| Feb-06-05 | | Milo: Why not 45...Kxd5 46.Re5+ Kc4 47.Re4+ Rd4 ? |
|
| Feb-06-05 | | akiba82: <Milo> Your variation is quicker, I think Blanco was just toying with his opponent, enjoying the game. |
|
| Dec-21-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: lol funny looking final position! |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | Eusebius: Funny game at the end! |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | newzild: <Milo> because of 47. Rf4+ |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | Ratt Boy: <newzild:> <Milo> because of 47. Rf4+ That's not a legal move. I think you mean 47.♖c5+. |

| Apr-07-16 | | jrpg: FWIW there's a picture of Estera with Capablanca on Corzo's page. |

| Apr-07-16 | | goodevans: Difficult to work out whether white actually messed up on the perpetual-or-stalemate plan. There are some critical squares. <e4> seems to be one. If black can get his K to e4 (as he did in the game) then there are very few squares from which white can check without allowing the K to escape. For that reason it seems to me that <52.Rb5+> would have made things tougher for black. Suppose black heads towards f3 as in the game then after <52.Rb5+ Kd4 53.Rb4+ Ke3 54.Re4+ Kf3> white now has <55.Rf4+> and the checks continue. |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | popescuag: 42. g5+ followed by cxd6 and there is no stalemate |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | goodevans: I missed <52.Rb5+ Kd4 53.Rb4+ Kxd5 54.Rb5+ Ke4> and the K escapes. As I said, <e4> is a critical square! |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | thegoodanarchist: < Honza Cervenka: "Crazy rook" failed to save white.> A good GOTD title, but not a pun. |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | thegoodanarchist: Now that I think about it, maybe it is a pun. A play on the saying "Crazy Wookie" |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | bachiller: <popescuag> I think you mean 41. ..,g5+ and then 42. .., cxd6, after white takes the pawn. However, white could play 43. Rh5 and the stalemate is still there, like Monterroso's dinosaur. |

|
| Apr-07-16 | | morfishine: This theme has always intrigued me; surely, White could've continued the checks somehow? |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | thegoodanarchist: <morfishine: This theme has always intrigued me; surely, White could've continued the checks somehow?> 53.Rc4+ seems more promising than the move played. |

|
| Apr-07-16 | | catlover: Blanco Estera's king runs amuck, taking all of Chajes' remaining pawns while Chajes' rook frantically gives check, begging to be captured. |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | RandomVisitor: After 46.Re4+
click for larger viewKomodo-9.42-64bit:
<-M11/29 46...Kc5> 47.Re1 h6 48.Rg1 Rh3+ 49.Kg4 Kxd5 50.Rf1 Rhe3 51.Rf7 Re4+ 52.Rf4 Kd4 53.Rxe4+ Kxe4 54.Kh4 Kf3 55.Kh3 Rd2 56.Kh4 Rh2+ |
|
| Apr-07-16 | | RandomVisitor: After 46...Kc5! 47.Rc4+ Kxd5 and now
a) 48.Rc5+ bxc5 frees a white pawn to move,
b) 48.Rd4+ Rxd4+ produces a check
in either case, the crazy rook is crazy no more. |
|
| Apr-09-16 | | Moszkowski012273: It's awesome how white can't play 11.g4 because of 11...Ne5 |
|
| Apr-11-16 | | kevin86: Black had to at his dead best to avoid a stalemate and that nasty rook. |
|
| May-10-16 | | Moszkowski012273: 23...Nf4 was strong. |
|
| Dec-10-18 | | Saniyat24: Oscar's Rook fought like the knight whose King and Queen was murdered, alas the black King was too cunning...! |
|
May-27-24
 | | GrahamClayton: 14 consecutive rook checks by Chajes from moves 42-53. Estera dodges the final check - 53...Re3 is stalemate. |
