| rndapology: eh...the pawns sort of rotate around to provide a new back rank mate on the h file. |

| unclewalter: what if simply 30. ...fxg6? |
|
| Feb-23-04 |
| yoniker: fxg6 rook takes rook winning the exchange (black can't take back) |
|
| Feb-23-04 |
| JSYantiss: unclewalter, if 30...fxg6, then 31. Rxd6 wins at least the exchange. If 31...Qxd6(blunder), then Black's Queen will be effectively hanging due to the back rank threat by White. Black cannot recapture White's Queen with 31...Qxd6 32. Qxd6 Rxd6?? 33. Re8# |

| rndapology: yes, what jsyantiss said, the first thing i noticed was that if the kngiht were not there, i could take the rook and win the exchange or black would simply lose. So then i looked for ways to dump the knight that would yield advantage. |

| Calchexas: unclewalter: If 30. ...fxg6 31. Rxd6, then Black has about 15 ways to immediately lose the game and about 2 ways to lose the exchange, kinda like JSYantiss said. But with hxg6 losing the game immediately, you know what? I'd just go ahead and resign there. |

| noisome: I'd rather lose the exchange and hope for a blunder, even though at their level a blunder would be far and in between at this point, but what the heck. =p |

| kevin86: A brilliant and unique eighth rank mate!! I thought he would pin the queen at h3-of course,the text is so much better!! Just two days ago-CHESS LIVES!!! |
|
| Feb-23-04 |
| Calculoso: 34. Ree8 is infinitely better than Rh3. Good game and puzzle. |

| kevin86: Black can avoid the checkmate only at great cost.34... g5 35  h8+  g6 36 xh5 xh5 37 xa8 white is a full rook ahead! The exact same combination follows 34...h6 |

| eainca: 30....fg6
31. Qd6 should do nicely |

| Benzol: The end of this game reminds me of
Alekhine vs Colle, 1925
and Kasparov vs Karpov, 1985 |

| patzer2: Black blundered with 29...Rxd6??, allowing White the nice solution to today's puzzle with 30. Ng6+! Instead, the simple 29...f6!? holds the position for Black with good counterplay and winning chances. Fritz 8 initially gives best play as 29...f6!? 30. Nf5 g6 31. Ng3 Qg5 32. Qxg5 fxg5 33. Re7 g4 34. Nf1 Bc6 35. Rxd7 Rxd7 (+0.41 @ 15/43 depth & 739kN/s), indicating a slight White advantage. A second deep analysis continues 36. Ne3 h5 37. b3 cxb3 38. axb3 Kg7 39. Ra2 Kf6 40. Ra6 Be4 41. h4 gxh3 42. gxh3 Ke6 43. h4 Rxd6 (-0.50 @ 18/41 depth @ 723kN/s) with a Black advantage. A third deep analysis follows with 44. Rxa7 Rd3 45. Kh2 Rxb3 46. Kg3 b4 47. Kf4 Bd3 48. Ra8 kd6 49. Rd8+ Kc5 50. Ke5 Ra3 51. Rd5+ Kc6 52. f4 (-1.34 @17/41 depth & 751kN/s) with a clear and nearly decisive Black advantage. A fourth analysis gives a decisive Black advantage after 52...Be4! 53. Rd6+ Kc5 54. Nc4 <54. Nd5 Bf6 55. Rb6 Ra1 56. Rxb4 Re1+ 57. Kf6 Kxd5 (-3.75 @ 17 depth & 804kN/s)> 54...Kxc4 55. Kxe4 Ra5 56. Rxg6 b3 57. Rg2 Rb5 58. f5 b2 59. Rc2+ Kb3 60. Rxb2+ Kxb2 61. f6 Rb7 (-3.00 @ 18/70 depth @ 799kN/s). A fifth analysis gives the winning technique as 62. Kf5 Kc3 63. Kg6 Kd4 64. f7 Rb8 65. Kxh5 Ke5 66. Kg6 Ke6 67. h5 Ke7 68. Kg7 Rf8 69. Kg6 Rxf7 70. h6 Rf2 (-4.12 @ 22/37 depth & 1084kN/s) with best play continuing 71. Kg5 Kf7 72. Kg4 Kf6 73. Kg3 Rf5 74. Kg4 Rg5+ 75. Kf4 Rxh5 for the obvious Black win. PS: I thought of the 29...f6!? alternative without putting it to the computer, and was pleasantly surprised to find Fritz 8 verified my initial thought that best play would go 29...f6!? 30. Nf5 g6 etc. with a very defendable Black position. I wouldn't be surprised if White can't improve on Fritz's analysis, but it does appear that 29...f6?! might well turn the tables to put White in a defensive posture--struggling to find a draw against the Black initiative. |

| lordhazol: If there is a winner of course there is one loser too.If some player does good moves other must have been made some mistakes.Strong players awares of the mistakes of his opponnents and benefits as much as he can do.Mamedyarov has found the mistake of Timofeev and got a good benefit.Than its wasting time to find good moves for black.Cooking well done.Especially final of this game is unforgetable. |

| notyetagm: Magicdyarov strikes again with a beautiful combination involving the following tactical theme: clearance, double attack, x-ray, and weak back rank. |

| VishyAnandFan: <Jafar219> <Mamedyarov plays as Alekhine in this game.> the combination reminded me of a famous game of alekhine, if i'm not wrong, with exact the same motif! |
