| WhiteRook48: wow. This has got to be a record for most consecutive captures on c3. |

| peirce: What about 30 Qe1?
Yes ,Qb2 it is a great move.
i once saw the game and thought
that White was right to resign.
But after the simple move Qe1
and think so anymore.
Qe1 both save the W Rook
and defends from backmate.
Benstein could have played
that move and go on play the game.
Did I overlooked something?

| Karpova: <peirce>
After 30.Qe1 White loses his rook to 30...Qxc3 (31.Qxc3 Rd1+ 32.Qe1 Rxe1#). |

| AnalyzeThis: < Can anyone explain the move 17 ...
Bb4 to me?>
Just that it's the sort of move the grandmaster makes, and we don't. |

| Ragh: 29..Qb2 is beautiful!! It looks simple but difficult to spot for beginners or even for the experts. |

| WhiteRook48: 29....Qb2!!! |

| birthtimes: According to Capa, 17...Bb4 was made in order to take the knight at a proper time and force a passed pawn. |

| bradfooks: what would be the black ending after 29 Qb2 30 Qf1 |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| sfeuler: <bradfooks> How about 30...Qxc3 and wins? |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| Whitehat1963: Capablanca's 29...Qb2 is one of the great moves in chess history, of course. What are some of the other obvious candidates? A few that come readily to mind, of course: Fischer's 17...Be6 against Donald Byrne, Rubinstein's 22...Rxc3 against Rotlewi, Marshall's 23...Qg3 against Levitsky, but I'll nominate a more obscure one: Maroczy's 19. dxe6. Other nominees, both obvious and less well known? |

| tamar: <Capablanca's 29...Qb2 is one of the great moves in chess history, of course. What are some of the other obvious candidates?> Botvinnik's 30 Ba3! versus Capablanca at AVRO is well known, but still startling. Botvinnik vs Capablanca, 1938 |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| Whitehat1963: By the way, my nomination of Maroczy's 19. dxe6 was against Schiffers. |
|

| Whitehat1963: I think it would be cool for Chessgames to have a poll or something to find out what members think are the 100 greatest moves in chess history. Those mentioned above might all make the list. |

| tamar: For sheer shock value, 31...R8e4 in Kramnik vs Shirov, 1994

|
| Sep-02-09 |
| Whitehat1963: Good choice. I also love Shirov's 33....Qxd5 in this game: Y A Saksis vs Shirov, 1985 |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| Whitehat1963: And I love Capa's 17. Rxd6! in this game: Capablanca vs M Fonaroff, 1918 |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| visayanbraindoctor: The most stunning move that I have ever seen is Kramnik's 18...Bh6 in M Brodsky vs Kramnik, 1991 Kramnik must have been only 15 years old. Any 15 year old able to play such moves in such a game must become world champion some day. |

|
| tamar: Pillsbury's 27 R4-f2 is the stunner in a series of "all in" moves in Pillsbury vs Schiffers, 1898 |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| visayanbraindoctor: If the criterion is beauty, Marshall's last move 23.. Qg3 in S Levitsky vs Marshall, 1912 must be considered. |

| tpstar: Tim Krabbe has an interesting compilation of the "Top 110 Most Fantastic Moves Ever Played" and places 16 ... Nc6 in Averbakh vs Spassky, 1956 as #1. http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess/f... |
|
| Sep-02-09 |
| visayanbraindoctor: If we consider the case of a SERIES of beautiful and stunning moves, then this is my favorite. Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907
22..Rxc3 23..Rd2 24..Bxe4+ 25..Rh3 |

| bradfooks: After 30 Qf1 Qxc3 31 h3 what would black play? |
|
| Sep-03-09 |
| Whitehat1963: At that point <bradfooks>, I think even I might be willing to play black's position against Rybka or anyone else. It would be just a matter of time. But, if you're being serious: After 30. Qf1 Qxc3 31. h3, how about 31...Qc2 with the intent of 32...Rd1 (threatening the queen)? After that, white's a-pawn is history. No grandmaster would play on. Only a computer would. Sooner or later, black would force an exchange and be left with either a queen or a rook to the good. Either way, white is finished. Bernstein knew it was over, so he wisely resigned. |

| paulalbert: <bradfooks> Are you overlooking that Black is ahead a whole Rook after Qxc3? Even if White avoids an immediate mate or loss of the Queen, Black has numerous routine plans to win this. That's why Bernstein resigned. Paul Albert |
