| DeepBlade: This opening is like chaos, all the pieces run around the board like crazy, snatching some pieces or pawns. But what amazes me is that after the whole chaos the position becomes crystal clear. Atalik launched a nice mate attack, that starts right after 18. ...Qh1 (capturing the Rook). But frankly, Blacks pieces are all cornered, whilst White's pieces are centered, with a lot of influence on the center, and with serious mate potential. If you ask me to play this opening as white, Id play it. |

| JSYantiss: 26...Kf8 is also available here, but 27. Qg7+ Ke8 28. Bf6 is curtains for Black. |

| sahmattr: Atalik plays as if he were a romantic player like Blackburne or Morphy. His double rook sacrifice reminds me these masters' art works. |

| Reggie T: My opponent play 16..Re8 on the same variation, and same result! :) R Tremblay vs G Taylor, 2005 |

| PEANUTS: Following the Mammoth book, I like 21... Rxf2, but then after 22. Kxf2 Nc2!? as a possible try. Best might be 23. Bf7 Qe1+ 24. Kf3 Qd1+ 25. Kg3 Kg7 26. e6+ Kf8, and now I think 27. Bc3 Qe2 28. Bb4+ Nxb4 29. Qxb4+ wins, while 27... Qc1 is not so clear. Probably Black has to sac the knight at e3 and and the two bishops will dominate the endgame. |

| plang: Sokolov indicates that 15 Qxe5+?!would be answered by 15..Be6 16 Bxe6..0-0!.
In a game played in the USSR in 1932 Rauzer played 16 Qxe5 against Konstantinopolsky and lost after 16..Qd1+ 17 Ne2..Qxh1 18 d5..f6 19 Qh5..Qb1. Voted the best game in Informant 71 and 17 dxe was voted the best opening innovation. |

| kkshethin: <DeepBlade> <Also happens to me, I start a devastating attack, but I end up with huge positional disadvantage. 26. ...Kg8
(only move left, thus forced)
27.Qg7++
(Sah mat, still used in Turkey)>
No, game may go
26.Qd7+ Kf8 27.Bg7+ Kg8
28.Bh6 Qxh2+ 29.Kxh2 Rd8 30.Qg7#
By the way, same happens to me also (I start a devastating attack, but I end up with huge positional disadvantage) |

| Peligroso Patzer: An interesting idea for Black (found by Fritz) after 21.Bxe6 would have been 21...Rxf2! to expose the White King and to bring the a8-Rook into play with tempo. The plausible continuation 22.Kxf2 Rf8+ 23.Kg3 Qe1+ 24.Kh3 Kg7 25.Bc4 Qf2 is probably somewhat better for White (due to the strong e5-pawn), but (unlike the game) the Black pieces are comparably active to White's and, if Black can survive to a long endgame, he does have a 3-vs.-1 pawn majority on the Q-side. Note that in the line above, although the a1-Knight is hanging (after 25. ... Qf2), after 26. Bxa1 Rf5 27. e6+ Kh6 White will need to sacrifice one of his Bishops (28. Bf6 or 28. Be2) to avoid a perpetual or worse. |

| Peligroso Patzer: One other interesting tactical point in this game is that at White's 24th move, 24. exf7+ would have been another way to win, but 24.Qe5? would have been a blunder allowing Black to draw: 24. ... Rf3+ 25.gxf3 Qg1+ 26.Kh3 (certainly not 26.Kf4?? Rf8+  ) 26...Qf1+ =. |

| fm avari viraf: When one's belly is empty, brian ceases to think logically. Here, as if Atalik was treating hungry Sax with a delicious cusine in a Mediterranean Restaurant & when it came to pay bills Sax's wallet went empty. A very lively & enjoyable game. My pun would be "Poor Sex" |

| arnaud1959: If I remember well, this variation was Atalik's home preparation and it contains one of the best novelties (I don't know which move) of that time. |

| DarthStapler: Mine would be "Gyula falls to sacks" |

| Granny O Doul: I'll go along with pp, but "Unprotected Sax" is good enough. Don't be too wordy. |

| kevin86: Greed does not succeed! Black cleaned out most of the back row but was unable to hold back the small,but effective attack by a small force of Atalik. Atalick! Atalick! toujours Atalick! |
