| Eatman: Nice finish! Neither of the rooks is touchable because of eventual mate with Rh8X |

| themindset: i believe this variation is actually called the Velimirovic attack, a close cousin of the fischer-sozin. |

| BlazingArrow56: Like magic. If Rxg5 then Rh6++ Kg8 Rh8# While Nxf6 falls to Bxf6+ Kh7 Rxh5# |

| xqdashi: <Blazing Arrow> Nxf6 Bxf6+ Kxh7 Rxh5+
Kg8 Rh8# |

| kevin86: Was white's horse,a Trojan horse?
Don't the bishop and rook work well together? YES |

| dac1990: 12. Nf5!! is probably a move none of us would even consider. I'm still recovering from the shock. |

| talchess2003: yes, a fantastic move, it puts spring and fire into white's attack |

| Dick Brain: <dac1990> 12. Nf5 does not really deserve double exclam because it's probably not a winner (other moves have been played in this position). But the game was brilliant. |

| Backward Development: was the sac really correct? or was there greater defense? |

| milanez: what about 23...Rg8 for black? all i see for white afterwards is 24 Rxg8+ Kxg8 25. fxe5 dxe5 where black is still a pawn up |

| dakgootje: Was the knight sac really worth the postional advantage, i mean, wasnt there a much more effective defence for black? |

| Keith Dow: The losing move for black was:
28 ... Rg4?
This leads to mate in 7 moves.
The correct moves are:
28 ... Kh7
29 Bxf6 Nxf6
30 Rxf6 Re1+
31Kd2 Re7
32 Rxh5+ Kg7
33 Rb6
And black has a slight advantage. |

| chillowack: Much as I love Velimirovic and swashbuckling chess, I don't think Black lost this game because of White's brilliance: I think he lost it because he chose not to develop his queenside. He could have opted for a plan like ...Rb8, ...b5, and ...Bb7, rather than wasting time moving his knights over and over. That said: the Nf5 sac definitely accomplished some useful practical things, like controlling e6 for instance. And it was definitely a gutsy and creative idea! |
