| Jan-29-06 | | sneaky pete: <LluviaSean> It's an in-between move. |
|
| Jan-30-06 | | Timothy Glenn Forney: <Jan-29-06 LluviaSean: what the heck is a Zwischenzug??? >If you want know what Zwischenzug is check this game out,its loaded with them Browne vs Kneebone, 1985 |

 | | Eric Schiller: <Lluviasean>I prefer the term intermezzo, it is much easier to handle than zwischenzug. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | jackmandoo: I can literally hear that king gasping for air. Its been like 54 years, die already king. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | tommy boy: Fantastic combination. The rook sac is realy unexpected. just brilliant |

| Sep-23-10 | | theodor: in italian this mate is called 'affogato'(suffocated). in english - 'what a hell of a squeez'! |

| Apr-14-15 | | mikealando: Awww wowowowow! That's chess greatness. Patzer me would first have grabbed the queen after the 27. Ng6 royal fork. |
|
| Apr-14-15 | | mikealando: Simply takes the breath away this. Blown away. |

 | | offramp: <Sämisch Last Cheer>. Sämisch's chess career runs from 1920 to 1972 but this is his last win, in 1953. The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?
The same procedure as every year, Sämisch! |

 | | fredthebear: Originally, FTB saw this as a sideways Philidor's Legacy (RxQ sac on the edge draws the rook next to the cornered king, and then the N#). However, it now seems to be Greco's Mate w/a pawn substituting for the bishop to prevent escape from the corner. Take your pick either way -- it's a beauty!! |
|
| Oct-21-19 | | sea7kenp: Over the board, I might have sold myself short, and settled for Black's Queen (28 Nxf4+), with Black's Rook as a bonus. However, the actual play was, just Beautiful! |
|
| Jul-06-24 | | MightyPatzer: Sämisch but different. |

 | | Korora: I saw 23.exf6, but not the follow-up. |
|
| Mar-02-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The king saw this sac, but in view of the line: 23...gxf4 24. gxh5 gxf6 the g8 column seems to give B counter chances. In the case of 24. f6xg7 then Rh7 seems to avoid to lost the ♖ and prepare to capture the dangerous g7 ♙. I really don't explored much. So, the king lost time with 23. Rxf6+. which didn't work because of gxf6 24. exf6 Rhh8 25. Nxg5+ when Kg8/f8/e8 W can win, although Kg6 avoids the ♕ penetration and the attack has failed. The game W last moves are fantastic! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Not even a clue; typical Sunday for me. Saemisch never cured his time trouble problem, but at his best he matched the most dangerous attackers in the world. |
|
| Mar-02-25 | | vajeer: I went with 23. gxh5 gxf4 24. exf6 gxf6
If 23. exf6, Engine suggests 23...gxf4 26.gxh5 gxf6
So looks like the two lines just transpose. |
|
| Mar-02-25 | | murkia: Rxf6 also wins. |

 | | scormus: Lovely finishing sequence. The text continuation is better to just play through than try to guess. I was undecided between various first moves and wasn't confident about the continuation after any of them. 23 exf6 (text), does that work? Maybe 23 gxh5, quash the potential h-file counter play straight away? 23 Nxg5+ maybe? Or my first thought, 23 Rxf6+? I really didn't know. I was surprised to find that SF rates that best, but the follow up wouldn't have been easy to easy OTB. Of the others, 23 Nxg5+ is the only one that doesn't give W a clear advantage. |

| Mar-02-25 | | mel gibson: I didn't know.
Stockfish 17 chooses a different ply:
23. Re4
(23. Re4 (1.Re4 Rh6 2.exf6 gxf6 3.h4 Qe7 4.Qe3 Kg8 5.hxg5 fxg5 6.Kg2 Rf8 7.Re5 Rg6 8.Ba3 Rxf3 9.Qxf3 Qf7
10.Rc5 Qf4 11.Bc1 Qxf3+ 12.Kxf3 e5 13.Rexe5 Be6 14.Rc7 Nxc4 ) +5.73/41 200) score for White +5.73 depth 41.
if I force SF to play the game ply it doesn't take with the Queen: 23. exf6 gxf4
(23. .. gxf4 (1. ... gxf4 2.gxh5 gxf6 3.Ng5+ fxg5 4.Qe4 Kf8 5.h6 Qf7 6.h7 Ke7 7.Ba3+ Kf6 8.h8B+ Rxh8

| Mar-02-25 | | Captain Hindsight: Both moves (exf6/gxh5) are just move-switching and both win. I like the quiet move < 23. Re4 > best, however. It preserves both directions of capture and thus the tension on the board.

| Mar-02-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Hi <mel gibson>. On the fishouse line, the king prefered after: 34. Rexe5 Be6 tjhe move: 35. Rxg5 Rxg5 36. Rxg5+ Kf7 37. c5 Nd5 38. Rh5 Kg6 39. Bc1 Kf6 40. Rh7 Bf7 41. Bd2 (B in zugswag). If 35... Kg7? 36. Rc7+ Bf7 37. Bb2+ Kf8 38. Rf5. Also Kf8 36. Rc8+ Kg7 37. Rc7+ Bf7 38. Bb2+ Kg8 39. Rf5 and imho W has more clear advantage. |
|
| Mar-02-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The final Fishouse line is: 35... Nxc4? (36. Rxe6 Rxe6 37. Rxc4 or Nd2+ 37. Ke2 Rxe6+ 38. Kxd2, with an extra ♗. (Obviously not 35. ... Bxc4?? 36. Re8#). Nc8 or Nd7 allowed the same reply 36. Rxe6 winning the extra piece. Therefore, B has only 35... Na4 and 36. Bb4 lead B to another zugswang position. |
