| Mar-06-06 | | itz2000: Stienitz would have love this game...
I don't like it!
26..Re8
27 Kh6?, Kf8 |
 |
| Mar-06-06 | | apawnandafool: Of the 27, 13 moves made by white control e4, unless I'm miscounted or misplaced. |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | sneaky pete: 26... Rfe8 27.Kh6 Kf8 28.Qh8+ Ke7 29.Rxe6+ Kxe6 (29... fxe6 30.Qg7#) 30.Nc5+ Ke7 (30... Kf5 31.g4#) 31.Re4+ .. winning. |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | Castle In The Sky: This game demonstrates the common error of overaggression. One player becomes so comfortable in attacking that they forget about defense and harass their opponents with pointless checks. This is an extreme example where the checks are actually counterproductive. |

 | | kevin86: At first,white's king is forced to travel---then he enjoys it so much that he drives a hearse to black's king's door. A rare pun that fits both the player's name-though a bit of a stretch- and the game. |

|
| Mar-06-06 | | alexandrovm: terrible for black, how could he let white's king "walk" so freely, instead of developing the other pieces!? |
|

 | | perfidious: This one gets a spot in one of my game collections-just amazing. |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | backyard pawn: Very amusing. At first, I thought the White king was going to use the h-file as a new, sideways "back rank" for protection. What a surprise to see it help deliver mate! |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | schnarre: A game Steinitz would have been proud of! |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | khense: It's like white's king said "If you want anything done right, you gotta do it yourself!" |
|
| Mar-06-06 | | Chess Classics: Check out these two games with the same king-walk theme-Tarrasch vs Reti, 1922 and Short vs Timman, 1991. Regards,

27 Kh6?, Kf8>
Wouldn't white then have:
28.Qg7+ Ke7
29.Rxe6+ Kxe6
30.Bg4+ Ke7
31.Rd7+ winning
or 30...f5 31.Nc5# |
|
| Mar-21-06 | | schnarre: <khense> You got that right!! |
|
| Jan-31-07 | | whatthefat: <CRWynn>
Yes, that's probably a more elegant way to do things! |
|
| Nov-06-07 | | Samagonka: Like I said before, mind over matter once you are in check. It really takes bravery to turn weakness into strength. My motto is: don't panic! Think simple. Move convinced! Both on the board and in real life circumstances! |

| Jul-02-08 | | JonathanJ: <whatthefat>
31. Re4+ wins even easier:
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Qe7
33. Rxe7 Rxe7
34. Qd4+ Kc7
35. Qxc4
31. ... Kd6
32. Qd4#
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Re7
33. Qh8+ Re8
34. Qxe8# |
|
| Dec-13-08 | | WhiteRook48: Why 26...Bd5??? Totally ignores the threat of Kh6 and Qg7#. |
|
| Dec-22-08 | | WhiteRook48: favorite King walk game |
|
| Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: he beat the goose |
|

 | | Kinghunt: Whiterook, he doesn't have any better option. The only move that even delays the mate is 26... Qe7, but that is still no defense. |
|
| May-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: well, 26...Qe7... is a forced queen win |
|

 | | sevenseaman: Fantastic! Its like the K and the Q decided their army wasn't good enough and two of them together went to conquer a distant land on their own, leading by example. Ironically Black Q checks only helped the White king in the right direction. |
