 | | Honza Cervenka: "Crazy rook" failed to save white. |
|
| Oct-15-03 | | AdrianP: <Honza> Love it... do you no any other games with such spectacular stalemate sacs (successful ones included!). I like the way the B king munches the pawns before settling on the key e3 square. |
|

| | Honza Cervenka: <AdrianP> See Ehrhardt Post vs Nimzowitsch, 1905 or Matulovic vs Suttles, 1970 |

 | | chessgames.com: Thanks, Honza, for this great find. |
|
| Oct-16-03 | | JSYantiss: The players missed a draw by repetition here after move 26...Qe7. This position had just been repeated three times with that move. |
|

| | Honza Cervenka: I think that the rule was then a little bit different. Threefold repetition of moves was necessary for a chance to claim the draw, not only a treefold repetition of position like it is in present. The threefold repetition of moves did not occur here as black did not play 27...Qh4. |

|
| 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 | | 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. |

 | | AylerKupp: Here is an example of computer "Crazy Rook": Shredder vs Gull, 2013. |
|
| 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. |

 | | Sneaky: Another specimen for my butterfly collection — Game Collection: Crazy Rooks |
|
| 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. |
