 | | notyetagm: Three consecutive tactical blows from Mamedyarov and the game is over: 20  x e5! <removes the guard> of the f7-square 21 h5+! g6xh5 <line-opening sacrifice> to open the b1-h7 diagonal 22 f7+!  xf7 <deflection from h7> So we have <remove the guard>, followed by a <line-opening sacrifice>, followed by a <deflection>: a tactical tour de force by Mamedyarov. |

| | notyetagm: This is a -stupendous- combination by Mamedyarov, climaxing by sacrificing his g3-knight on h5 with 21 g3-h5!:

| | notyetagm: What an -INCREDIBLE- combination Mamedyarov plays in this game. Mamedyarov's tactical skills are unsurpassed. |

| | notyetagm: Wow, what a combination!

|
| Jun-26-08 | | shr0pshire: A great combination, no doubt. What I would like to add on top of <notyetagm> wonderful analysis is I think the whole tactical sequence starts with 15. f5. A telling game of Mamedyarov's future in chess. |

| Jun-29-08 | | Bobsterman3000: <notyetagm> Nice analysis. This is a very instructive game by Shakh, showing how to take advantage of black's light-squared deficiency near the king - it had started as far back as 4...bxc4 and 6...Bb7?? |

click for larger viewMamedyarov uses this chess position as his "calling card" for his playchess.com account <s_mamedyarov>. Hard to believe that Mamedyarov is able to *force* resignation in just 4(!) more moves! |

| Aug-31-09 | | ycbaywtb: you certainly can appreciate the beauty of all of his pieces being coordinated, but fault can be found with Black's KN to g4. the other KN to f8 may have helped, but it looks natural to re-route the faulty KN to the center. however, with the board cut in half on the d file by blocked pawns, and a loose king, one player was honed into the possibilities and the other was conducting routine development(a 2200 at that) How many of us have lost having our army separated from the defense of the king, that's when you know you weren't paying attention to the moves as they could come... |

| | notyetagm: Wow! |
|
| Sep-13-09 | | VishyAnandFan: this is pure attacking genius. i bet for shark it's kind of technique. all the pieces coordinated perfectly |

| Jul-18-10 | | Bobsterman3000: I never knew that they played chess tournaments in <PENISCOLA> |
|
| Jul-18-10 | | Jafar219: Bobsterman, what do you mean?
By the way, this great game was played eight years ago.But it is very sad that, Mamedyarov couldn`t improve his play since then.Now he is just an ordinary GM. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: <notyetagm: *** Black resigns because he is mated, the principal variation being 22 ... Kxf7 23 Qh7+ Kf8 24 Qxh6+ Kf7 25 d6+ Bd5 26 Bxd5#. ***> In the continuation quoted above, the quiet move <24. d6> wins equally quickly as 24. Qxh6+ and would be my nominee for the principal variation. This, of course, is a matter of aesthetic taste. Objectively, 24. Qxh6+ is equally good. |

| Jul-19-10 | | Bobsterman3000: <By the way, this great game was played eight years ago.But it is very sad that, Mamedyarov couldn`t improve his play since then.Now he is just an ordinary GM.> Jafar, his ELO is up around 2761 now. That's definitely much higher than any "ordinary GM". |

 | | hedgeh0g: Absolutely stunning combination. I would have to rank this as among my favourite all-time combos. 22.Rf7+! Kxf7 23.Qh7+ Kf8 (23...Kf6 24.Ne4#) 24.d6 any 25.Qf7# |
|
Sep-24-10
| | hedgeh0g: Or, rather, 24...Bd5 25.Bxd5 etc. :P |
