Dec-04-03   catfriend: Ng7 dosen't force the victory:
25..Nf6 26.Re3! (the best- u may check!) e5 27.B:e5 B:g2 28.B:Nf6 and only now mate in 5 28..Qg5 29.Q:Qg5 Rd8 30.Qh6 R:Bd3 31.c:Rd3 Bb7 32.Ne6 and Qg7 mate.

  patzer2: <Mack> Your suggested 25. Ng7 does work. But why complicate when you have a sure mate? Nonetheless, 25. Ng7 Nxg7 26. Rxd5 does win the white queen and makes for a pretty combination.
Dec-04-03   Johannes: I dont see this, but what's wrong with rook takes bishop? on move 25?

  patzer2: <Johannes> 25. Rxd5 also wins as does 25. Ng7, 25. Be4 and 25. Bd4. However, 25. Ne7+ is mate in four and the quickest win.

  nasmichael: Absolutely beautiful. I have not seen this game before today, and I love what I see. Confidence in Spielmann's hand, power behind each move. Using both the rule and the exception in balance, he dominates the lines of the board.

  nasmichael: <resignation trap> Thank you for the recommendation. I will visit them certainly.

From where do you write? This site allows for such distance to be covered. Do you have a lot of opportunities to play where you are?

I have the Atlanta Chess and Games Center here in Georgia. Good competition--nicknamed "The House of Pain". For good reason.

  Resignation Trap: I'm from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Very few tournaments are held within 40 miles of here, but Denver has many tournaments and is only about 100 miles south.

  nasmichael: That is a bit farther journey than I wanted you to say.

Although, when I am caught in traffic, I feel like I have 100 miles to travel to get to my tournament place as well.

  luzhin: Is it not better for black to play Qxf6 on his 19th move? A pawn will be lost, but that is surely better than succumbing to a mating attack.
Apr-11-07   Themofro: One of my favorite puzzles of all time, fell in love with it ever since i first saw it in a Reinfeld book.
Jun-27-07   Aware: genius
Aug-11-07   sanyas: This is the quintessential kingside attack game.

  nasmichael: I found this game years ago, and looking at it today, I am still extremely fond of it. Like other art, the magic refuses to fade from really beautiful pieces.
Jun-03-09   chillowack: This is a fantastic game, a real work of chess art. White's harmonious attack flows like a master painter's brush across a canvas, painting a beautiful scene stroke by stroke. I love Spielmann's creativity!
Jun-05-09   WhiteRook48: we must always use pins
Jul-04-09   Gouvaneur: Unbelievable game, what a beautiful attack!
Spielmannwas really an extraordinary tactician, using every pin, every fork, every tactical motive for his attack. You just have to love his way to coordinate his pieces, using his Bb2 to create some serious attack against the enemies king.
Oct-12-09   abstract: what kind of chess of is this ?? love it really love it, makes my heart beat with every move and especially the massive sacrifices... love it
Oct-17-09   WhiteRook48: 25 Ne7+!
Nov-22-09   Chessdreamer: Correction. Black resigned after 25.Ne7+. Additional moves were not actually played.
