 | | patzer2: See the definitions "decoy" and "obstruction sacrifice" in the Chess Dictionary at National Master Pete Prochaska's "Chess Odyssey site at http://www.angelfire.com/games5/che... . The surprise move 32. Bg6+!, is a decoy because it forces a piece (either the King or the Rook) to capture on g6. If the Rook captures, 32...Rxg6, it obstructs his King's flight square and allows 33. Qe7#. If the King captures, 32...Kxg6, White mates with 33. Qh5#. With either capture (32...Kxg6 or 32...Rxg6) a piece is forced to occupy g6 making it a decoy. However, it is an obstruction only if the Rook recaptures (32...Rxg6). So this game and 32. Bg6+ is moving to my "decoy" collection. P.S. <offramp> Hope you're doing well and everything is OK. |

| Nov-14-06 | | BipolarChessorder: Where's the win after 24....Rg1+ 25. Ke2 Rxa1? |
|
| Nov-14-06 | | NBZ: Rg1+ Ke2 Rxa1 Qxf6+ Kd7 Qf4! looks very dangerous with the twin threats of Qd6+ and Nf6+. When the queen moves to avoid the fork (say Qg6 or Qh8), White plays Qd6+ Ke8 Bh5! Qxh5 Nf6+ wins the queen at last |
|
| Jun-17-07 | | jdoliner: Wow this is a poster game for the swallow tail mate formation, White is threatening both variations to win this game |

 | | Eyal: <NBZ: [24...]Rg1+ Ke2 Rxa1 Qxf6+ Kd7 Qf4! looks very dangerous with the twin threats of Qd6+ and Nf6+. When the queen moves to avoid the fork (say Qg6 or Qh8), White plays Qd6+ Ke8 Bh5! Qxh5 Nf6+ wins the queen at last> It doesn't quite work, though, since Qxh5 is played with a check... However [24...Rg1+ 25.Ke2 Rxa1] 26.Nxf6! is winning, e.g. Qf7 27.Ng4+ Kf8 28.Ne5 Qf5 29.Be4 or 26...Qg6 27.Nd5+ Kf7 28.Qe7+ Kg8 29.Nf6+ Carlsen's exchange sacrifice in this game was very creative, but perhaps not completely sound (even though it succeeded in practice). In any case, 22.Qxh7 - instead of Qe5 - was definitely a mistake, since Black would be winning after 22...Qxd4. And Black could still have a draw with 29...Be6 instead of Bd7??, where apparently White has nothing better than forcing a perpetual by 30.Qh5+ Kf8 31.Qc5+ Kf7 (31...Re7 32.Bf5 Kf7 33.Bg4 would get Black into trouble) 32.Qh5+ etc. But then Gretarsson wouldn't get to be remembered in chess history as losing a beautiful game to 13-year-old Carlsen... |

 | | egilarne: Magnus was still 12 years old - the game was played on the 4th of October, and Magnus became 13 the 30th of November - but it was a 12 year old IM rated 2450 - - - :) - according to the rating list of the 1st of October 2003. |

| Feb-02-08 | | Zygote: Apart from the comments which you guys have to make on this poor GMs name, there is not much else negative to be said about him... he became a GM (if a weak one) which is more than most people can do.... |

click for larger view<patzer2: The winning 32. Bg6+! is a stunning deflection move by the young Carlsen. The capture of the bishop is forced.> Position after 32  e4-g6+! 1-0
click for larger view<If 32...Kxg6 33. Qh5#,> (VAR) Position after 32 ...  f7xg6 33  c5-h5#
click for larger view<and if 32...Rxg6 33. Qe7#. > (VAR) Position after 32 ...  g7xg6 33 c5-e7#
click for larger viewSo 32 e4-g6+! leads to two -different- <EPAULETTE MATES>! This Carlsen is really something else: he was only 12(!)-years old when he played this game! Holy criminy! |

| Aug-24-08 | | jsteward: somebody,anybody! give me a clean logical continuation to win for white after24...Rg1+! |

 | | norcist: lol i don't know about clean and logical but here is a line that i just examined 24.)...Rg1+? 25.)Kd2 Rxa1 26.) Nxf6 Qf7 (the best square i can find) 27.) Nd5+ and then its just a matter of picking ur poison.
28.)...Kd7 loses to 29.) Bh5 Qg7 (otherwise its checkmate or fork on the next move) 30.) Nf6+ and Black will lose his Queen on the next move |

 | | MrMelad: Great game, pun for the contest: "The ace against the great ass" lol :) |
|
| Jul-15-09 | | Notagm: 24... e5 was a howler by Black, opening the file on which his King was located. |

| | notyetagm: <Sneaky: This opening is all the rage at the highest levels, and the club level too. In a 15-minute game with a strong player, I gobbled the pawn and then tried the cheeky 8...Nh6!? My opponent went straight for 9.Rxg7? falling for my little trap, as ...Qf6! forks rook and knight.> A well-known trap in this opening.
9 g1xg7?? d8-f6! <fork: g7,f6>

| | notyetagm: <offramp: 32.Bg6+ is a Stoke-Adams attack which harmonizes the squares e7 & h5 so that they become conjugate squares.> WTTF???? |

| Oct-11-10 | | sizu: In reply to norcist:
I like 24.)...Rg1+? 25.)Kd2 Rxa1 26.) Nxf6 Qf7 27.) Nd5+ Kd7 28.) Bh5 Qxh5! leaving a lone Queen agains 2 Rooks and a Bishop. Wonder who would win at that point? |

 | | sevenseaman: Carlsen always comes around with heavy artillery. |
|
| Jun-22-11 | | morphyrulez: I felt a chill down my spine after 32.Bg6+ even though I'm used to seeing sacrifices. |

| May-17-12 | | Llawdogg: Magnus kicked his ass! |
