 | | Marmot PFL: <talchess2003: how is this a noteable game?> How often do you see a future World Champ get mated in 27 moves? |
|
| Nov-07-06 | | schnarre: <Marmot PFL> Good question, lol! |
|
| Feb-28-07 | | Dr.Lecter: I never figured Ponomariov for such a creative player. Looks like I'm still learning. |
|
| Jun-21-07 | | Manic: <Dr.Lecter> by the sounds of your comment, it sounds like you think Ponomariov won, or was that comment sarcastic? |
|
| Jul-01-07 | | IMDONE4: Pono lets himself get smothermated? |
|
| Oct-13-07 | | casecloser: Pono let grishchuk mate him out of respect, such a beautiful combination should be respected, great sponsorship, even better game, i love this game for its clean sweeping attack, good way to learn how to play against alekhine |

| May-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: "Philidor's Legacy" was not found by Philidor |
|
| Jul-26-09 | | WhiteRook48: gee, Pomo missed that? |
|
| Oct-10-09 | | tanuri: sometimes when i get smothered, i let the guy mate me just to respect the beauty of it haha resigning isnt that pretty.. that what pono did |

 | | kevin86: Viva! Philidor! The pun falls into a gray area since "gris" means gray in some languages. |

 | | playground player: I thought, when your rating got to be around 2700, you were supposed to become immune to smothered mates. |
|
| Oct-10-09 | | Chess Addict: No, "Bird" is the word!

|
| Oct-10-09 | | WhiteRook48: gris, instead of noir (French black) |
|
Oct-10-09
 | | fm avari viraf: Neither "Gris" nor "Bird" is the word. It's Grisly vs Ruslan. |
|
| Oct-10-09 | | Sydro: Gris is pig in my language. |

| Jun-11-11 | | DrMAL: With these two teenage top GMs the game was already exciting before move 1. Ponomariov must have felt a wee bit upset with himself after he played 22...Qb4 DOH! Brilliant game anyway, white had built a very strong initiative and 22...Qc6 was already forced with nearly winning advantage to white. Pressure! |

 | | Nightsurfer: Funny coincidence: 30 years before this game here <A Grischuk vs R Ponomariov, Torshavn 2000> that elementary version of THE GREAT SMOTHERED MATE - executed by the BIG BAD THREE Queen plus Back-up Bishop plus Horse und first having been demonstrated in NN vs Greco, 1620 - has been composed some hundred miles downsouth in Uelzen, Germany: T Peine vs V Budde, 1970 |

| | Nightsurfer: When Novices of The Noble Art of Chess first get taught the GREAT SMOTHERED MATE they normally do not get demonstrated this finish here in <A Grischuk vs R Ponomariov, Torshavn 2000 > , namely the strike by the Big Bad Three, that is to say: Queen plus Back-up Bishop plus Knight combined - thus being one of the two basic versions of the GREAT SMOTHERED MATE that has been demonstrated 380 years ago in live play by Italy's All-time Maestro <G Greco > , please compare NN vs Greco, 1620 - , but the somewhat more recent version, namely the SHOCKING BLOW OUT OF THE BLUE by Queen plus Knight. The latter is called "Philidor's Legacy", but has been realized by Maestro <G Greco> many years before Le Cher Monsieur Philidor: NN vs Greco, 1625 The latter version NN vs Greco, 1625 - though it is not the oldest one - is considered to be the most basic version of the GREAT SMOTHERED MATE , therefore it is fair enough to call it "VERSION NO. 1" of THE GREAT SMOTHERED MATE (the fact notwithstanding that it is the slightly "younger" version of the GREAT SMOTHERED MATE). Some more samples of VERSION NO. 1 of the GREAT SMOTHERED MATE aka "Philidor's Legacy":
Morphy vs Schrufer, 1859 ,
B Koester vs R Gralla, 1971 , C Bloodgood vs B Evans, 1961 , S Duron Godoy vs V Garcia Castro, 2004 and
K Bischoff vs K Mueller, 2004 . |

 | | Richard Taylor: The great move in this game was 21 Bd8 restricting Black's Q-side development. Before seeing this on here I'd played this over about 20 times! |
|
Oct-31-12
 | | perfidious: This is the first time I have seen this game, and 21.Bd8 is a pleasing quietus to Black's hopes of ever getting his pieces out of the box as he finds himself bound hand and foot. |
