| Dec-24-07 | | ounos: Exciting attack. Any engine to verify its soundness? 29. ...h5! Brilliant resource, just in time. Was there any defence after 22. ...Rxc3 ? |
 |
| Dec-28-07 | | ALwoodpusher: Maybe 16.f4 right away forcing exf4 is better for white so to exchange the strong e6 knight. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: I'm impressed at how Vituigov sprung an attack out of nowhere on the side of the board where White was invading, but was this sound? One critical line might be 25.Nxf3,Ng4+; 26.Kg1,Qxh3; 27.Qd3,Re8; 28.Rae1(Rfe1!?),f5. Black has the Exchange and a pile of pawns. If the attack doesn't crash through, he might still win this. |

| Sep-12-11 | | LIFE Master AJ: Nothing much to say than:
#1.) Very impressive game by Black!!!
#2.) What is this player doing today??? |

| Sep-12-11 | | ounos: And four years later, cg takes notice :P I enjoyed the game once again, like it was brand new :) |

 | | NARC: Does 19. Nf5 work? I would have tried it in blitz. |
|
| Sep-12-11 | | abuzic: <20.Nd4>:
20.Nf4 is a better place for white. |
|
| Sep-12-11 | | scholes: I wonder if secret of finding all these speculative attack is finding the perpetual. And if you position as good as in the game you might find a resource like 29 ..h5. |

One critical line might be 25.Nxf3,Ng4+; 26.Kg1,Qxh3; 27.Qd3,Re8; 28.Rae1(Rfe1!?),f5> 25.  xf3  f4+ and slaughter ensues.
Yes, the sac is sound, though white could have defended a lot better (e.g. 21. g5) |
|
| Sep-12-11 | | mountm: It's hard to see exactly where this game got away from white. as <abuzic> notes, 20.Nd4 seems a bit questionable, but I think 21.hxg5 is a bigger misstep. After something like <21.Nd5 Bxd5 22.exd5 Bxh4 23.Nxf3>, it's still uncomfortable, but not nearly as bad as the board position after 23...Qh4. |

| Sep-12-11 | | Old King Cole: A classic endgame ploy, to empower the pawn with what for it is a sort of maximum mobility and strength (to go forward in either one of two directions), finding its zenith as it nears promoting. (I suppose a really strong pawn could go in three directions, but this only equals, more or less, the potential moves from a pawn's starting point. Hmm, where does maximum force, power, strength, energy lie in a pawn? The Loyd puzzle with the QBP pops in.) |

| Sep-12-11 | | Old King Cole: Oops, it's the QNP. |

sac: 22...Rxc3
