| Dec-11-05 | | Elrathia Kingi: 33..Qc6 is a wasted move. 33..Ba4 or 33..Bc6 34..Bd5 would be an improvement, perhaps. |

 | | WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Ah, yes. Went back and replayed the game, somehow missed the whole sequence. =( |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | erimiro1: What a royal tour! Also impressing the manouvre with the rook over the 4th. rank (d4-a4-c4-h4). |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Great game! I like the finishing check moves but even more the piece exchanges around move 20-25. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Caligula: Fun game. Why did Black resign? He was about to grab a free Knight and check the White King. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Averageguy: <Caligula> The Ne4 is defended by the pawn on d3, so black can't take it. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Saruman: The game could have continued with:
49.-Kg8 50.Kg2 (50.Kg3 Rg1+ 51.Rg2 still winning but its tricky (51.Kh4?? g5+! 52.Kh5 Qe8+ game over))Qa8 51.e6 followed by e7 winning. |

 | | al wazir: For once, a heroic sacrificial attack that doesn't succeed! I thought white had a win with 33. Rxg6. If 33...hxg6 then 34. Qh6+ and mate next. But black probably would have played 33...Qc2+ 34. Ka2 Bxd3 (or Qxd3). |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Saruman: <al wazir> Have a look at this one: 33.Rxg6 Qc2+ 34.Ka2 Bc4+! 35.dxc4 Qxg6 mmm tasty... |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | TopaLove: I think if 24 ... gxh5 then 25.♕g3+ ♔f8 26.♗xh7 and there´s no way to avoid 27. ♕g8# |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Saruman: <TopaLove> black has Ke8. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | sucaba: With 24. Ne4, White could keep the dark-squared ♗ and probably win,
for example 24. _ f6 25. ♗c3 f5 26. ♘g5 h6 27. ♕e5 hxg5 28. ♕h8+ ♔f7 29. ♖xh5 gxh5 30. ♕xh5+ ♔f8 31. ♗b4 ♖d6 32. fxg5 e5 33. ♗c4 ♗e6 34. ♕h6+ ♔e8 35. ♖xd6 ♕xd6 36. ♗xe6  . |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | dakgootje: love the rook-moves by white =).
But if i was black and white played 33. ♖xg6 I would have answerd 33. ...♗xd3+ 34. ♕xd3 hxg6 though i think the line of <Saruman> is better |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | Saruman: <dakgootje> I am afraid that runs into mate after Qh3+ Kg7 Qh7+ Kf8 Qg8+ Ke7 Qg7+ Kd8 Qf8#. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | thesonicvision: 16.Rc4 is something you don't see
every day. it's the kind of move that
lesser players such as myself, never
even consider.
masters always know when to break the
rules. |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: <thesonicvision> What'so good about 16.Rc4? |
|
| Dec-11-05 | | kevin86: White's king goes a wandering-black can neither gain a perpetual or gain a mate . This time it's the chasers who can't save this one! Great finish! |
|
| Dec-12-05 | | StraightLarsen: mestel is my friend... |
|
| Dec-12-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: by the way <thesonicvision>, I totally agree with your view on chess against computers! |
|
| May-29-06 | | MorphyMatt: "always check, it might be mate", eh? |
|
| Oct-07-06 | | ToTheDeath: That is some king. |

 | | Sally Simpson: < was 41...Bc6+ a blunder check? It drops the bishop...> It does appear it was never played and the extra moves after the sealed move 41.Kb7 is analysis. 'Memorable Games of British Chess' by Neil Hickman stops at move 41 Kb7 the sealed move. Informator 30, game 224 stops at move 41.Kb7. BCM January 1981 (page 24) stops at 41.Kb7 adding it was the sealed move and the extra moves we have appears given as analysis. Correction slip sent. |

| | Sally Simpson: ...and duly corrected. I posted because this site is mentioned as having it wrong and anyone coming here can see, yes it was an error but we have corrected it. If you are a visitor wanting to see the extra moves added in error to this game then pop along to chess.com https://www.chess.com/blog/simaginf... where they, at the time of posting, are still there in a nice piece of work about Mestel. (the author possibly got the extra move from us.) |
