| Sneaky: This is the game that surely inspired Nigel Short's famous Kh2-g3-f4-g5-g6 manuveur against Jan Timman. It's always humorous to see the King play an offensive role before the endgame arrives. |

| Sneaky: No, if Black tries 35...Qc5+ then 36.Kxh6 |

| rochade18: Did I really suggest Rg5?? Ridiculous! |

| DutchDunce: Of course, Rg5 might inspire Nigel Short's famous Re6 against Krasenkow :P |

| aw1988: <rochade18: If Black tries 35...Qc5+ then Rg5> Join the club. I've sometimes suggested in a joint analysis that white drop a queen and not even realize it myself. |

| Whitehat1963: Player of the day takes his king for a walk. Who were these "consultants" anyway? |

| azaris: <Who were these "consultants"> Perhaps it was Arthur Andersen, the lost twin brother of Adolf Anderssen? |

| vonKrolock: Somewhere in this site we discussed, some time ago, about the identity of a fictive player named 'Beratende' - this simply means 'Consultants' in German, or 'Allies', as preferred in English: 'Beratende' appears in a Dover Editions' version of Pachman's "Strategy" - well, again the mistake is repeated by a Chess author http://www.chesscafe.com/grivas/gri... |

| Chessmensch: Some interesting stuff that might bear on this (and is worthwhile reading otherwise): http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/....
Still, Allies' record is awful. |

| fm avari viraf: Usually, the King's role is in the end game but there are rare instances like this one Where the King marches on & plays a vital role in the foray. |

10...Bg4, 13...Nc6, 16...Rxd4!  , 22...Qd2, 24...Rf7, 26...h5, 29...Qd3+, with equality in each case (or a win in the case of 16...Rxd4). |

16...Rxd4! 17.Rxd4 b5! 18.Qxb5 Nxd4 would have been winning for black. |

| patzer2: White's 32. Rg3! deflects the Black Queen off the g-file and prepares 33. fxg6  with a decisive mate threat, after which the White King has to march from under pawn cover and survive a few spite checks. |

| fred lennox: To appreciate the brilliancy of this game just look at the position after move 27. Black king does not look seriously threatened. White's king does not look at all like a serious threat. Yet what follows proves otherwise. Such subtle harmony of pieces allows white to create a decisive attack with a simplicity worthy of Rubinstein. |
