 | | thegoodanarchist: well, at this point we've reached a table base position, so the evaluation is not debatable anymore |
|
| May-16-12 | | weisyschwarz: Pick off pawns...it's over. |
|
| May-16-12 | | SamAtoms1980: Just got back from a haircut appointment and looked at this position. Wow. |
|
| May-16-12 | | JohnRed: Funny how three passed pawns on the seventh isn't enough to win |

 | | JohnBoy: <solskytz: I saw 64. a7 Ra8 65. b6 Kc6 66. e6 winning.> For black. 66...Kxb6 and then Kc6 or c7 and the white pawns start falling. |

 | | tpstar: What a fascinating struggle!
Too bad Stripunsky didn't have more time to calculate his imaginative sacrifices, but he sure got plenty of play out of them. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Blunderdome: A rook also prevailed against multiple pawns in the recent Leko vs E Berg, 2012 |
|
| May-16-12 | | SamAtoms1980: <Shams> If Kamsky has one, there's no reason for Nakamura not to. I could probably make it myself. |
|
| May-16-12 | | solskytz: <Johnboy> yeah right, I miscalculated... fell victim to an optical illusion let's say |
|
| May-16-12 | | solskytz: <blunderdome> not to mention a quite recent Gelfand win, against a really strong opponent - but I don't remember exactly who, where and when... I'm sure someone here does though - Frogbert?
in that case it was the pawns prevailing over a material deficiency greater than a rook |
|
| May-16-12 | | Blunderdome: There's Mamedyarov vs Gelfand, 2011, but the player with the extra pawns won, not the rook. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Blunderdome: Oh, I didn't see your last sentence at first. Yes, that's probably the game you were thinking of then. |
|
| May-16-12 | | solskytz: yeah, right, mamedyarov - that famous player from the book "The rise and fall of Mamedyarov" - I remember buying it right after that golden Gelfand defeat |
|
| May-16-12 | | solskytz: You didn't see it because I wrote my original post without it - then deleted, then added and reposted :-] |
|
| May-16-12 | | Blunderdome: The official site shows the game ending after 71. Kc6. I'm guessing 72. Kd4 is the electronic board picking up a move that wasn't played, probably because the kings were placed in the center after the game. |
|

 | | Il Palazzo: On move 62 if the pawn was on g5, rather than g4, the exchange sacrifice would have been winning. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Blunderdome: <solskytz> Haha, you got me. That's a great game, though. |
|
| May-16-12 | | solskytz: <blunderdome> definitely!! By the way - how do you like my last couple of posts in page Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship (2012) ? (that's the WC page) |
