Oct-01-04  Karpova: a very beautiful game!
Dec-15-04  chesscookie: Dude, why do you just post " a nice game" and the like for every game you see? Post some analysis.
Dec-15-04  drukenknight: 34...Ned5 might be an interesting place to start.
Dec-15-04  Shams: 39...Rf8 and who would like to tell me white`s reply?
Dec-15-04  ConLaMismaMano: How about 39...Rf8 40.Qxf8+ Bxf8 41.Rxf8+ Qxf8 42.b7? White is about to crown his pawn and will be a piece up.
Dec-15-04  Shams: thanks. I agree. :)
Dec-17-04  drukenknight: check out the line following:

37...Ned5
38. Bxd5 cxd5
39. Qxf5 Rf8

continuing?

Dec-17-04  nikolaas: <drukenknight: check out the line following:

37...Ned5
38. Bxd5 cxd5
39. Qxf5 Rf8

continuing? > Yes.

May-25-05  farrooj: Why can't the Black Queen ever go to c8 to trade?
Sep-05-05  dac1990: <farooj> White will trade Queens, and then advance b7 with tempo, and then will promote on b8, winning.
Oct-28-05  Karpova: <chesscookie: Dude, why do you just post " a nice game" and the like for every game you see? Post some analysis.>

well, i don't say that about every game i see. this game is a true masterpiece but i understand that you may have difficulties in recognising this as one.

btw, thanks for your extensive analysis on this game!

  al wazir: What's wrong with 40...Rf8 ?
Oct-06-10  rilkefan: 41. Bc6 Qc8 (if Qxc6 then Qxf8) 42. Re8 would be my first reaction to 40...Rf8.
Oct-06-10  gmalino: can someone pls explain why black didn't play 22...Rxd6? isn't this winning a piece?

(I know, i'm just blind!)

Oct-06-10  moi: <gmalino>: if 22...Rxd6,23Rxd6,Qxd6,24 c5+

What I can't understand is 25...Rd7 instead of the obvious Rxd1+. Does anyone have a clue, pls?

Oct-06-10  twisted eye: after 22...Rxd6 23. Rxd6 Qxd6 24. c5+, Black's queen is under attack from the discovered check. The only way to save her from the pawn is to block the White queen's check; however, both places to put her, she just gets taken anyway, either by White's queen or bishop, drastically losing the exchange.
Oct-06-10  gars: Karpova and Chesscookie:

Since you are so keen on analysis, I ask each of you to post an analysis of "Portisch-Torre", Rio Interzonal, 1979, because to this day I (a confirmed rabbit) have not seen anything about it but reams and reams of variations. Thanks a lot!

Oct-06-10  gmalino: <moi><twisted eye> thx, that's what i meant with blind! omg.
Oct-06-10  AxelBoldt: I was expecting 30...Ned5, but the Fire engine gives a nice win for White: 31. Bxd5! Rxe6 (31...cxd5 32. c6) 32. Bxe6 Nd5 33. Rxd5! cxd5 34. Bd7.
Oct-06-10  kevin86: Black is out of options...except to resign.
Oct-06-10  Chessmensch: Picket's Charge. Also, a bit of humor relating to that. When asked why his charge at Gettysburg failed, General Pickett replied: "I've always thought the Yankees had something to do with it.
Oct-06-10  I play the Fred: ...and the pun means what, exactly?
Oct-06-10  Everett: <I play the Fred: ...and the pun means what, exactly?>

Have you looked at the game? After 25.Bc7, which black piece do you think may represent the djinn?

Oct-06-10  I play the Fred: Very cool. Thanks.
Oct-06-10  gauer: This Queen was almost left with as many (good) diagonal movements on the board at one point as her predecessor, the ancient wazir (counsellor). Seems to compare well to Disney's cartoon rendition of Alladin, or perhaps (including such story anthologies as Raymond Smullyan's & others') The (Chess) Mysteries of the Arabian ♘s.

Probably games like Nimzowitsch vs Hakansson, 1922 & the one above are good reasons for ♔s to trust their own decisions, rather than wishing for the promises of a mere counsellor to promise great power. In this case, someone was definitely best left corked back up!
