Jan-30-16 | | vajeer: I think 25. Ndf1 was a mistake. 25. Nb3 should have kept White in the game. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hello,
This game was actually played in the 1988 Bundesliga match Koblenz v Solingen. Not the 'Ch FRG (1988)'. Correction slip submitted. |
|
Oct-31-16 | | RookFile: Wow, I didn't see this coming, and think white can be forgiven for missing it too. The amazing imagination of Boris Spassky! |
|
Feb-05-17 | | AlicesKnight: 26.... c5 looks so innocent as a deflection; it looks as if he had seen the gift at once after Nf1? when he played ...Ra3 with threats of ....Rxd3 and ...Qxf2, and White in covering this missed the gem. |
|
Feb-05-17 | | erimiro1: Kind of James Bond move, so I prefer the name "THUNDERBALL". It also brings me to the Kronstien-McAdams game from "From Russia with love", that also was based on Spassky (Spassky-Bronstien, of course. |
|
Feb-05-17 | | Sularus: What a money shot! reminds me of that game where the players were allegedly showered with gold pieces. |

Feb-05-17 | | morfishine: Another gem of a game scarred by having a dump truck load of manure (= game title) dumped on it truly sad

|
May-26-18 | | takchess: So is this game a modern immortal game ? Thoughts ? |
|
May-26-18 | | Isilimela: 28 ... Qf3!! is a lightning strike / bolt from the blue! Bravo Boris! |

1.........Qf3
2.gxf3....Nf3+
3.Kh1.....Bh3
3.Bxe1....Bg2# |
|
Jul-18-21 | | sudoplatov: Spassky did suggest erecting a statue to Frank Marshall (and probably Morphy). Andruet joins Janowski and Paulsen. I don't know of other games with the Queen sacrifice on f3 (of f6) to force mate; Fischer's game against Benko comes to mind. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | Brenin: 28 ... Qf3 is so tempting. Mate on g2 is threatened, and if 29 gxf3 then 29 ... Nexf3+ 30 Kh1 Bh3 and Bg2 mate. White can only postpone the end momentarily with moves like Qe4 dxe4, or Qxg6+ fxg6. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | jrredfield: Black needs to get his Bishop to h3 to create the inescapable mating net with his two Knights. So 28 ... Qf3 eventually will lead to White capturing with the g pawn allowing 30 ... Bh3. Mate follows a few moves later. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | saturn2: It has to start with 28...Qf3. If instead 28...Bh3 white has the one and only one 29.f4. Otherwise it would be the same trick. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I went wrong with: 28...♘ef3+ because after 29. gxf3 ♕xf3, there's no way to avoid the check-mate. So the answer will be: 29. ♔h1 ♗h3 30. ♗xe8 (or other similar moves) 30...♗xg2#. The remaining answer is 30. gxh3 ♘e1 31. ♖exe1 ♕f3+ 32. ♔g1 ♕g2# or White will lose the ♕ (you know: the King loves to capture the opponent's ♕: 31. f4 ♘xc2 32. ♗xe8 ♘xe3 33. ♘xe3 ♕e6 34. ♗b5 ♖xe3 35. ♖xe3 ♕xe3 and check-mate in 2. The 28... ♕f3! is wonderful, I didn't see it. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Fun one.
It's easy to see that Black can enforce a knight at f3, but that does nothing on its own. A little more poking around confirms that White has a solid defense on the dark squares, and any mate will have to focus heavily on the light ones. From there the solution is easy. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | saturn2: White can desperately try e4 followed by Ne3. But this comes one move too late and Black can als take the Ne3 with the rook. |
|
Dec-14-22 | | ycsidney: It’s surreal! |
