  Geronimo: Très cool! As a 1. d4; 2. c4 player myself this is a brilliant game to show naysayers (how many times have you heard players complain about the "boring" queen's gambit! I think black messes up a bit as early as 9...Nbd7, wasting development tempi for an unnecessary exchange of knights on e5. White is better of with (and ends up with) his light-squarred bishop on e5. Black would have been better castling and/or Ne6 instead. Even developing the queenside with b6 might be justifiable.(?)

  kevin86: Here is some nice seventh rank ballet by white.
Jul-12-04   themindset: quite brilliant.
Jul-12-04   Chesspatch: what if 27 ... Kg8? 28.Rh8+ Kf7 29.g6+ Ke6... What then? White has no continuation to win.
Jul-13-04   Kaspablanca: Chesspatch: What´s going on your head? The black king is on g8

Jul-15-04   Chesspatch: <Kaspablanca> The black king is on f7, my confused friend.

May-18-09   m0nkee1: seems black lost e5.... never tried to defend it....
May-18-09   randomsac: Wow! Quite an exciting game. Just as white begins to bust trough the kingside, black starts a queenside attempt. It was just a little too late... Great combination by Kogan

  Chessmensch: It must be tough being a GM on the losing end of this one.
May-18-09   TheChessGuy: <Phony Benoni> Thank you for the Hogan's Heroes joke! For the uninitiated, this was an American television program from the 1960's. It was a sitcom set in a World War II POW camp! How funny is that!? From Wikipedia, it has been released in a German dub, entitled "Ein Kafig voller Helden," a cage of heroes. Oberst Klink is portrayed as a stereotypical straitlaced, disciplined Prussian, while Oberfeldwebel Schultz is a loosey-goosey, informal Bavarian.
May-18-09   drpoundsign: Based loosely on the movie "Stalag 17."

Killer Queen Sac.

May-18-09   YetAnotherAmateur: Also possibly of interest, forced all the way:
23. ... bxc3
24. gxh7+ Kf8
25. h8=Q+ Bg8
26. Qg7+ Ke8
27. Qxg8+ Bf8
28. Qe6+ Be7
29. Qxe7#
May-18-09   arnaud1959: It's funny, after 27.Rxf7+ The Black King can go to 5 different squares. Not one of them is good.
May-18-09   WhiteRook48: this is a good game to watch, especially after playing a game as Black against an opponent who insists it's legal to move his bishop from b3 to e2.
May-18-09   Dredge Rivers: Kooooooooooooogaaaaaaaaaaannn!
May-18-09   I Like Fish: toooooo many vooooowels...
May-23-09   Dredge Rivers: <I Like Fish>
That was a reference to the TV Show "Hogan's Heroes". It was supposed to be Colonel Klink yelling.

Am I going to have to start annotating all my jokes? I mean, really!

Sep-17-09   WhiteRook48: 27...Kg8 28 Rg7+ of course wins
