Most of brilliant and spectacular chess games are not always work of great players. Every now and then we come across a "masterpiece" [*in english] whose creator is a real John Doe. A stroke of brilliance and inspiration for everybody else. This year, the most exciting game so far was played recently on the Chinese Championship 2011. White's combination is actually one of the most original ideas to be found in the last few years. Anyway, the chinese are coming forward really strong. There are more and more chinese players as time goes by, and they are getting better and better by the hour. What about we? [*Argentinian chess players] Well, patience and shuffling [*colloquial term meaning literally, "shuffling" (a deck of cards), as if hoping fate will deal a better hand next time].

Next ill copy the game annotations in case you're interested:

4.a3 [the always-tricky samisch variation]

11.... g5 [the very beginning of all black's difficulties in the game. It also looks better for white after 11... d6 12.f4]

15... Nh5 [Now it's the time for a sacrifice which is as hidden as it's creative]

16. Bxd6 [!]

19. Rf6 [(!) The key! After this move black's pieces are left without any chance of helping their own king because of the f-pawn blockade. Qg4 looks quite strong and menacing now.

25. Qg6+ [(!) for an amateur this might seem quite dazzling as a finishing blow, but for any GM-level player is quite easy to conceive and calculate the variations on such a winning position.

26.dxe6

And there's no defense against 27.Rxf7+.
