May-16-12 G Vescovi vs E L'Ami, 2006

Stelling: Actually on move 49 Vescovi also had a problem like drawing opportunity: 49. Qh6+ Kg8
50. Kh4! Qxg4+
51. Kxg4 hxg2
52. Qg5+ Kf8
53. Kf5! Bxd5
54. Qd8+ Re8
55. Qxd5 g1=Q
56. Qxf7+! and white is stalemated.

"not stalemating the black king and pushing the g-pawn after f5, but forcing the promotion of d-pawn, using a classical triangle-maneuver 75.Kc4 Kc8 76.Kd4 Kd8 77.Kc5 Kc8 78.Kc6 Kd8 79.d7" Actually there is no triangulation available, after 77. Kc5 blacks plays 77. ...

Stelling: SuperPatzer77: <TheaN> Bravo!!! You're absolutely right about 64. Qc2+! only move for White's win. Actually no, 64. Qb7+ or 64. Qb8+ do the trick and even win faster than 64. Qc2+.
When the black king goes to c1 white checks on the c file (getting closer to the king) and if ...

Stelling: <ToTheDeath> It is a long lapse between your question and my reply but as far as I know Deep Blue didn't resign. It lost on time.

Stelling: 39. Bg8! the nice variation comes after 39. ... Q:g8 40. Qc7+ Ke8 41. Qc8+ Kf7 42. Qd7+ Kf8 43. Q:d6+ Ke8 44. Qb8+ Kf7 45. Qc7+ Ke8 46. Qc8+ Kf7 47. Qd7+ Kf8 48. d6 Qf7 49. Qc8+ Qe8 50. d7
There may be a shorter solution though.

Stelling: <Blumster> That's correct, that was an "odds" game played during one of Morphy's exhibition games in New York. Napoleon (Arthur Napolećo) was 16 when this game was played.

Stelling: <zooter> After 35. ... Bh3+ 36. K:h3 f1=Q+ 37. R:f1 R:f1 38. B:e2 black material advantage is not as big as if you play Bh3+ AFTER white captures on f1 with the a1 rook.
In the game continuation 37. B:e2 would leave white with a rook down instead of just an exchange.

Stelling: @ <al wazir>: after 38...Kh8 39. Ne5 Qc8 white can play 40. Nf7+ Kg8 (40. ... Kg7? 41. Nd6+ grabs the queen immediately) 40. Nd6 followed by Re8. The problematic line is 38. ... Kh8 39. Ne5 Qb8 instead.
