 | | Fusilli: <CapablancaFan: The power of the pin exploited to the fullest.> Indeed. It reminds me of the final position of Kaplan vs Bronstein, 1975. |
|
Oct-29-11 | | bubuli55: Black, instead of pulling back the LSB to defense, gave up quality for a strong q-pawn, strong LSB and weak Kside light squares for White. not a guaranteed win. but kudos to GM Eugene Torre for taking the risk and converting it to a win. Nice game! |
|
Oct-29-11 | | wordfunph: 33...Qf3! Torre simply handcuffed Ogaard :( |

Apr-18-15 | | narayase: nice game |
|
Apr-18-15 | | alfamikewhiskey: <what sort of name is leif?> Common Nordic name. Most famous is Leif (Leiv) Erikson (Eiriksson), who came to Labrador/Newfoundland from Iceland in 998. Didn't stay long in North America, though, due to trouble with the indigenous peoples, as his sister, Frøydis, reports. |

 | | Phony Benoni: A smile-inducing finish. Not technically zugawang, since Black does have the threat of eventually planting a pawn on g3. But very attractive as a Zuggernaught, |

Apr-27-15 | | goodevans: Not the first time this pun has been used: Carlos Torre vs Saemisch, 1925 |
|
Apr-27-15 | | morfishine: Ogaard earned his final GM norm when he was 55 years old |

 | | Phony Benoni: <goodevans> So? If a pun is good, why not use it again if it's appropriate? And if it's bad, well, it's a pun. It's supposed to be bad. |

|
Apr-27-15 | | pedro99: O my Gaard! |

 | | kevin86: Looks like a great zugzwang finish! |
|
Apr-27-15 | | goodevans: There is still room in the final position for black to screw up. For example <34.g4 Kh7?? 35.b6!>. Maybe just one more move from white was in order. |
|
Apr-27-15 | | Artemio: a fine finish for Eugene,,,,first Asian GM |
|
Apr-27-15 | | ahedresandro: Nice collection! |
|
Apr-27-15 | | Mudphudder: Geezus. The mother of all Zugzwangs! |
|
Dec-16-16 | | bubuli55: "I've been up and down. That's Leif." |
|
Sep-11-17 | | Arconax: Well, the "Son of Sorrows" defense certainly caused White much sorrow in this game. |
|
May-29-18 | | Toribio3: Pin is mightier than a sword! |
