| Jan-08-04 | | Taidanii: 41...Qxb6 would have ended this game with a win for Kasparov. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
 |
| Jan-08-04 | | bilikidder: <Taidanii> Look at that open h-file. 41...QxR and it's over for Black. This isn't a class C game. |
|
| Jan-09-04 | | Taidanii: Yes, explain that. Yes, it's an open H file, so what? 41. Qxb6 and the white queen is forced to take. Someone give me exact notation of the losing outcome for black after 41. Qxb6. I don't see it at all, and don't believe that it's there. |
|
| Jan-09-04 | | AdrianP: <Taidanii> 41... Qxb6?? 42. Rh1+ Bh6 (42...Kg8 Rh8#; 42...Rh3 changes nothing) 43. Qxf2+ Kh8 44. Rxh6# |
|
| Jan-09-04 | | euripides: 41 Rb6 Qxb6 42 Rh1+ Bh6 (or 42...Kg7 43 Rh8 mate) 43 Qf7+ Kh8 44 Rxh6 mate. |

|
| Jan-09-04 | | Hidden Skillz: ye euripides dats what i thought too..eating the rook on b6 is game over.. |
|
| Feb-09-04 | | jmcvay1: That game should not have ended then |
|
| May-15-04 | | apple head: This was drawn by repetician |
|
| Jul-23-04 | | cjhasbrouck: I think it's possible that Kasparov could've taken the H-pawn on 34... 34... Kxh7
35. Qh4+ Kg8
36. Rh1 Bg7
37. Rcxd6 Rxd6
38. Rxd6
Anybody see any problems with this? I know it's just a series of exchanges but I'm curious anyway. |
|
| Jul-23-04 | | Cyphelium: <cjhasbrouck> Well, there is a problem with your variation. Playing 38. Rxd6 is not possible, since you put that rook on h1 at move 36. Anyway, after 34.- Kxh7, interesting is 35. cxb4. The obvious point is that black cannot take the pawn with 35.- Rxb4, since then the rook on d8 is lost after 36. Qh4+. The other point is that white gets his knight back into play (and to the best square too!) after, say, 35.- Kg8 36. Nc3 Rxb4 37. Nd5 Rb7. Then 38. Nf6+ Kg7 39. Nh5+ is likely to lead to a perpetual, since black can hardly go for 39.- Kh8 40. Rc8, but on the other hand white doesn't get anywhere after 39.- Kh7 40. Rh1 Bh6 41. Qh4 Qe3 either. So I agree with you, taking the h-pawn seems possible. But it seems white can go for a draw then. Maybe Kasparov wasn't interested in a draw at that point? |
|
| Jul-23-04 | | JSYantiss: applehead, nowhere in this game was a position repeated three times.....this game was NOT drawn by repetition. |
|
| Jul-23-04 | | hongisto24: do you remember that Leko scolded Kaspy for trying to win this on time in a drawn position?? |
|
| Dec-11-04 | | dbquintillion: anyone know of any other games with four queens? i played a game against my brother a year or two ago that had four queens on the board for 6 or 7 moves in the middle game until i blundered one of mine. |
|
| Dec-11-04 | | drukenknight: db look up Fischer/Petrosian, back in 1962 I think. I think its carokann but maybe french youll find it. |

 | | Chessical: <dbquintillion> I believe that <drukenknight> is referring to: Fischer vs Petrosian, 1959 You may also be interestd in thisn game collection:
Game Collection: Multi-queens! |
|
| Dec-12-04 | | dbquintillion: <chessical> Thanks! I figured there was such a collection but I couldn't find it. |
|
| Dec-12-04 | | iron maiden: <dbquintillion> You also might want to look at this five-queen game: Alekhine vs NN, 1915 |
|
| Jul-12-05 | | fgh: A very complex battle. Also an early example of Leko's great defensive skills. |
|
| Oct-21-05 | | alexandrovm: <fgh: A very complex battle. Also an early example of Leko's great defensive skills.> that he lacked a bit in the San Luis tournament... |
|
| Jun-11-06 | | spirit: any games with >5 queens on board????? |
|
| Sep-05-06 | | Kukka: There is a game "Nesis - Koshnitzkiy" (or something like that) with 6 queens on board but its authenticity is uncertain. The other >5 queen games "Van Hall - Krabbe" and "Sumpter - King" are definitely made up. |
|
| Oct-11-06 | | positionalgenius: A great fighting game between these two. |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: ...and he was winning |
|
| Mar-01-11 | | Blunderdome: Wow, what a game. |
