May-11-09  th3jamez: also black missed 2 chances of a mate in 6, one after 25.Kxa7 ( black will play Qd6 with unstoppable mating threats) the second after 33.Kxb8, black will follow with 33... Qb4+ 34.Ka1 then black plays Kc7.

  Chessmensch: How does CG find something like this to put it in the data base? Neither player (much less the game) is in the 365chess.com data base (which is very complete). That makes me suspect the game's authenticity.
May-11-09  mindmaster: nice game...C Van de Loo vs M Hesseling, 1983
May-11-09  Alphastar: unfortunately, tis a fake
May-11-09  WhiteRook48: game of the day again?
May-11-09  SamAtoms1980: This game is certifiably nutters

"Van de Loo Industries?" What the devil would they manufacture, clowns?

May-11-09  JManRio: Yeah...
This one is over my head???
May-11-09  cheeseplayer: I cannot believe this is true unless it's a show-off game or fake!

how about 8...Qc5+?!

There a lot of blunders in it!

May-11-09  mworld: this is a real opening - the king march line?

  Infohunter: I've seen some King-march games before, but never the likes of this. And White's 19th move--never would I have thought of that one!
May-15-09  I Like Fish: back at keyboard...
May-17-09  randomsac: This is a really wild game. With his king scurrying around, I was surprised white weathered the attack. Black just couldn't finish the king off when it was trapped in the corner.
May-18-09  I Like Fish: Now...
would that be smoking...
or nonsmoking...

  sevenseaman: A great game from both sides. White's final move Rxg7 is a full-blooded punch on the nose. No escape.

The game is an apt example of hot pursuit and some excellent parrying.

  sevenseaman: Moves are tough to follow. <19. Qa4!> (or Qg4) parries the mate threat at c4, b4. If <19. dxc6> the R at d8 comes into play making d4 another hit point for the Q. Exchanging the Qs isn't good enough. So Black gets pushed into <19...Qe7+> (the text).

<25. Nb5> parries Qc7+ threat. <30. d5!> what a resource!

<35. Bg5+!> An effete check but has the merit of releasing the a1 R.

<48. Rg7!!> White is in control now and can handle losing the R with c8=Q#.

I do not think I'll live to see a hotter game.

Nov-02-11  LIFE Master AJ: Insane ....
Nov-02-11  LIFE Master AJ: <<Sep-24-05 <Sneaky: <Real or invented, this game is an immortal.<<<>>>>>>>

I will second that!

Mar-15-12  Penguincw: Really crazy game.
Jun-22-12  vinidivici: what if 19...bxa4?
Jun-22-12  King Death: < vinidivici: what if 19...bxa4?>

After 19...ba 20.Nc6 looks good enough. White has too much for the queen and once he gets developed it's all over. It'll be Black's king that's in trouble.

Dec-21-12  DanielBryant: I was disappointed to learn that this one is a composition, but it no doubt still deserves a place on CG. This game is like chess on crack.

Oh. Ok. never mind. That explains the fantastic tactics. If this wasn't a composition I'd rank it as probably one the greatest chess games ever played.
