| Aug-03-08 | | Whitehat1963: Wednesday/Thursday puzzle after 31. Qc4. |

 | | Once: Please, please, please, CG, don't put the position after 24. Bg2 as a Sunday puzzle!
click for larger viewFrom here, black launches a series of tactical blows aimed at the white king. He seemes fairly well defended, with two knights and two bishops in attendance. But black rips away the defenders and sends the king to his death all the way up the board on h6. Stunning stuff. In the final position, black threatens both Rh5# and Bf8#. White can defend against the former (eg Rh1 or Qh4), but not the latter. |

White can defend against the former (eg Rh1 or Qh4), but not the latter.> For accuracy's sake, White can in fact defend against ...Bf8# as well, namely with Qxc5 (what's a mere queen in such a position?) and would indeed be able to save himself if not for the other mate threat. |

But yes, you are right. Qc5 does defend against Bf8# ... at the cost of allowing Rh5#. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: I can’t figure out why white did not play 24 Bxe4?!
That move looks like it frees his dark-squared bishop and reorganizes his game some. If 24…Nxe4, 25 Bf4.

 | | kevin86: It's funny to have a comment for a game and find that not only has it been made,but by myself at an earlier time. I guess good minds do think alike-in the 4th dimension.(I won't repeat it,but you can read my earlier comment-dated Oct 20,2004) This game does have a Lasker-era tinge to it. |

|
| Sep-22-08 | | I Offer You A Resign: Great game. I probably would never have seen those sacks. All of them were really awesome. |
|
| Feb-13-09 | | KERESOV: An Immortal game ! probably included as one of the best 10 games of all times together with Fischer's win against Donald Byrne in '56 and Botvinnik-Capablanca '38 ! |
|
| Oct-30-09 | | SirChrislov: Good Afternoon. This game is in the Chessmaster collection of Famous Games. Chessmaster calls it "A modern Evergreen". truly played in the romantic style of the old days. reminicsent of a Morphy or Anderssen. When I finished playing through it not too long ago, I was jaw dropped and speechless. |

|
| Sep-25-11 | | Rubberbandman: I think it would be safe to say this is VZ's immortal..
I wander if he was looking at playing this out to mate from move 25 onwards ?
Another game with great tactical shots either way...brilliant |
