 | | Ulhumbrus: On 14 Qxe6+ Kf8!! White's N on d4 is attacked and threatened with capture in addition to White's Q |

| May-26-08 | | progrock64: 14...Kf8 15.Bxf6-Nxd4 (15...Bxd4 16.Nd5 with a winning attack) 16.Be5-fxe6 17.Bxc7-Bg2 18.Rhg1-Bc6 19.Be5 with a very promising ending for White. Note by John Nunn in New In Chess 3/2008. |

| | Ulhumbrus: <progrock64: 14...Kf8 15.Bxf6-Nxd4 (15...Bxd4 16.Nd5 with a winning attack) 16.Be5-fxe6 17.Bxc7-Bg2 18.Rhg1-Bc6 19.Be5 with a very promising ending for White. Note by John Nunn in New In Chess 3/2008.> In this variation an alternative to 17...Bxg2 is 17...Nxb3+ 18 axb3 Ke7 and Black may end up with the advantage |
|
| May-26-08 | | progrock64: I don`t see how black can be better in that variation after 18...Ke7. There are also alternatives for white like 16.Bxg7+ or 15.Nxb5 that look promising at first sight at least.
Wonderfull positon to study and analyze. |
|
| May-26-08 | | kamalakanta: Ivanchuk played this game like a future World Champion. |

| Jul-22-08 | | Mr Apples: Fritz 11 analysis on best 2 moves
1.  (-0.36): 13.Qe3xe6+ Depth=23
2. (-0.40): 13.Bg5xf6 Depth=23 |
|
| Aug-18-08 | | Smothered Mate: Shouldn't black have played 15... Qe7 ?
This protects g7, and if 16. Re1 Qxe6 17. Rxe6+ Ne7 |

Wonderfull positon to study and analyze.> On 18...Ke7 in return for the pawn Black has the bishop pair and a King that is developed better. one variation is 19 f3 g5 20 Be5 Rhg8 21 h3 Raf8 22 Ne4 Bxe4 23 fxe4 Rf2 24 Rhg1 Rgf8. On 16 Bxg7+ Kxg7 17 Qg4+ Kf8 18 Rxd4 Bxd4 20 Qxd4 Rg8 attacks the g2 pawn. On 15 Nc3xb5 axb5 16 Bxb5 Qe7 White gets three pawns for a piece but it may be insufficient. |

| Jan-24-09 | | Akavall: Amazing queen sacrifice, much like in this game:
Ivanchuk vs Shirov, 1996

|
| Apr-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: unfathomable! |
|
| Apr-17-09 | | kamalakanta: This game reminds me of the following game by Tal:
Tal vs Lutikov, 1964 |

Amazing! |
|
| Nov-17-09 | | spotkicker: This game has changed people's opinion about Flank variation. Until this game was played, the practitioners had liked this variation; especially with 9...Qc7. But now 9...Qb6 is preferred more than that. 9...Qc7 10.e5 Bb7 11.ed6 Bd6 12.Qe3 Bc5 13.0-0-0 Nc6 14.Qe6!! has changed everything! |

| Jan-12-10 | | Atking: I plaid and won the black side of this line 15 years ago and still don't understand why nobody plays simply 9...Bb7. Not be afraid by ghost 10.Bxe6 then 10...0-0! is good for Black. |
|
| Jul-05-10 | | mohitm: That's just too much of pawns for black rooks to catch, poor Sergey. Middle game was amazing, Karjakin got slammed by Chucky's home prep. |
