 | | Sneaky: This is the game that surely inspired Nigel Short's famous Kh2-g3-f4-g5-g6 manuveur against Jan Timman. It's always humorous to see the King play an offensive role before the endgame arrives. |

| Oct-04-03 | | rochade18: If Black tries 35...Qc5+ then Rg5 |
|

| | Sneaky: No, if Black tries 35...Qc5+ then 36.Kxh6 |
|
| Jul-19-04 | | rochade18: Did I really suggest Rg5?? Ridiculous! |
|
| Jul-19-04 | | DutchDunce: Of course, Rg5 might inspire Nigel Short's famous Re6 against Krasenkow :P |
|
| Jul-23-04 | | tomh72000: <DutchDunce> lol |
|
| Oct-03-04 | | aw1988: <rochade18: If Black tries 35...Qc5+ then Rg5> Join the club. I've sometimes suggested in a joint analysis that white drop a queen and not even realize it myself. |

| Nov-23-04 | | Whitehat1963: Player of the day takes his king for a walk. Who were these "consultants" anyway? |
|
| Nov-23-04 | | azaris: <Who were these "consultants"> Perhaps it was Arthur Andersen, the lost twin brother of Adolf Anderssen? |
|
| Jun-28-05 | | Gowe: Interesting king moves. |
|
| Feb-28-07 | | vonKrolock: Somewhere in this site we discussed, some time ago, about the identity of a fictive player named 'Beratende' - this simply means 'Consultants' in German, or 'Allies', as preferred in English: 'Beratende' appears in a Dover Editions' version of Pachman's "Strategy" - well, again the mistake is repeated by a Chess author http://www.chesscafe.com/grivas/gri... |

| Nov-07-07 | | sallom89: very nice game. |
|
| Nov-07-07 | | kevin86: This looks like a sequel to yesterday's game--My king goes a walkin'. |
|
| Nov-07-07 | | Chessmensch: Some interesting stuff that might bear on this (and is worthwhile reading otherwise): http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/....
Still, Allies' record is awful. |

 | | fm avari viraf: Usually, the King's role is in the end game but there are rare instances like this one Where the King marches on & plays a vital role in the foray. |
|
| Nov-07-07 | | RandomVisitor: Possible improvements:
10...Bg4, 13...Nc6, 16...Rxd4!  , 22...Qd2, 24...Rf7, 26...h5, 29...Qd3+, with equality in each case (or a win in the case of 16...Rxd4). |
|
| Nov-07-07 | | RandomVisitor: After 16.Nd4?

16...Rxd4! 17.Rxd4 b5! 18.Qxb5 Nxd4 would have been winning for black. |
|
| Nov-08-07 | | patzer2: White's 32. Rg3! deflects the Black Queen off the g-file and prepares 33. fxg6  with a decisive mate threat, after which the White King has to march from under pawn cover and survive a few spite checks. |

| Dec-22-08 | | WhiteRook48: These kings won't ally |
|
| Feb-20-09 | | fred lennox: To appreciate the brilliancy of this game just look at the position after move 27. Black king does not look seriously threatened. White's king does not look at all like a serious threat. Yet what follows proves otherwise. Such subtle harmony of pieces allows white to create a decisive attack with a simplicity worthy of Rubinstein. |
|
| Mar-06-09 | | WhiteRook48: who are these allies anyway |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: Allies is the plural of NN. |
|
| Aug-20-11 | | bengalcat47: There is another famous king-walk game that was played by Anderssen in which the white king marches up the field to play a key role in trapping his black colleague. I can't recall this off hand, so if anyone knows which game it is please let me know. Thanks! |

| | Phony Benoni: <bengalcat47> Anderssen vs De Riviere, 1859. A famous modern game with this theme is Short vs Timman, 1991. |
|
| Mar-18-13 | | solskytz: A remarkable game, which features in FM Amatzia Avni's first book, first published in Israel in 1989 - which was one of my first chess book (and one I bought, and then won in a competition three days later) - "Creative chess". Recommended!! Many amazing and unusual gems of "playing outside the box" |
