"This bishop is going to eat all those yummy pawns up but the other bishop cannot eat the other yummier pawns because the sneaky king is guarding their yummier pawns because they have a secret sauce which only a handful of people know the recipe to." |

| Feb-19-07 | | kevin86: A strange game. The pawn chain of white's held up like the Great Wall of China----but was destined to fall like a wall of china. Both players try to eat the chains up from the rear,but black is able to save his at the last moment. For a while,white's dark squared bishop had almost the power of a queen-as no one could break through on rank or file. |

| Jul-11-07 | | Ragh: The plan to collapse white's beautifully constructed pawn chain took shape with 57..h5! For a successful execution of his plan, Timmerman was carefully maneuvering both his major pieces for the past 10 or so moves to get on to the first rank, so that once the queens are traded along with a beautiful exchange sacrifice Kxf1, white moves away the only guard off the weakest link in the chain (the unguarded f pawn). Along the way, move 59..Kf7! made sure that white doesn't reach black's unguarded c pawn while at the same time white pawns would fall like dominoes. Marvellous game! |

| Aug-02-07 | | King mega: I saw the blunder. 60 Qd3?? allows Black to return the material and allows bishop to shop the chain! |
|
| Oct-01-07 | | psmith: <King mega> Do you have a better move for White on move 60? If you don't then Qd3 can hardly be called a blunder. |
|

| Jun-19-08 | | Ed Trice: It's a shame that Joop suffered a stroke. He is a billionaire and could have done a great deal more for chess promotion. |

|
| Feb-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: evidently the bishop is going to capture 3 pawns in a row |
|
| Mar-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: 34...Bf5!! is cool.

|
| Jul-15-11 | | swr: A great game, which ultimately shows the importance of Black's Queen's Bishop in the KID. |
|
| Aug-07-12 | | computer chess guy: 60. .. Qxf1+ is good enough, but stronger was 60. .. Qc1! threatening Qf4. If 61. Be3, Ra2+ is decisive. 61. Qe3 loses to .. Qxf1+. |
|
| May-24-15 | | ToTheDeath: Epic game- KID at its best, with lots of original and great strategy by Black. A lot of these KID middlegames are so deep one almost needs a correspondence time control just to unravel the mysteries of the position. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | rwbean: 31. ♕e1 gets a fortress draw, and 34... ♗g4 is much better for winning outright! |
