Sep-02-07   Whitehat1963: <cyruslaihy> I think <rinus> is correct and 24. Qf3 is much better than 24. Rxe5.
Sep-02-07   Whitehat1963: Still, I don't see what's wrong with the very simple 22. Rxe5. I'd think black would have resigned immediately.

  whiteshark: <Whitehat1963> There is nothing wrong with <22.Rxe5>, but it's only the second best choice. After 22.Rxe5 Nxe5 23.Qxe5 Bd6 (e.g. 24.Qd5 c6 25.Qf5 Rhf8 26.Qh3 dxc3 27.bxc3 Rae8) you have a tecnical win but a lot to archive it. This compared with all a.m. lines after 22.Qf7+ make Rxe5 only 2nd best.
Sep-02-07   CapablancaFan: <Whitehat1963: Still, I don't see what's wrong with the very simple 22. Rxe5. I'd think black would have resigned immediately.> Yeah I agree with <whiteshark>. Whitehat1963 your continuation is also indeed winning, but it does drag out the game unnecessarily for a few more moves. The move Polgar played just wraps it up a bit faster.
Oct-28-07   Whitehat1963: Still hopeless by that point, but wouldn't 22...Kc8 have been better for black?

Do you often do annotations like this?

Thanks.

Actually, I have done this many times. (I have no way of counting how many.)

  LIFE Master AJ: FM Steve Giddins, in the book, "50 Essential Chess Lessons," did a GREAT job of annotating this game! (Around 4 pages worth.)

My effort pales in comparison.

  blacksburg: of course she was cheating! look at these moves! 11.Ng5?!?! how could she possibly have found this move without Rybka? she's not even 2700!
Mar-12-09   Jim Bartle: Yeah, but the search might have been a little awkward.

Mar-13-09   Ladolcevita: Typical Polgar,she starts to attack the opponents without any reason:)

  whiteshark: <14...Ke7> looks like the only playable continuation. --> Svidler vs Anand, 1999
Apr-12-09   Andrijadj: Polgar was cheating...surely...I mean,it is impossible to beat great Mamedyarov without strong computer assistance...But,a great gentleman he is,he did not accused Polgar because she is female,after all...
