| Oct-13-12 | | GilesFarnaby: Every variation below is playable for both sides, unless stated otherwise. The rule of thumb here is that, after a convoluted and short middle game, with precise play multiple exchanges are not avoidable and a simple and balanced endgame arises: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 Nbd7 7. f4 e6 8.

| Jan-20-13 | | Shams: "The only truly memorable combinational effort [of 2012]." -- Shipov http://crestbook.com/en/node/1783 |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | Abdel Irada: Amazing finish: Black is two pawns up in a rook-and-bishop ending with bishops of opposite color, and dead lost. |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | King Sacrificer: Reminds me this game -> Y Gusev vs Averbakh, 1946 |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | morfishine: 21.Bd8 is a wonderful shot
A beautiful game on the whole, but it appears flawed in one variation, namely 26...Bxc5? when Black needed to play 26...Bxc6 |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | kevin86: A different kind of game. White seals black's pieces in the coffin. |

| Jan-23-13 | | axy: Please forgive the silly question:
What am I missing by thinking of 24.qf7? |

| Jan-23-13 | | King Sacrificer: <axy: Please forgive the silly question: What am I missing by thinking of 24.qf7?> 24...Rxf7 |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | mprodrigues: except the fact that there is a black rook defending f7 you aren't missing anything :p |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | Bartimaeus: What an incredible game !! Brilliant tactics from Volokitin in a classic Najdorf. 15. ...Rb8 seems dicey. Better might be Be6 or dxe5. The inability to castle had a telling effect on Shak's game. He was effectively playing a rook down the whole game and that enabled White to produce beautiful sacrifices like 21. Bd8!! deflecting the Queen and piling on the pressure on f7. Overall, a beautiful game and a nice pun. |

21.Bd8!! Marvellous!! |
|

|
| Jun-18-15 | | FairyPromotion: 21. Bd8!! still gives me chills. |
|
| Dec-15-15 | | falso contacto: Totally missed this game. |
|
| Mar-14-17 | | Howard: Timman stated in NIC back in the 2012/8 issue that Houdini rated the final position as one where White had an advantage of just .86---despite the fact that Black is dead lost. Anyone have an engine (such as an improved version of Houdini) that can do "better" ? |

Anyone have an engine (such as an improved version of Houdini) that can do "better" ?> Houdini was not especially good at deep search back then - its strength lay elsewhere. Nowadays Stockfish 8 rates this as +4 in less than 10 seconds. Still, Timman's statement is quite incorrect - after some 30 seconds Houdini 1.5 (from 2011) also rates this correctly as lost for Black. |
