| Apr-04-12 | | Llawdogg: Just-a-kid is correct, instead of 15 ... Qxa2?, 15 ... Bf8! stops all the madness. But that wouldn't be any fun, would it? |

| Apr-14-12 | | LIFE Master AJ: This is from GM Andrew Soltis's very fine book, "The 100 Best." (Page 12) After MANY pages of discussion of the various methods that he used to evaluate the games for his book, he gives us the following paragraph:
"One further criteria should be obvious: A game has to be real. Adams-Torre, New Orleans, 1920; with its multiple queen sacrifices and last-rank mating tactics, is one of the classics of chess literature. But it is almost certainly a fake." Whoa! Let me stop you there, sir. Where's the documentation? (I have never seen it. And I cover this topic - in some depth - on my web page for Adams-Torre.) He concludes his paragraph by writing:
"Alexander Alekhine's infamous five-queens game with Nikolai Grigoriev was debunked long ago. Enough doubts have been raised about the sacrifice-studded Botvinnik-Chekover, Moscow, 1935; to disqualify it." I agree with Soltis about the Alekhine game, I remember writing an article (myself) about this long ago ... and Winter even thoroughly dissected this topic, as well. And I am aware that a few GM's have cast doubts on Botvinnik's masterpiece, one Soviet GM claimed to have seen those two rehearse this whole affair before hand. However - for me, anyway - its one thing to state/say that a game was a fake, it’s a whole different matter to prove it. My article on this game ... with links to other articles, as well.

| May-31-12 | | KKsystem: I've played many queen games online, but two that really gave me fun was when 7 queen's appeared over the board although not at the same time. I think I had them saved in my played games database. I'll show it here when i find them! |

Since playing this 2 games the most number of queen's I have played has been 4 at the most 2 each for me and my opponent. |

 | | Conrad93: Doesn't 20.Qfxe7+ Nxf7 21.Qxe7+ Kb6 22.Rh6+ Qd8+ also win the game? It's far more aggressive than Reti's alternative. |
|
| Sep-25-12 | | Jim Bartle: Could you please try to write your variation with legal moves so we can look at it? |
|
Sep-25-12
 | | perfidious: <Jim> Now there's a thought..... |
|
Sep-29-12
| | Conrad93: Nxe7*
You could have figured that out, instead of being idiots. |
|
| Sep-29-12 | | Jim Bartle: Who's the idiot here, Mr. "I'm here to learn"?
It's more than just Nxe7. The second queen is on f4, so can't capture on e7 as you have white's move 21. |
|
Sep-29-12
| | Conrad93: Then fix it yourself. |
|
| Sep-29-12 | | Jim Bartle: Here's an idea: Why not try to be competent from the start? |
|
Sep-29-12
| | Conrad93: Jim how about this? Try using your head and fix it yourself. You knew what the proper variation was, but chose instead to whine and complain. Stop acting like a child and put your big boy pants on. |
|
| Sep-29-12 | | Jim Bartle: Not worthy of a serious reply. |
|
Sep-29-12
| | Conrad93: Actually it is, because you spend several posts complaining about something that you could have easily fixed yourself. Instead you chose to start a rant on a forum.
If this site had less users like you, everyone would be better off. |
|
| Nov-26-12 | | Tigranny: This is a fake game I think. |
|
Dec-31-12
 | | Benzol: This is my <9000th> post and an early one for 2013 so for a pointer to more "doctored" Alyekhin games I suggest you look at <Calli>'s Game Collection: Meine Besten Gefälschten Partien :) |
|
| Dec-31-12 | | Jim Bartle: Great collection by Calli! |

 | | FSR: Six queens were on the board at once in E Szalanczy vs Thi Mai Hung Nguyen, 2009. |
|
| Jan-11-13 | | hscer: Can I ask a favor? Anyone know of a game with a lot of queens--or otherwise interesting promotions--that hasn't been GOTD? I think it would have been best for this particular game given its mysterious circumstances, but how about the pun "Promotional Stunt"? |
|
Jan-11-13
 | | Phony Benoni: <hscer> There are many collections of games assembled by kibitzers with multiple promotions or underpromotions. These two won't tell you which have been GOTDs, but you'll have some examples to look at: Game Collection: polygamy or what's an extra Q among friends? Game Collection: Hey, Martha! Where's the Other Chess Set? As for underpromotions, here are some collections for you to look at: Game Collection Search |
