Sep-27-04 | | notsodeepthought: The pun is so-so, but the game is great! |
|
Sep-27-04 | | Eatman: Some wild sacs by white to get a windmill (i believe that's the correct term in English) going. |
|
Sep-27-04 | | OneArmedScissor: Awesome game =] |
|
Sep-27-04 | | azaris: The finish is actually quite humorous:
29...♔h8 30. ♖xb7+ ♔g8 31. ♖g7+ ♔h8 32. ♖xa7+ ♔g8 33. ♖xa8+ and whatever Black does his queen drops: 33...♔h7 34. ♖h8+ ♔g6 35. ♖xh3
33...♔f7 34. ♘xg5+ and 35. ♘xh3
Almost like a composed textbook combination. |

 | | offramp: Here's another great game with a windmill, Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966. |
|
Sep-27-04 | | Marco65: What if 21...kxf7 ? |
|
Sep-27-04 | | Cyphelium: <Marco 65> 21.- Kxf7 22. Ng5+ Kg6 23. Qf7+ Kxg5 is forced, at least from black's perspective. Now 24. Qxg7+ Kh5 (24.- Kf5? 25. Qf7+ Kg5 26. Bf6+) 25. Qxh7+ Kg5 leads to a draw by perpetual, but no more it seems. (?) Anyway, white can win by playing 24. Bc1+ instead: 24.- Bf4 25. Bxf4+ Rxf4 26. gxh4+ Kg4 (or 26.- Rxh4) 27. Qxb7. |
|
Sep-27-04 | | JohnSilver: I'm of the same opinion, Cyphelium. |
|
Sep-27-04 | | Marco65: Thanks <Cyphelium>. I was trying 22.Nd8+ without success |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: After 29...Kh8 white can continue also 30.Ng5 threatening 31.Nf7# or 31.Rg6# which is unavoidable. |
|
Sep-27-04
 | | Honza Cervenka: <Marco65> 21...Kxf7 22.Nd8+ wins too: 22...Kg6 23.Qf7+ Kh6 (23...Kg5 24.Ne6+ Kh6 25.Bxg7+ Rxg7 26.Qxg7+ Kh5 27.Qxh7+ ) 24.Re6+ Rg6 25.Bxg7+ Kg5 (25...Kh5 26.Qf5+ Qg5 27.Qh3+ with mate.) 26.Rxg6+ hxg6 27.gxh4+ etc. |
|
Sep-27-04 | | kevin86: I especially enjoyed the lethal threats along the long diagonal.The queen sac is a great part of a great game. |
|
Oct-26-04 | | Apocalypse79: Black will lose both rook and queen.. Great !! |
|
Jan-22-06 | | dakgootje: Lashvili vs Nashvili ;-) |
|
Apr-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: 29...Kh8 30 Rxb7+ Kg8 31 Rg7+ Kh8 32 Rxa7+ Kg8 33 Rxa8+
<33...Kf7 34 Nxg5+>
<33...Kh7 34 Rh8+> |

 | | perfidious: The piquant finish also reminds one of Carlos Torre vs Lasker, 1925, the original windmill masterpiece. |

Nov-27-23 | | whiteshark: stroke upon stroke |
|
Nov-27-23 | | unspiek: How does this work, if Black plays 21. ... Bg3:!? The obvious reply 22. Rg7:+ Rg7: 23. Nd8+ leaves me wondering after 23 ... Kf8, instead of the crude blunder 23 ... Qc4: suggested by Reeh. |
|
Nov-27-23 | | whiteshark: <unspiek> Look out for candidate moves first!
<21... Bxg3 22. Rxg7+ Rxg7 23. Nd8+ Kf8>  click for larger view
White to move |
|
Mar-08-24 | | Helloween: <whiteshark> 24.Bxg7+ Kxg7 25.Qf7 + and the black Queen will be gone from a Re4 check in a couple moves |
