| Jun-23-04 | | notsodeepthought: It's late, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious - but doesn't 127 ... Qe6 force 128 Kh4 (zugzwang), followed by 128 ... Qh6 mate? So why is the score 1-0? |

| Jun-23-04 | | poktirity: Maybe Kakageldyev missed that to =) |
|
| Jun-23-04 | | blitzkrieg: would it be possible that black forfeited the time, that is why it is 1-0? |

| Jun-23-04 | | Anubis33: The score is in error. White resigned. Here's the full story on this fascinating "tragedy"... http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess/e... |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Of course, the result should be 0-1.
Poor Moussa! It is always very bad to lose such a game and much worse when it occurs in a team contest like Olympiad. |
|
| Jun-23-04 | | JSYantiss: notsodeep, it is late, but you are definitely right on here. White resigned because mate is unavoidable, as you so astutely pointed out. 128...Qh6# |

| Jun-23-04 | | killaa: Moussa must have felt like he'd run a marathon only to take a wrong turn a few steps from the finsih line! What was 86 Kd4 all about? |
|
| Jun-23-04 | | morphynoman2: Maybe a tragedy, but not at all a great game. |

 | | chessgames.com: <the result should be 0-1> Ooops, sorry about that. Anubis, thanks for posting that link. As you can see this game was not just lost once, but several times over. |

 | | kevin86: A nice little twopenny problem at the end. Very simple,but a good lesson in zugzwang. White blew this one several times,especially being a knight ahead,we all should "86" his 86th move-kind of like some of my "eggs". |

A bit like Short the other day, only he ran a marathon, was way ahead, then fell flat on his face. |
|
| Oct-25-07 | | Jack the turtle: I believe the move 127...Qe6 was played before white resigned - this is not showing in the score right now. |

| Sep-17-09 | | dumbgai: This is the kind of game that would make me want to quit chess. |

 | | NM JRousselle: It's very difficult to believe that a grandmaster would not win this with White after having a knight for a pawn in the ending. |
