| belgradegambit: Why not 30 QxN? White then forks the queen but I see no win. |

| TheAlchemist: 30.Qxe2 Ng3 31.Kg1 Nxe2 and 32...Nxc1 and black is winning |

| kellmano: Imagine playing a game like this. Must be an amazing feeling afterward. Nice of Siff to allow the mate to appear on the board. |

| screwdriver: I agree with An Englishmen's comment. It almost seems like a composed game. It's exceptionally played. |

| screwdriver: I guess you could say that this is a good example of a smothered mate. |

| Jimfromprovidence: 24 Kh1!? deserves a long, hard look.

| Marmot PFL: 24 Kh1 Nxe3 25 Qb2 Neg4 26 hg Qh4+ seems to lead to a draw, but this does not detract from the combination and the clever smothered mate. |

| ROADDOG: Kashdan cashed in with an incredible assault against the white King. 20...Bxh3!. 29...Nh5 32...Qh2+. So many great moves and a beautiful mate. |

I brought up the possibility of 24 Kh1 because it lets white avoid check for at least one move in order to get his queen involved. I saw something like 24...Nxe3 25 Nde4 after 24 Kh1.

| lzromeu: I dont believe this. Three sacs and mate.
First bishop, then rook, and finaly Queen and mate with knights. |

| fm avari viraf: Indeed, a very superb game worthy of high praise! With a sudden violent attack, White's stubborn defence was 'Blown to smithereens' & ultimately, the galloping gallants knights sending the White King to gallows is a delight to watch. Definitely, an indelible display of power, brilliance & grace. |

| tivrfoa: wow. Maybe the most beautiful game I ever saw.
After 26. Kh2 I tried to find out how black could win, but I failed.
Very difficult sequence. |

| SirChrislov: Breathtaking. its hard to see where white went wrong. the final position reminds of the position from that movie Killer Night Moves. |

| randomsac: Lovely play, great job of boxing in the white king with the knights. |
|

| kingfu: Sorry guys, I got this one totally backwards. Siff got HIS revenge in only 21 moves. I am older than Karpov so I forget things! |
