| karlzen: <chessfected>, Black is definitely doomed in the ending after Qxg2+ since his knight on a5 is terrible and the h7-knight is in a lot of trouble, as it's still pinned. Black can resign after Rf3. If black instead tries 24.Rh4 Rg7 25.c3 Qe2 then white wins with the simple 26.g3 Qe5 27.Nxg7 Qxg7 28.Rff4. White can take on g7 immediately and play g3 and Rff4 with the same outcome. |

| kevin86: This is an old "problem" turned into a gotd. Not only is the game good,but the banter among the kibitzer is a hoot! I miss ferociousbeast-and his detractors. Bad chess but a goot version of point/counterpoint. |

| chessgames.com: We actually didn't notice it was a previous puzzle when we picked it. We picked this problem because we are working on the new "Sacrifice Explorer", and when the software analyzed this game all sorts of bells went off. For starters you have a Knight+Bishop sacrifice, then in the end the Queen is offered. |

| misguidedaggression: If you miss FerociousBeast, I could always fill in for him. After all I am rated 2700+ USCF (even though I'm obviously around 13 and the youngest 2700+ is in his mid/late 20's), can play better than any grandmaster(but I have better things to do), and could beat any kibitzer any day of the week (just don't actually chalange me to a game, because I won't respond). >:) |

| aw1988: Didn't Sutovsky mention this is his favorite tactical game (which he played)? |

| notyetagm: You just have to love the forced mate in 6 which ends the game: 24  xh7+!! xh7 25 h4+ g6 26 h6+ g5 27 h4+ g4 28 e3+ g3 29 f3#.This game won an Informant Best Game Prize with a hefty 75 points, including 10 from LarryC, and made the second edition of Emms, Burgess, and Nunn's "World's Greatest Chess Games". |

| DeepBlade: It looks more like a Sicilian steered towards the Kings Gambit. |

| notyetagm: This game by Sutovsky provides one of the best examples that I have ever seen of the power of a White f5-knight. |

| ToTheDeath: The queen sacrifice is trivial. It leads to a forced mate, thus it's one of the easiest moves to calculate. What is really amazing are the initial sacrifices on c4 and h6. They look unsound at first until you start analyzing the variations, and black comes up short on the kingside in every one of them. E.g.
15...Ne8 16 Qg4 Bf6 17 Rae1 cxd3 18 Rxe8 followed by Bxg7. 16...Kh8 17 Rxf6 Bxf6 18 Qh5
17... Re8 18. Rf3 Kg8 19. Rh3
Brilliant game. |

| notyetagm: Dr. John Nunn has a new book coming out in January called "Grandmaster Secrets: Winning Quickly At Chess" (http://gambitbooks.com/books/GMSWin...).
It is an expanded update to his earlier "101 Brilliant Chess Miniatures", which was published in 1999 and ended with Ivanchuk's stupendous Black victory over Topalov from Linares 1999 (Topalov vs Ivanchuk, 1999). I think this brilliant 2002 win by Sutovsky is sure to be included in the new edition. |

| Gotank: Oh boy... The players' names completely reminded me of Emiya Shirou and Illyasviel von Einzbern, two characters from the same Japanese anime/visual novel series. On the game itself, is it just me or was black completely oblivious to white's attack? After being up 2 minors, the least you can do is consolidate your defenses and stop pawn grobbing... |

| kevin86: A neat one! Black's king is sent on a ten mile hike to doom. |

| DarthStapler: Is it just me, or does the middlegame position resemble an Italian game more than a Sicilian? |

| OrangeBishop: Smirin is rated about a thousand points higher than me, so far be it for me to second-guess his moves. To my amateur eye, however, it looked like Black neglected his king even after the 15. Bxh6 sacrifice. After 17. Nf5, the king is out there all alone, but Black's 17. ... cxd3 doesn't seem to do much about that, and lets White's queen recapture with a gain in time, by threatening a discovered check and moving into position to check along the h-file. Most of Black's moves after that are spent on the queenside as well. Can someone explain to me what I'm missing? Obviously Black's moves couldn't have been terrific, since he lost, but a 2683+ player must have had his reasons. |
