Cheparinov,I (2696) - Alekseev,Evgeny (2715) [C95]
FIDE Grand Prix Elista RUS (8), 22.12.2008

<Now Cheparinov launches a devastating attack. <<<Play through the continuation with your chess engine – it will jump for joy at every move.>>> 24.dxe5 Nxe5 25.c4 bxc4 26.Nxc4 Nfd7 27.Nfxe5 Nxe5 28.Nxe5 dxe5 29.Rd7 Re7 30.Red1 Rce8 31.Bc4 Kg7 32.Qf3 c5

33.Qxf7+! Rxf7 34.Rxf7+! Note that the careless 34.Bxf7 actually loses – to 34...Re7! 34...Kh8 35.Rdd7 1-0.>

TODO: Play over this attack with engine

X-RAY: 33 Qf3xf7+! White d7-rook controls f7-square thru the Black e7-rook

BALEFUL INFLUECE (ESS): 33 Qf3xf7+! White d7-rook controls f7-square thru the Black e7-rook

LOOK WHAT REMAINS ON THE BOARD: 33 Qf3xf7+! gives up Q for R+P but doubled rooks then win

Dec-22-08   ikipemiko: Great attack by Chepa!!
But he still has to improve his endgame in order to be in top ten.

  luzhin: A classic win with the 'Spanish' bishop: rather in the style of RJ Fischer.At the end, if 35...Re7 then 36.Rdxe7 Bxe7 37.Rxe7 and 38.Bxe5 is the execution. Perhaps 32...c5 suggests that Black hadn't seen the Q sac, but in any event he was already completely lost. For example, if 32...f6 then 33.R1d6 is annihilating.
Dec-22-08   shintaro go: I've never really been a fan of the Ruy Lopez Closed because for me it's too much piece shuffling in such tight positions but here Chepa really launches a beautiful attack capped by a Queen sac that leads to mate (else a material disadvantage to Black).

  notyetagm: A *beautiful* attacking gem by Cheparinov, who has learned from the modern master of attack himself, Topalov.

  Gilmoy: <18.Qb8? 20.Ba8? 22.Bf8?> and I thought, Black is very patient or very passive. What is his idea, "Come and get me", forcing White to do all the line-opening work? White does. Gee, Breyer Re8, White wins by a sac, three guesses which square it hit:

Botvinnik vs Portisch, 1968
Kupreichik vs A Planinc, 1970
W Arencibia vs Granda-Zuniga, 1986

CHEPARINOV: Why, of course he lost. He just played the great Cheparinov!

:-)

Dec-22-08   vanytchouck: It's strange :
When i was following the game on chessok; as it was said that the white was winning, i figured out the moves 'till 29.Rd7 and 30.Red1 but i didn't see 31. Bc4 also targeting the weak f7 pawn.

Beautiful finish. Nice for a puzzle.

33 Qf3xf7+! <x-ray>


click for larger view

Cheparinov's 33 Qf3xf7+! is a great example of the <X-RAY> tactic, as the White d7-rook controls the f7-square *through* the Black e7-rook.

33 ... Re7xQf7 34 Rd7xRf7+
