Apr-03-06		millert: So instead of 34. ... Qd3 Friedel should have played 34. ... Qd4 which wins. Correct?

Apr-05-07		rwbean: Yep, 34... Qd4 and the eval is >+11 with Glaurung at depth 19. I came to this game playing Chess88 by Don Berg as White at Level 6 (in DOSBox under Mac OS X) against Glaurung 1.2.1 as Black. Chess88 plays this strange move 6. Nxc6. Glaurung plays 7... Qxb2 at depth 20 (eval +0.60). According to chesslive.de, Nakamura has a score of 3/3 with 6. Nxc6 as White, but no-one tried 7... Qxb2 against him yet; only 7... dxc6. In the 6 games at chesslive.de with 7... Qxb2, Black scores 5.5/6.

Jul-08-09		WhiteRook48: I can't see what happens after 34...Qd4 35 Kxc2

Jul-09-09		DWINS: <WhiteRook48>, If 34...Qd4 35.Kxc2 Bxe4+ 36.Bxe4 Qxe4+ 37.Kc1 Qe3+ 38.Kb1 Qd3+ 39.Kb2 Qxf1

Jul-12-11		perfidious: This game was played on the board next to mine, and I remember thinking that White was more than a little fortunate to survive. Playing through this, eleven years on, hasn't done anything to change my mind.

Jul-12-11		chancho: 34...Bxe4 35.Bxe4 Rd2 looks good enough, no?

Jul-13-11		perfidious: <rwbean> and <chancho>: How about 34....Qa3 35.Kxc2 Qxa2+ 36.Kc3 Bxe4 37.Rxe4 Qd2+ 38.Kc4 Qc1+? This phase of the game was marked by mutual time shortage, so it's hardly surprising that some possibilities were overlooked.

Dec-31-11		VinnyRoo2002: Are you a GM perfidious?

Jan-14-13		perfidious: < VinnyRoo2002: Are you a GM perfidious?> Definitely not-played numerous GMs during my career, beat several at blitz, but nowhere near that class.
