Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-23-04  Whitehat1963: Who missed the best opportunity?
Dec-06-19  zydeco: A draw royale! 19.Be8 is lovely.
Dec-06-19  Carrots and Pizza: Teichman playing some good chess against one of the all time greats! This game is particularly tactical what with all the unusual and long distance bishop moves.

After 8.Nxd4, I'm not sure I've even seen this position before. I played through the game quickly, but still, 10.Nc3 was a bit of a surprise. If 10...d3 then I think 11.Bxd5 forking the Ra8 and Ne4. Pretty cool.

After 11...c5, I would feel that something is wrong with my game, as White.

For me, it starts to get tricky around 17...Qb6, attacking the bishop in b5. That bishop looks like it's hard to defend but White finds a way with the counterattack 18.Re1! But after 18...Ba3 and 19.Be8! the whole position feels rather precarious to me. I'm sure if I were playing either white or black, I would blunder somewhere around here and give the win to my opponent, as I so often do. Everything is hanging by a thread and the theme of pieces being overworked is everywhere.

Black plays 19...Ra5 protecting his rook but white counters with 20.Bc1. In the next few moves, the bishops dart all over the board like arrows.

This game is kind of unique.
