| Jul-18-04 | | samvega: fantastic!
15..Rxe1+ 16.Rxe1 Qxe4?? 17.Bg5
17..Kxg7 18.Rxd5 cxd5 19.Qb5+
17..Bc4 18.Qc2 (i think, threatening Qxg6 or Qa4)
17..Bxg2 18.Qa6 |

| Aug-07-11 | | Ryan Razo: Black could have gone for 14... e7, instead of making a pointless move that leads to disaster.Remember that Boris Spassky was a ferocious attacker up to the mid 60's! This game demonstrates a classic example of what I call a 'tactical castling'. |

| Aug-07-11 | | newzild: <Ryan Razo: This game demonstrates a classic example of what I call a 'tactical castling'.> What do you mean by this? White has to castle Q-side because Black has a ready-made attack on the K-side. <samvega>
Yes, I saw the same lines as you while playing through the game, and spent the most time wondering about White's response to 17...Bc4. I also thought White would reply 18. Qc2, as after 18...Kxb7 19. Qa4 White is threatening 20. Qxa7+ Kc8 21. Qa8#. Black can't defend with 19...Bd5 (blocking the d-file and giving Black's king a flight square on d7) because his bishop is pinned against the his queen on h4. |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | Ryan Razo: <newzild> 'Tactical castling' since it sets up the move 15.Nxe4. Black cannot take it because of the White rook on the d-file. If, however, Black persists with 15... xe4, then White simply replies 16. xd8+! then after 16... xd8 17.Bg5+ picks up the Black Queen:

| Aug-07-11 | | Nezhmetdinov: What if black plays 15...Rxd1 and then takes the knight? |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | faulenzer: Good question. Black looks pretty good after 15...xd1 16. xd1 xe4 17. d8+ xd8 18.  g5+ hxg5 19. xe4 e7 |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | acme: Why not 9. Nxg6? |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | acme: Oh never mind, I missed 9. ...Nxf6. The key here is the bishop on d6 which won't allow 10. Qe5+. This is the problem when you remember patterns and try to make moves intuitively! |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | Nilsson: But not after 15...Rxd1 16.Rxd1 Qxe4
17.Bg5!

| Aug-07-11 | | psmith: <faulenzer>:
A post above by <samvega> suggests, if I read it rightL 15... Rxd1 16. Rxd1 Qxe4 17. Bg5 threatening Rd8#. Black can give up his Queen with 17...Qd5 18. Rxd5 cxd5 19. Be3 but then White has a piece more than in your line. |

 | | kevin86: Going with the pun:black poor play was rightly "drilled" by Spassky. |
|
| Aug-22-11 | | horseboat: Judging by this game and his career record, it would appear that it was Neidermayr himself who was "worthless and weak"... |
