| clocked: I think <patzer2> means 25.Raf3. This is a very pleasing manuever intending Rf6-h6-h8. Rook lift-over-rook lift-over rook lift-mate. Lovely! |

| patzer2: <clocked> Thanks for the correction. I did indeed intend to record White wins after 21...Bg8!?,22. Bh6! Re7 23. Bxg7! Bxg7 24. Raa3! Qf8 <25. Raf3!>" |

| patzer2: Because of the interesting possibilities and the complexity of the position, I had Fritz 8 do a really long analysis on the possibilites after 21...Bg8!? to see which of the two good followup options it preferred (21...Bf8!? 22. Bh6! or 21...Bf8!? 22. Bg5!). The results are as follows
21...Bf8!? 22. Bh6! Qe7  (+1.66 @ 21 depth & 1279kN/s) 21...Bf8!? 22. Bg5! Re7 23. Bf6 Nd7 24. Qh6 Nxf6 25. exf6 g6 26. fxe7 Qxe7 27. Qf4 Bg7 28. Rd1 Qb4  (+1.38@ 21 Depth & 1279kN/s). |

| patzer2: I let Fritz 8 run longer, and then used a move by move analysis to increase the assessment on the 21... f8!? 22. h6! line to a much more decisive winning advantage.After 21...f8!? 22. h6!  e7, according to Fritz 8 play could continue 23.  aa3 g6 24. xf8
xf8 25. h6 d8 26. af3  c6 27. xf7 xf7 28. xg6+ xg6 29. xg6+ (+2.75 @ 21/53 depth @ 1389kN/s). |

| clocked: <patzer2>, only an actual nuclear device prevents you from satisfying all 3 definitions of overkill. |

|
| patzer2: <clocked> I think you're right. The project of breaking out the clear winning lines got bigger than I thought, but I couldn't resist recording the detail once I got into it. For someone with your skill, it is way overkill! However, those below expert level may find some of the analysis useful (especially since computers programs initially miss some of the winning lines if they run for less than two hours in some lines). Also I tried to weed out complex but useless computer win lines
(e.g. sacrificing pieces for a long and complex mate when simply capturing a piece is an obvious win). |

| cpalape: This game shows the great level of Polugaevsky, combination is very extended ,perfect in his conception.
It is a jewel of chess. |

| snowmobile: I think people who feel Bxh7 is the right move, are not too smart. Especially when they say white has a perpetual anyway, since white is better in the starting position.
For me the most difficult thing to spot is that after 28 Qh5 Kg8 29 Bh6 and now Kh7 there follows the beautiful 30 Bf8+ Kg8 31Qg6 Kxf8 32 g6!! with mate to follow. I've never seen that manoevre before. And I'm sure Polugaevsky saw it before he played Bxh7 and wouldnt have played Bxh7 in case he had not seen it. |

| dwavechess: Rybka agrees 70% with Polu and 69% moves with Torre |
|
| Sep-10-08 |
| dwavechess: Even climbs to 73% moves of Polugaevsky using Rybka 3 w32 4 cpu 3 minutes per move, instead of rybka 2.3.2a at 14 ply. |
|
| Sep-12-08 |
| dwavechess: for Torre with R3 remains equal. |

| Samagonka: I think I've seen a very similar game before. Wonderful and very instructive endgame tactics. |

| Peligroso Patzer: When I saw the names of the opponents in today's featured GotD, I immediately thought of this famous game: Polugaevsky vs E Torre, 1981 |

| YoungEd: Superficially, Black looks okay after move 14. He's castled and seemingly developed well. But really, his black-square isn't doing anything, and his has no real good destination. When he takes the time to withdraw and , that gives time for White's nice attack. I suppose 18. ...f8 would have been better. |

| Phony Benoni: I wonder what the time control was. If I'm reading the stuff at the top correctly, the game apparently lasted 133 years. |

| kevin86: 'Throwing the bull (Torre means "bull" in Italian or baseball manager-I'm not sure which)" Some of the play looked strange-like white was short in time and he wanted to burn a few moves. |
|

|
| patzer2: <Kevin86> A couple of moves that appears strange-like but are actually essential include 28. Qh5+! and the follow-up 29. Bh6! The first is an instructive backward-moving Queen check that offers the only clear winning continuation. The second is a sort of quiet but threatening move that also offers the strongest and perhaps only winning continuation. Another way to arrive at the positions after 28. Qh5+! and. Bh6! is if Black plays 25...Kh6. In this case (if 25...Kh6), forcing play could go 26. Qf7+ Kh8 27. Qh5+! (transposing to game after 28. Qh5+!) 28 Kg8 28. Bh6! (transposing to game after 29. Bh6!). |

| patzer2: Although I've obviously seen this amazing game before, it's good to see it again as the GOTD. Good choice CG.Com! I also enjoyed the pun. For the most part White's attack is accurately and precisely conducted after the demolition sacrifice 19. Bxh7+! White might have shortened things a bit with 24. Qh5+! Kg8 25. Bh6! , but that's an insignificant concern since he arrives at a similar winning position in the game line after 28. Qh5+! Kg8 29. Bh6! . P.S.: For a fun exercise, work out the side variations and the continuation in the fantastic winning variation 21...Bg8 (instead of the game continuation 21...g3) 22. Bh6! Re7 23. Bxg7! Bxg7 24. Raa3! Qf8 25. Raf3! |
