| WannaBe: That is what you get for not playing the opening Sicilian, Taimanov (B45). |

| TheGreatNN: The game was lost before move 20. I think 7. ..c6 was a big mistake; does anybody know this opening? |

| TheGreatNN: On second thought, the game may have been lost before move 10, if 12. ..Kf8 should turn out to be no good. Otherwise I think 12. ..g6 was the losing move, although 13. ..Qc7 may have been better than the line played -14.Qf7+ Kf8 15.Qg7 Rf8 16.Qxh7. I don't see a forced win, but I certainly wouldn't want to be black. |

| OhioChessFan: c6 and d5 were awful. Black didn't have time for the transparent attack on the c4 Bishop. That wasted 2 moves and ended up giving the d file to White. Ne5 was also bad and simply gave away the e pawn. <TheGreatNN> shows a line marginally better than the game, but it's still lost. I'm sure you meant 14...Kd8 by the way. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Ok, let's not talk about the pun for this GOTD, but the game itself is great!! Taimanov got absolutely hammered at the end of the game! I especially love the position at move 38, Black has no other choice than to give up his e-pawn. |

| dakgootje: nice game with a very strange start the first 16 moves... |

| Koster: 5...Nc5 looked weird as soon as I saw it, so I wasn't surprised when the horse died 11 moves later. Estrin was later a correspondence champ who specialised in these gambit lines, so Sicilian was a better choice, or else 4...Nc6. |

| kevin86: Black makes a few bad moves early and fall a pawn down and suffers an isolated center pawn. White finally constrains black to one move at the end. |

| dakgootje: note that the 44.  a8-trick is maybe a little too easy for masters lvl. I think black had to resign far earlier. |

| Guest1825: I don't understand all the pawn moves that black makes in this game. <remilege> thanks, you cost me about an hour and a half perusing everything from goeller, even the kenilworth chess club games. I got 5/6 on the tactical endgame problems there. Still have work to do! Here's the link: http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/... |
