|
| Aug-22-13 | | pedro99: Also nice variations if black plays28...kg7 29.h8=Qch Rh8: (Kh8: Qh6 mate) 30.Nf5ch- Kg7 31 Qf6ch and mate next |
|
| Aug-22-13 | | kevin86: White will mate very quickly! |
|
| Aug-22-13 | | engmaged: <pedro99> nice indeed |

 | | Phony Benoni: Study-like finish. Theknight and scatterd pawns perform an amazing amount of work. |
|
| Jul-29-14 | | Whitehat1963: This looks like an almost miraculous finish. Amazing! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Didn't see enough to claim credit. What an amazing attack. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | Walter Glattke: 25.-Nd3 26.Nf6+ Rxf6 27.Qxf6 Qe1+ 28.Kg2 Rf8 /26.Bh4 Qe1+ 27.Qxe1 Nxe1 25th move of black is the real puzzle here. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | pth: With 22. ... Nd3, black abandons the defence of d5. Why not 22. ... hxg6? |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | agb2002: Black threatens Bxg5 and Rxf5.
The white queen x-rays the black king. This suggests f6 and fxg6, attacking the d-pawn. I haven't found anything clearly decisive after neither f6 nor fxg6. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | paavoh: Perhaps 25.- Qc7 was an improvement over b4? Anyway, too complicated for me :-) |

 | | Mrcomputer55: Ohh, now I see the second line from Gilmoy!
Perfect mate is possible!!! |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | takchess: My intuition told me Rg1.......interesting mating net |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | Diana Fernanda: The Best game of Rapport |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | Walter Glattke: pth "why not 22.-h6?" think for 23.Bxd8 (gardez) Rxd8 24.Nxd5 Nxd5 25.Rc8 Rxc8 26.Qxd5+ Kh8 27.Qe5+ Kg8 27.Qe6+ mating or 24.-Rxd5 25.Qf3 Rd7 26.Rc8+ Kg7 27.Qf5 Re7 28.Rf8 Qc7, better 25.Rc5 Kg7 26.Rxd5 Nxd5 27.Qxd5 Kxg7 28.h4 little white advantage. I made this very quickly, found no clear refutation of 22.-h6. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | GlennOliver: Brilliantly intuitive attack from Rapport. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | thegoodanarchist: 29...Kf4 30.Qg3+ Ke4 ▢ 31.Qe3# |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | LewisKing: Agree with other posters. 22...hxg6 seemed like the obvious reply. After 23 bxd8 Rxd8, what does white have? Slight advantage if any, and certainly no clear forced win. |
|
Feb-23-20
| | master8ch: An alternative to Gilmoy's 2nd line: 29...Kh4 30.h8(R)+ Rxh8 31.Nf5+ Kh3 32.Qg3#. . . just because it's always nice to force mate with an underpromotion. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | goodevans: Several posts suggesting <22...hxg6> might be not so bad for black, maybe even a refutation. Well indeed after <23.Bxd8 Rxd8> material is level but it's horribly draughty around the black K and white still has enough manpower to make that count. <24.Rg1> puts black in all sorts of bother, e.g. <24...Rd6 25.Ne4 Re6 26.Nc5 Rc6 27.Re1> and the heavy artillery is about to invade. |
|
| Feb-23-20 | | poachedeggs: Fritz retreats the Q to c7 rather than 25. … b4 What is white's continuation? |

Feb-23-20
 | | Breunor: 22 hxg6 is not correct, the text move is better: 1) +0.35 (22 ply) 23.Rf1 hxg6 24.Qc2 Nxf2+ 25.Rxf2 Rxf2 26.Qxf2 Rf8 27.Qe1 Rf5 28.Bd2 Qc7 29.Qe8+ Kg7 30.Kg2 b4 31.Ne2 Qc2 32.Qe7+ Rf7 33.Qe5+ Kh7 34.Qe6 Kg7 35.Qe3 Qxb2 36.Nf4 b3 37.Nxd5 After the suggested hxg6:
1) +2.72 (27 ply) 23.Bxd8 Rxd8 24.Rg1 Kg7 25.Ne2 Rf8 26.Qg3 Qb6 27.Nf4 Rxf4 28.Qxf4 Qf6 29.Qc7+ Qf7 30.Qxf7+ Kxf7 31.Ra1 Ke6 32.Kg2 Kf5 33.Kf3 g5 34.Ra5 Nc2 35.Rxa6 Nxd4+ 36.Ke3 Nc2+ 37.Kd2 Nd4 38.Kd3 Ke5 39.Ke3 Nc2+ 40.Kf3 Ne1+ 41.Ke2 Nc2 42.Ra8 Nd4+ 43.Ke3 Nc2+ 44.Kd3 Ne1+ 45.Ke2 Nc2 46.Kd2 Nd4 47.Re8+ Kd6 So Nd3 is much better, black should still draw.
The losing move as poaheggs said is 25 b4; Qc7 keeps back in some trouble but likely n the game. After b4 we have:
1) +10.85 (23 ply) 26.d5 Qc7 27.Qh3 h5 28.Qe3 Qxe7 29.Bxe7 Nd3 30.Bxf8+ Rxf8 31.Qe7+ Kxg6 32.Qxf8 Ne5 33.Qxb4 Ng4 34.Qb6+ Nf6 35.Kg2 Kg5 36.h4+ Kg6 37.Qxa6 Kf7 38.Qb7+ Kg6 39.Qe7 Nh7 40.Qe8+ Kg7 41.Qxh5 Nf6 42.Qe5 After Qc7 we have:
1) +1.15 (29 ply) 26.Qh3 h5 27.Qe3 Nd3 28.Bh6+ Kf6 29.Bxf8 Qb7+ 30.d5 Rxf8 31.Qd4+ Kg5 32.g7 Qxe7 33.gxf8=Q Qxf8 34.Qxd3 Qf5 35.Qd4 Qf6 36.f4+ Kg6 37.Qe4+ Kf7 38.b4 Qa1+ 39.Kg2 Qg7+ 40.Kf2 Qb2+ 41.Kg3 Qg7+ 42.Kf3 Qg4+ 43.Kf2 Qh4+ 44.Kg1 Qg4+ 45.Kf1 Qh3+ 46.Ke1 Qxh2 47.d6 Qg1+ 48.Kd2 Qg4 49.Qe7+ Kg6 50.d7 Qxf4+ 51.Kd3 Qc4+ 52.Ke3 Qc3+ 53.Ke2 An important point is that although white's attack wasn't 'winning' if playing a computer, there are lines like these where black has to play perfectly. Pressure like this can be valuable against a human, even a GM. |
