Oct-29-05  BadTemper: Talk about blundering away a full point! HAHAHA! What a great finale!
Oct-29-05  BadTemper: White cannot stop mate including the threat of Kh3 haha
Oct-31-06  Whitehat1963: Find the worst move after 32...Kf5. (But wouldn't 33. Qg4 be an even worse move?)

  Caissanist: I suppose that the <absolute> worst move is a matter of taste. But I don't think that 33.Qg4 is quite as excrutiatingly bad as Qxh7, since black still has the plausible Qxg4. That move only wins the queen for a bishop, rather than forcing mate.

Of course after either move black can play Ke5, so it's more of a helpmate than a selfmate.

Nov-18-06  syracrophy: I don't understand why White didn't captured the B with the R on the moves 32 and 33, when it was still possible.

After 33...Kg4! 34.Rxb7?? it's impossible in sight of 34...Kh3!!<35.Kf1 Qd1#>

32.Rxb7 or 33.Rxb7 was saving White in my opinion. He's up a P and the position seems to be drawish

  GrahamClayton: White missed a simple win with 29. Rc1 Bd7 30. Rc7 Qb1+ 31. Kg2 Qe4+ 32. f3, winning the Bishop.
Sep-21-08  Autoreparaturwerkbau: <Graham> I was revising the game, stopped at the same move (29.h4?) and also wondered whether there was a flaw in 29.Rc1 (and so on - mentioned in your line). It seems to me the line is all good. White just didn't see it, or?

  sleepyirv: In a king hunt, you should always know where you're driving the king to!
Nov-06-09  WhiteRook48: 32 Qd3+?!
Nov-18-10  Tigranny: g4+ could've involved a queen exchange instead of Qxh7+??
Jan-05-12  Uvulu: <Tigranny: g4+ could've involved a queen exchange> I think Black has 32... Kf5, and then White has to give the exchange back to avoid mate. Still, that would be way better than Qxh7

  FSR: <And here is a ludicrous game. White punishes the enemy king with flailing blows and drives the monarch clear across the board to his own lair. And then--White resigns.>
