| Feb-05-06 | | khense: White looked bad by about the first half of the game. But black did a good job of making sure that he won. |

 | | WannaBe: What a wonderful game! I'll have to look at/study more of his games. |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | alefromitaly: Very nice and instructive to me (nice pun too ^_^). |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | Cogano: <al wazir> Thank you for pointing that out. I'll have to study that opening to
better understand this game & its subtleties! Have a great day! |

| Feb-05-06 | | ice lemon tea: wow...boleslavsky has a very accurate calculation for exchanging pieces... in 21..Bxf1, the queen offered is indeed not a sacrifice. its an exchange for the white queen in the next couple of moves ahead. through a very accurate calculation, he win a bishop for the endgame which means a good advantage... |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | McCool: I was hoping someone could tell me what happened when <aw1988> and <dakgootje> kibitzed, on Feb-05-06, and then when the next person kibitzed <psmith> the date is Feb-04-06. |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | tuffy13: <McCool> think about the time zones the three might live in |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | psmith: I think chessgames.com's clock was accidentally reset (mixing am and pm) so that this gotd showed up at noon on Saturday Feb 4, but the chessgames server thought it was early morning on the 5th. By the time I posted it was fixed. |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | Toporagno: <Peter Reeve> 23.Re1 Ref2 24.Re7 and Black must exchange and loose. I think the best response to 23.Re1 is Bh3. However I can't find a clear win for Black from here... Can somebody help please? |

 | | kevin86: Great finish:the discovered check win and the proceeding queen sac is as exciting as it is unexpected. Go Steelers! |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | psmith: <Toporango> I'm guessing there's a quicker win, but isn't the pawn ending after 23. Re1 Rxe1+ 24. Qxe1 Rf1+ 25. Qxf1 Bxf1 26. Kxf1 Kf7 a win for Black (because of the queen-side pawn majority and White's crippled King side pawns)? |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | backyard pawn: 25...,Bc6! I wish I could think like that. Instead I was looking at the obvious, but not advantageous, Rd2, which leads to both sides with a rook surviving. Instead, Boleslavsky ends up with the material advantage of a bishop, and obtains the objective of "trading down." Very excellent finish! |

 | | dakgootje: no its just that we, thats to say < aw1988> and me, are so fast we can post before others while living already the other say ;-) Ow and sorry but the timezone-theorie doesnt really make sense as the dates have nothing to do by where or by who there is kibitzed, but its all about the time at the chessgames.com server. They had a little problem with the time which is why we were able to kibitz on todays puzzle and GOTD yesterday. Then the problem was fixed and thus there now still is a little date problem but that doesnt matter too much... |

| | dakgootje: post scriptum: <psmith> Yeah your probably right but when i said i thought white was okay, i suspected it, didnt calculate anything ;-) |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | schnarre: I think I join the crowd in saying "Great pun!" |
|
| Oct-24-06 | | Suzuki50: <EmperorAtahualpa> <Peter Reeve> <psmith> <Toporango>
If 23. Re1, then 23...Bh3 24. g4 Rf4 (it's a kind of zugzwang for white, te also explains why black played 22... Bg2!) |

| Jun-19-07 | | LIFE Master AJ: I have annotated this game for my website, (see the link, http://www.lifemasteraj.com/old_af-....) |
|
| Jun-19-07 | | scholes: why not exchange queens with 4.dxe5 forcing the black king to move? |
|
| Jul-25-08 | | arsen387: 22..Bg2! is a cool move keeping the B on a8-h1 diagonal, which is essential for the attack to succeed. While watching my first reaction was to play 22..Bh3 which will lose of course, as white K will have the h1 safe square. |

 | | sevenseaman: Bole's clarity of thought and execution of plan is striking. He has produced a masterpiece.
Amazingly via 25. Qf1+ White walks into the very discovered check Bole was looking for. As if a premeditated way of resigning. |

 | | Cemoblanca: There's a Bobby Fischer game with the same motive. Well, I don't know exactly which 1, but he played his Queen back to f1 after a check on c1, because his Bishop was on d5 and his Rook on f7, etc. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <Cemoblanca> I believe you're thinking of this position, from Fischer vs J Sherwin, 1957:

| | Cemoblanca: Bingo <Phony Benoni>. ;) Just a few days ago, I had downloaded a games collection of Bobby called "Fischer's Finest" and there are 2 games with Sherwin and I didn't know exactly which 1. ;) The other 1 was also a Sicilian (Rossolimo Variation) and was played in the same year (1957). Therefore it was a bit annoying. Great game too (18.Nxh7!!). Here it is: Fischer vs J Sherwin, 1957 By the way: I like your game collections too. Very good job. Keep it up. :) |

| | Cemoblanca: Game Collection: Second American National Tournament (NY 1913) What a great collection <Phony Benoni>. Very well done. Thank you. :) |
