| patzer2: The tactical ending to this this GM English game is amazing and entertaining! Fritz 8 validates Ian's Rogers strong play, indicating white has a clear advantage after 23. Nd4! Acs should have replied 23...Rc8, conceding White only a clear advantage. Instead Black plays the not so obviously losing 23...Nxf1??, allowing Rogers several pretty combinational options, including the pretty finish in the game continuation. |

| Hinchliffe: Quite right patzer2 a super entertaining game. I assume that in your continuations the + sign indicates an advantage to white?
Thanks for your hardwork it adds another dimension to the game. Cheers |

| aragorn69: Mad piece play and ingenious tactics : another one for a GM Ian Rogers' anthology ! And... so glad Fritz confirms the validity of it (-; |

| brucejavier: Another strong game by the GM Ian Rogers from Australia, he really had to think deep to come threw with the whole point. Unfortunately not active anymore due to health problems. |

| hzwk6j: Peter Acs has also kind of retired since. He won the junior world championship in 2001. In 2003 Jan he reached his maximum ELO (2623). Since then he plays only in the Hungarian team championship and already started a career away from the chessboards. |

| Once: An unusual double rook sacrifice in order to open lines (especially diagonals) against the black king. Those two bishops did an incredible job. Anyone decipher the pun? |

| kevin86: I was amused how white's king gobbles up the knights on his first row-looked like "king pacman"-lol |

| Phony Benoni: What did you expect for a pun? Acs murderer? |

| Notagm: What if 14...exd3? |
|
| Apr-08-09 |
| Notagm: Also, how about 18...Nxb2, followed by 19...Nxd3, or even 19...Bxd3? |

| WhiteRook48: what a lame pun!
"White Acsing Strange"
"Roger, stop doing that! Roger, don't Acs like that!" |

| TheChessGuy: It's pronounced "Ash," not "Axe." Cs is a digraph in Hungarian, and the surname Acs means "Carpenter." Of course, the proper name order is Acs Peter, but that's splitting hairs. |

| Agent Bouncy: I'm not sure if that's right, Chessguy. I think Hungarian "cs" is the equivalent of English "ch" not "sh". |

| mccarthpm: I played IAN ROGERS ina simultanous at the AMP centre in sydney when he was 15yrs old in 1976-he was tipped to be australia's first grandmaster and became so-his best games are agaist zhong zhang and his specialty was the scandinavian opening-he has played karpov/kasparov with no succes but was of their vintage |

| qwwqwwq: 14...exd3 also caught my attention Notagm,
I calculated 15. cxd5 Rxe2 16. Qf4 Ne7 17. Bxg7! Kxg7 18. d6 Be6 19. dxe7 Qxe7 Black has a passed pawn but suffers an exposed king, probably favoring white |
