Apr-03-03		refutor: grischuk gets my vote for the player who gets the weirdest endgames...between this and the rook v. 5 pawns v. shirov. after 25. ... Nf4 Black must have thought that he at least had a perpetual. 64.Rxh2+! was a very nice move

Apr-04-03		skakmiv: What about 26..Bf3?

Apr-04-03		Sneaky: I figure 26...Bf3+ 27.Rg5

Apr-04-03		morphynoman2: I want to know Fritz analysis of this mad game. Is this a record? White moved its king 22 times!! And not precisely in the endgame!

Apr-05-03		skakmiv: Sneaky: 26..Bf3+ 27.Rg5 Qh6?

Apr-05-03		crafty: 26. ... f3 27. g5 h6 28. g2 xg2 29. xg2 g6+ 30. f1 (eval 2.34; depth 15 ply; 100M nodes)

Apr-05-03		skakmiv: What if 28..Qh3?

May-12-05		Boomie9: Ok I think I found a forced win for black on move 34 did all the analysis myself so could be a mistake but 34...c5?? obviously a lemon I give 34...Qf3+ 35.Kd4 RxR+ 36.pxR Rd8+ 37.Kc5 Qf8+ 0-1 or.. 37.Bd5 pxB 38.Qg5 Qxkp+ 39.Kc5 Qc4+ 40.Kb6 Rd6 and ...Qc8 or...37.Bd5 pxB 38.QF4 pxp+ and if..39.Ke6 Re8+ 40.Kc5 Qc4+ 41.Kb6 (Kd6 also looses) Rd6+ 42.Kb7 black mates in a few...if 39.Kc5 Qd3! looks good.. white may have no defense but I got tired at this point if 40.QxB Qc4+ 41.Kb6 Rd6+ ect.. Would be great if someone could check my analysis..peace out

May-12-05		Boomie9: The funny part is if I'm right 25...Nf4 really deserves a ! (as does 33...Rxf4) coincidence these !s happened on the same square?..probably

May-12-05		Boomie: <Boomie9> I can't resist responding to my namesake. Although 34. f3+ leads to a winning position similar to the game, it is not as brutally efficient as c5 or the even more effective f5. After 34...f5, black is threatening mate in two. White can delay the inevitable by sacrificing everything. Especially amusing is Moro missed a mate in two at move 40! 34... f5 35. xg4 f3+ 36. d4 c5# 34... f3+ 35. d4 xe4+ 36. dxe4 d8+ 37. c5 f8+ 38. xc6 f6+ 39. xb5 b8+ 40. c4 e6+ 41. d3 xb3 40... d7+ 41. xd7 (41. a5 b6#) 41... a6#

May-12-05		Boomie9: well I realized earlier that Qf3+ was lacking due to the first line..so I rushed on this morning to post the true bone-crusher 34...Rf5!! 35.c4 c5! and white is a goner..but apparantly my alter ego has beat me to it! Grischuk could have looked like a genius and all his previous play would be justified had he taken the time to find this move!! what a funny game..the funniest part is though for some reason I though Boomie WAS ME!! I remember looking in the bio and seeing "play ideas, not moves" and thinking wow...thats a profound thing to say..and yet strangely I don't remember saying it! LOL

May-13-05		Boomie: <Boomie9> A hearty LOL back at you.

Oct-09-05		mego: 40)....Qb6 was very bad move .. I think 40).... Bd7! was enough move to for black to win

Mar-16-09		freeman8201: Phew... Alexander played a very risky King maneuver!
