Bad Portoroz izt 1958
And that is how Lev Polugaevsky relates to Bobby Fischer. anyone want to do that for Max Eisinger Jr? |
|

 |
| acirce: Except that Polugaevsky has PLAYED Fischer.. Fischer vs Polugaevsky, 1970 |
|
| Nov-30-04 |
| erikcu: Lev Polugaevsky vs Max Eisinger Jr
Judit Polgar vs Lev Polugaevsky
Anatoli Karpov vs Judit Polgar
... see above ...
Pal Benko vs Robert James Fischer
So you see, everything in the chess world relates to Bobby. |

| aw1988: Again, instantly. Hooray! |
|

 |
| tpstar: <erikcu> M Eisinger vs Geller, 1961 & Fischer vs Geller, 1967 Now you connect Lev Polugaevsky & Kevin Bacon. |

| alexandrovm: Queen sac! |

 |
| Gregor Samsa Mendel: <tpstar>
Polugaevsky played with Kasparov (at least 9 chess games)
Kasparov played with Boris Becker (one chess game)
Boris Becker played with Andre Agassi (tennis)
Andre Agassi "played" with Brooke Shields (erm...)
Brooke Shields played with Tom Cruise ("Endless Love")
Tom Cruise played with Kevin Bacon ("A Few Good Men") |
|
Nov-30-04
|
| tpstar: <Gregor Samsa Mendel> Objection = Leading. The male lead in "Endless Love" was Martin Hewitt, so please deliver the Bacon again. |
|
| Nov-30-04 |
| likestofork: <tpstar>
Polugaevsky died of a brain tumor
One of the most egregious lines of the Governator's acting career was in "Kindergarten Cop"....It's not a Too-ma!
Like many actors, Arnie is something of a ham
Ham comes from the same source as Bacon.
Shorter version:
Lev Polugaevsky played in various chess "clubs" throughout his life
Club - a type of sandwich, containing various porcine products, among which are Bacon |
|

|
| Gregor Samsa Mendel: Overruled = Tom Cruise was somewhere in the movie. (I know because it's on a website that links everybody up to Kevin Bacon.) It doesn't have to be a leading part, so stop swine-ing about it. |

|
| tpstar: <GSM> Oh yeah, he played the key part of Billy in his very first film role back in 1981. When you said "played" my mind naturally raced toward the naughty bits. Withdrawn. ;>) <likestofork> Surely at some point in his life Polugaevsky ate a BLT, or else had Bacon and Eggs for breakfast, so that's even quicker! |
