Rxd1 Kf8 27. c7 etc      Dec-31-11 V Kahn vs R Blanco Estera, 1939    Takya Kotov: How did white allow himself to get into this mess? The solution was not hard either...an obvious "sacrifice" with nothing much to lose.      Sep-18-11 Polugaevsky vs E Torre, 1984    Takya Kotov: Good play by white. However I think the fact that he had a sure fire perpetual in hand influenced the decision making.      Mar-25-11 A J Mestel vs Beliavsky, 1974   Takya Kotov: 35. gxf6 h5+ 36. Kg5 Rg3#      Feb-13-11 R Jumabayev vs D Khismatullin, 2011   Takya Kotov: 26. Bxe5 Qd5      Mar-04-10 Kotov vs Bronstein, 1944    Takya Kotov: I wonder where the title of this Game of the Day got it's inspiration? Fame at last!      Jun-23-09 S Arkhipov vs M Turov, 2002   Takya Kotov: ? Time      May-17-09 S Megaranto vs J Plenca, 2009    Takya Kotov: Oops!      May-11-09 A Gabrielian vs M Krylov, 2009    Takya Kotov: Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome back to the King's Gambit. This game will either want you to go out and play it today or avoid it like the plague. I'm too old to care about my rating nowadays, so I'm going to give it a go!      May-03-09 O Gavrilov vs S Solovjov, 2005    Takya Kotov: It's a good combination and not easy to for an amateur to spot, but a pro would expect to see this every time. Does that make it an "insane" puzzle? Probably not.
