 | | perfidious: <Gilmoy> Your pun may make it on the big screen one day, though somehow I suspect it's been employed before now..... Without having subjected this game to anything like a thorough analysis, my judgment is that Leko likely missed some chances to draw as you stated. |

Aug-28-11 | | dumbgai: Go Shankland! This kid is good. |

|
Aug-28-11 | | dumbgai: One way white could have played it safe is 46. Nxf8+ Rxf8 47. a4. |

 | | HeMateMe: Sam shanked a pretty good player, here. |
|
Aug-29-11 | | positionalgenius: Oh boy... Leko really pressed too hard here. |
|
Aug-29-11 | | haydn20: Black seems to have equalized by move 14. In order to get anything going White needed f4 around move 18 maybe. 53 f4 may be too aggressive as White doesn't really have much. FWIW Fritz 12 gives 57 Ra6 a ? and 60 Rg6?? It's clear White had a draw but did he overreach or just get outplayed? |
|
Aug-29-11 | | haydn20: <dumbgai> Your line does look safe--and 47 Nc7 Re7 looks fine too. |
|
Aug-29-11 | | hedgeh0g: Call the police: Leko got shanked. |
|
Aug-29-11 | | Whitehat1963: Leko finally makes it onto my collection. |

|

|
Sep-01-11 | | Bobsterman3000: <Black's interlocking dense pack.> Nice description. |
|
Jan-26-12 | | nolanryan: and after this, Leko quit chess |
|
Sep-10-12 | | wordfunph: "After he resigned, I went numb. For the first four hours of the game I was just worse, and I felt I got more than I deserved. About an hour later it started to sink in that I had defeated a 2730 who was once one game away from the world championship, and boy did it feel good!" - GM Samuel Shankland |

 | | MissScarlett: It was: Shankland vs A Liang, 2018 |
|
Jun-08-24 | | goodevans: <OCF: Excellent pun.> / <Missy: It was...> Yeah, you'd think whoever's in charge of the GOTD would do something to stop repeat puns getting chosen. |
|
Jun-08-24 | | goodevans: Apparently Leko's last chance to save this was <63.Be1! Kd7 64.Bc3!>. Fancy missing that. |

 | | FSR: <goodevans: <OCF: Excellent pun.> / <Missy: It was...> Yeah, you'd think whoever's in charge of the GOTD would do something to stop repeat puns getting chosen.> Missy considers it a triumph if she manages on a given day to stop a repeat pun from getting used for the <same game>. |
