| Whitehat1963: Fascinating and complex. Not sure what all is going on in this one. |

| notyetagm: Reshevsky didn't shake Vaganian's hand after this crushing defeat. |

| shr0pshire: I don't understand why the king takes a walk. Can anyone explain this? It looks like Reshevsky tries to go out of the book, but I think he blunders while he is at it. I wonder what he was trying to accomplish. |

| tamar: Found one previous game,
J Kostro vs Uhlmann, 1974
where white's king got trapped in a crossfire on f2. Kg3 probably looked safer, until 16...Bh4+!! |

| shr0pshire: Okay here are my thoughts on the lost king, after I have taken a step back and looked at the game. 9.kf2. I have seen this in the game
J Kostro vs Uhlmann, 1974
Huebner vs H Ree, 1982
I think the reason behind this move is mobility of the last rank. To get the queen and the rook connected for an assualt on the kingside. This is also why all the minor pieces are huddled against the king. 12. Kg3
I think this is when he leads his attack, with deploying many of his minor pieces, but with the king??? 16. ... Bh4! I think that black ruins white's plans with this move. The only reason I can think of for teh king move, is to move it out of the way so the back rank can clear, and start the attack. That's the best I got, this late at night. |

| iron maiden: What's 28. Bh6 supposed to be? A joke move before resigning? |

| notyetagm: <One of my favorite games.> 16 ...  h4+!! is just too much. |

| WMD: Looked at this with Fritz and it came up with an interesting defence with the pawn sac 18.e6. If then 18...Bxe6 19.Rf1 Qb4+ 20.Bf4 Qe7+ 21.Bg5 Black no longer has the reply...Qe6, as in the game. Then Black would appear to have nothing better than a perpetual with 21...Qb4+ 22.Bf4. Fritz, however, finds the killer move 20...g5+ (instead of ...Qe7+) which is curtains after 21.Kxg5 Ne5!. |

| AgentRgent: <notyetagm: Reshevsky didn't shake Vaganian's hand after this crushing defeat.> True, but according to Vaganian: "but later, at the prize ceremony, he walked up to me and congratulated me on a brilliant win." |

| suenteus po 147: <AgentRgent> That sounds like me when I'm in the heat of a game. A lot people tell me I'm one of the friendliest and most amiable guys you could ever play against. But sometimes when I lose, especially if it's a game I've been winning or holding even, my mind is consumed in the black cloud of anger, and my eyes see nothing but red. Of course, the next day when I'm thinking clearly it's, "hey, that was great win you played." |

| capablancakarpov: Vaganian comments this game at the end of this interesting article about him: http://www.newinchess.com/Archives/... |

| RookFile: Well, he's lucky Reshevsky didn't punch him in the face. The guy was a fighter. Just kidding. |

| hovik2003: J. Speelman in his book, Best Games of 1970-1980, analyzing this game he writes something like this " After Vaganian's 14...e5!! brilliant move, it is glorious to see how black pieces tearing off their chains and running right into the battlefield."
Indeed GM Vaganian is a vertuso on French Defense Winawer variation. |

| siggemannen: Although this game wasn't winaver but tarrasch :) |

| Davolni: wow, what a nice game by GM Vaganian:))) |
|

| hovik2003: King walk to g3 is common practice in this kind of opening(king have to move and can't go back to first rank to block the king's rook), but obviously Reshevsky's 14.Re1 was played to prevent black's liberating move 14...e5., but Vaganian assesing the position correctly and by calculating all variations atleast upto the 20...Qe6 to make his 14th move work he played 14...e5!! anyway. So Reshevsky should have played farsighted and hard to find move 14.h3! opening a hatch for his king, before attempting to charge on black's backward e pawn. |

| arsen387: according to Vaganian white's mistake was 14.Re1?, this is what he says about it
<This is evidently a mistake. 14.h3 was the right way to proceed, removing the king from the danger zone. I had been looking at this position for quite some time, contemplating various moves, when lighting
suddenly struck me from above: the f2 square, the f2 square! I started to calculate the consequences of 14...e5. It was imperative to see everything right up to move 20.> |

| zdigyigy: White says,"go ahead, baby, make my day". And black does just that. |

| WhiteRook48: why not 18 gxf3? |
|
| May-22-09 |
| Brown: If 18.gxf3 Qf2+ then
19.Ng3 Qxh2+ 20.Kg5 Qh6#
19.Kh5 Qxf3+ 20.Kg5 Qg4#
19.Kg5 h6+ 20.Kg6 Nxe5+ 21.Kh5 Qh2# |

| Walruspuppy: Ironmaiden, after 28 B-KR6, White's Queen gets some breathing room and attacks the KP. Some counter play may ensue depending upon where Black places his QR. Vaganian calmly plays his QR to KB1 and Reshevsky sees that he is playing solid and resigns.
Note also that Black was threatening at some point ... P-KR3 either trapping the bishop or forcing it away from protection of the Knight. 28 ... PxB 19 QXRP at least continues to protect the Knight in place of the Bishop. |

| Walruspuppy: I have not looked at the referenced annotations given above (thanks) but how about 25 QXRch KxQ 26 N-Q3 ch Q-KB4 27 RxQch NxR leaving White down a pawn but with opposite colored bishops. I think this would hold on for a draw. Comments? BTW, This game is found in The World's Greatest Chess Games by Burgess. |

<Walruspuppy> Sorry, but after 25.QxRch KxQ 26.N-Q3ch Black can cross check with 26...N-B4ch and save his queen. For the monolingual among you: 25.Qxf7+ Kxf7 26.Nd3+ Nf5+. |
