Sep-15-05   aw1988: I recall that. I don't remember. :(

I'm due to get a premium membership soon. I'll search for "immortal annoying".

  tamar: <aw1988> I think it might be Anand vs Lautier, 1997 which you dubbed "the immortal obnoxious game" It had a striking Bg6 by Anand.

  LIFE Master AJ: I will also <slightly> modify what I said earlier ... while not perfect - and few games are, and if they were, probably <somewhat> boring draws - this game is tremendously complex. (I did spend about 45 minutes with Fritz ... trying to determine the 'truth' of this game.) By the way, have you done this?

ALSO - what book does this come out of? A Dvoretsky volume ... or something else?

Sep-16-05   samvega: <tamar> Yes! Thanks, that was exactly it. <aw1988> Thanks for trying to remember. I'm going to renew my membership too...
Sep-16-05   aw1988: Since LIFE Master AJ is ignoring me, someone will have to tell him; yes, this came from Dvoretsky, the exact place I forget. He spends pages upon pages on this game, calling it a "perfect defense" or something of that sort.

  LIFE Master AJ: <all> I have a zillion books. An exact book and page reference would be most helpful. (I already thumbed through about five volumes ... and I did not see this game listed.)
Sep-17-05   Averageguy: Yes, I know this discussion was a little over half a month ago, but I cannot help myself... <<fgh>This game definitely is not poorly played. Name me a bad move here.>

<LMAJ<fgh> Please, you claim to be one of the world's greatest analysts, why don't YOU do us the honor? <Show us your stuff!>>

LMAJ, you idiot. YOU were the one who stated that there were bad moves in this contest. <fgh>Said that there weren't. So how on earth can you ask him too suggest a bad move when you were the one who suggested that this game was poorly played in the first place! By doing that, you are asking him to PROVE YOUR THEORY, which he disagreed with in the first place! Ahh....I see it now. You were faced with a question you couldn't answer, so once again you decide to lash out unjustifiably and make ridiculous coments. You also boast about everyone knowing who you are, and accusing <h3> of not sharing his identity. If that is the case, then please tell me what your AJ stands for. To be fair, I shall tell you my full name: Julius David Schwartz.

Sep-17-05   aw1988: Of course there were bad moves in this contest. White lost. Not hard to figure out.
Sep-17-05   Averageguy: <aw1988>Of course there were bad moves. I'm just saying that you cannot ask someone to prove your own theory, especially if they disagreed with it in the first place.
Sep-17-05   aw1988: Sorry, I didn't read the rest of your post, and thought it absurd talking about "bad moves".
Sep-18-05   Averageguy: <aw1988> No need to apologize. Glad we understand each other. Good game collections BTW.
Oct-08-05   Poisonpawns: A wild game,I havent seen many games like this.Amazing stuff
Oct-10-05   aw1988: I think I've found the answer to f6.

f6 Ne6 Nxe6 Bxe6+ Kh8 and the queen just moves away, far better for White than after 21...Bc6!!.

Oct-11-05   THE pawn: The sort of game any GM would blunder once or twice.

Call Hydra please!

Oct-19-05   John Abraham: Complicated.

  ToTheDeath: "EPIC" is the only adjective that can truly describe this game.
Jun-29-08   depraved: <LifeMasterAJ> The answer to your question is as follows: The game was published in one of Dvoretsky's books, though I have to say I don't recall which, either -even though I'm lucky enough to have all five volumes, it's been a long time since I last read any of them. It also appears in Sanakoev's work of his games.

Aug-12-08   depraved: <LMAJ> The miracle has happened- I found the book! It's the last of the series (Attack and Defence), and the game appears in chapter 13, Virtuoso Defence, pp 216-227.
Jan-25-09   WhiteRook48: why didn't white resign earlier than this?
Jan-25-09   WhiteRook48: and awesome passed pawn
Jan-27-09   WhiteRook48: B99 is an interesting eco code

  whiteshark: Sanakojew analysed this game extensively in his biographical book. He was full of praise for the tough black denfense.

  whiteshark: At the same event black had the position after 20...Ng7 a second time: Estrin vs K H Maeder, 1978
