Nov-14-15  Howard: In the Informant, this game appears within 1-2 games of Karpov-Van Der Weil (spelling?). Both of these games featured Kasparov's famous gambit from Game 16 of K-K II.

The Informant gives some VERY detailed analysis to this game---just noticed it last night.

Nov-14-15  Howard: Huh ?!

I just read that the loser of this game was murdered, in 1995 !

Nov-14-15  Justin Flint: <Starting in 1993, [Andruet] regularly played backgammon and blackjack in casinos and although he initially won significant amounts of money, he eventually became a pathological gambler riddled with debt. On August 22, 1995, Andruet's body was found on the shores of the Yvette in Saulx-les-Chartreux. He had been beaten to death. The investigation focused on Joseph Liany and his son Franck who had presumably helped Andruet cash a check of 398,000 French francs. Josepth Liany was eventually tried eight years later, convicted of murder and sentenced to a 15-year prison term. His son Franck received a seven-year sentence for his role in the affair. Joseph Liany subsequently identified his nephew Sacha Rhoul as the man solely responsible for the murder. A new trial in 2006 cleared Liany but convicted Rhoul in absentia. Rhoul had been living in Marrakech where he and his father managed the Palais Rhoul, a well-known luxury hotel. Jean-Claude Andruet, Gilles' father repeatedly called for the arrest and extradition of Rhoul. On February 25, 2010, Moroccan authorities arrested Rhoul following an Interpol mandate and extradited him on March 6.>

  offramp: White plays a brilliant attack. The queen offer at move 19 is not straightforward.

Black can simply accept the sacrifice with 19...Nxf3 20. fxg7+ Ke7 21. Rxf7+ Kd6 22. Bf4+ Kc6 23. Rxc7+ Kb6 24. gxh8=Q (black to move and croak)
