Jun-21-05 | | Marco65: I'm still looking at the win after 20...hxg5. After 21.Qh5 Nf8 22.e6 Nxe6 previous <Gowe>'s analysis seems to forget that a pawn is still in f7. I like more 21.Bh7+ as <The Long Diagonal> suggested (2 years ago): 21...Kf8 22.Rxf7+! Kxf7 23.Qh5+ Ke6 24. Qg6+ Ke7 25.Qxg5+ Ke8 (moving on the f-file allows White to activate the rook, while 25...Ke6 26.Bf5+ Kf7 27.e6+ Ke8 28.exd6+ ) 26.Bg6+ Kf8 27.Rf1+ Kg8 28.Bf7+ Kf8 29.Be6+ Ke8 30.Qg6+ Ke7 31.Qf7# |

Jun-21-05 | | DanRoss53: Great anaylsis <The Long Diagonal>! Do you really think Black saw all of the continuations, or do you think Black was trying to avoid the obvious draw of 20... hxg5 21. ♗h7+ ♔xh7 22. ♕h5+ ♔g8 23. ♕xf7+ ½-½? Furthermore, do you think that perhaps Black took into consideration the fact that he was playing Salomon Flohr and decided 20... hxg5? was obviously a trap? |
|
Jun-21-05 | | kevin86: The attack went right to the bitter end,where a rook escorts a lowly pawn past an unsuspecting bishop. I especially enjoyed the oscillating pin of the hapless black rook by the queen at c4 and g4. Salo squared! |

Jun-21-05 | | aw1988: Did Flohr cut the board in half? |
|
Jun-21-05 | | ajile: The really bad move is 16...NxN by Black. Before that he had less space but a solid position. After 17. fxe5 Black's best defender of the K-side (the NF6)is removed and he invites a classic style attack from White. Black should have been more patient and built up his pieces on the C file where he had better potential counterplay. |

Mar-24-18 | | Retireborn: This game (which has been anthologized by Fine, Reinfeld etc) was played in the Antwerp 1930 tournament; I suppose Anvers is the French name for the place. A complete crosstable is here:-
http://www.belgianchesshistory.be/t... I should love to know what month the tournament was played in, if anybody can track down those references (the Paige site seems to be malwared.) |

Mar-24-18 | | Retireborn: <Stonehenge> Many thanks. Not the first time you've been a tremendous help! |

Mar-24-18 | | Captain Hindsight: <21.Rxf7!!> would have been the best move by far.

 | | Honza Cervenka: In his annotations of this game Flohr wrote that 20...hxg5 would be followed with 21.Bh7+ Kf8 (21...Kxh7 22.Qh5+ Kg8 23.Qxf7+ Kh7 24.Rf3 g4 25.Rf5 etc.) 22.Rxf7+ Kxf7 23.Qh5+ Kf8 24.Rf1+ and white wins. But there seems to be a problem with his sideline, as after 20...hxg5 21.Bh7+ Kxh7 22.Qh5+ Kg8 23.Qxf7+ Kh7 24.Rf3 g4 25.Rf5 black has 25...Nf6! 26.Qxc7 Rd7 (diagram) and where is the win? click for larger view |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Of course, after 20...hxg5 white is not obliged to play 21.Bh7+, he can play 21.e6 and maybe even 21.Rxf7 but taking the Knight was black's best practical chance. |

Dec-26-21 | | probabilitytheorist: Great game by Flohr.
20. Ng5!! was a beautiful shot. |

Dec-26-21 | | probabilitytheorist: Stockfish 14 gives
20. hxg5 21. Qh5 Nf8 22. e6! Rd7 23. Bxg7! Kxg7 24. Qxg5+ Ng6 25. Qf6+ Kg8 26. exf7+ Rxf7 27. Qxg6+ Rg7 28. Qe6+ Kh8 29. Rf3 (+6.72). |

I cannot see a win for white after 25... g6 either, in the event black had played 23... Kh8 rather than 23... Kh7. |

win for black |
