| Mateo: Panno was 2570 and Larsen 2660. Impressive win for White. Panno shows how to take advantage of a king caught in the center. 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.d4 c6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5 8.Bd3 Bb7 9.e4 b4 10.Na4 c5 11.e5 Nd5 12.O-O cxd4 13.Re1 g6 14.Bg5 Be7 15.Bh6 a6 <later, Polugaevsky played 15...Bf8 against Tukmakov and drew> 16.Rc1 Bf8 17.Bg5 <17.Bf8 looks good too with a big advantage to White, but Panno plays to keep Larsen's king in the center> Qa5?! <A bad square for the Queen. 17...Qb8 was safer> 18.Nd2! <Much better than 18.Nd4. Larsen has problems with his Queen> h6 19.Nc4 Qc7 <only move> 20.Ncb6 Qb8 21.Nxd7! <21.Na8? hg, the Knight is trapped> Kxd7 22.Bf6! Rg8 <22...Nf6? 23.Nb6! Kd8 (23...Ke7 24.ef  ; 23...Ke8 24.Qa4 Kd8 25.ef ) 24.ef Ra7 25.Qa4 Qd6 (25...Bg2 26.Rc8 ) 26.Qa5 Bc6 (26...Ke8 27.Bb5! ) 27.Bb5! Rc7 28.Bc6 wins> 23.Be4 Qa7 <otherwise 24.Qd4> 24.Rc4 Be7 <24...Ke8 25.Rd4 recapturing the pawn with a big advantage for White, since the Black King is caught in the center> 25.Rxd4 Rgd8 26.Bxd5 Bxd5 27.Rxd5+!! <the knight was the key of the defence> exd5 28.e6+! fxe6 29.Bd4 Qc7 <29...Qb7 30.Nb6 Kc7 31.Re6 > 30.Nb6+ Kc6 <30...Ke8 31.Qg4! Kf8 32.Qg6 > 31.Nxa8 Rxa8 32.Rxe6+ Kd7 33.Rxg6 Qc4 34.b3 Qb5 35.Rb6 1-0 |

| newzild: A fine game. I especially liked the instructive 18.Nd2! Also good were the exchange and pawn sacs on moves 27 - 28. A Saturday or Sunday puzzle, maybe? |

| BarcelonaFirenze: Does anybody know if this game was played before or after the Fischer-Larsen 1971 match? |

| euripides: Larsen, who admired and was influenced by Nimzowitsch, would have admired Panno's positional combination here. The black-square bind recalls Nimzowitsch vs Salwe, 1911 |

| TheDestruktor: Man, what a game. No wonder there is almost no kibitzing for it today, even being a GOTD. Seems that no one knows what to say (including me). It will take a while for me to really understand this game. |

| AugustAle: I'm sure 'd have to play 20.Nd6+ OtB.
I'ts like a forced move, or a trainwreck. |

| kevin86: Wow! The king hunt turns into a queen trap- |

| davegras: Panno was really on his game. All sorts of pressure on Larsen. |

| fm avari viraf: Bent Larsen, ultimately inviting a calamity of getting trapped in the cycle of survival. The more vigourously he tries to extricate himself, the more intricately he gets entangled. A beautiful & didactic game! |

| SirChrislov: Quote of the Day, Aug-31-08:
"Whenever you have to make a rook move and both rooks are available, you should evaluate which rook to move and, once you have made up your mind...
move the other one!"

| lzromeu: Maybe 28...Ke8 could avoid the terrible combination |

| Check It Out: Panno had the initiative for most of the game it seems. 13...g6 may have started some problems, as 14.Bg5 seemed to be a thorn in black's side for some time. 19.Nc4 really seemed to take the ball and run, pushing the queen back to b8 eventually. I have no idea the position evals after 34.b3, but white's rook is very active compared to black's, and the black king is exposed. 34...Qb5 is obviously a ?? move. |
