 | | saffuna: < Ivanchuk wasn't in his prime. His best chess was played in the late 2000's.> Really? At the time of this match he was 22, ranked 2nd in the world, had won Linares (including a victory over Kasparov), had defeated his earlier round opponent (Yudasin?) 4.5-0.5, and was generally considered to be the biggest threat to Kasparov. |

| | saffuna: Remember it was more or less a rapid game, under tremendous pressure, and the coup in Moscow was going on at the same time. |

| | saffuna: I'm saying it was difficult to play their best. They both said that afterward, as did the other USSR players in Brussels (Gelfand and Karpov). |

|
| Jul-11-17 | | ChessHigherCat: On move 21, we see a splendid example of "Yusupov's Gun" with Bishop-Knight-Queen-Knight perfectly aligned on the g file preparing to give a dose of Cancer in Uranus. |

| Aug-08-17 | | malt: Nice move 32.Nf2! and 33.Nh3 |
|
| Jan-03-18 | | saintdufus: Yusupov's 28...Rg6!! reminds me of Spassky's 16th move in Spassky vs Bronstein, 1960, 16.Nf7!!, letting the opponent take a whole rook *with check*. |

| Jan-04-18 | | morfishine: Incredible game, a pity it was a playoff game at less than classical time controls ***** |

The game continuation was forced, as 30.Nce7 loses to the clearance idea 30....Qh1+ 31.Bxh1 Nh2+ and mate next move. |

30. Nce7 Qh1+ 31. Bxh1 Nh2 mate |
|

| | saffuna: <30. Nce7 Qh1+ 31. Bxh1 Nh2 mate> Sorry, still not mate. 32. Ke1 Rg1 is mate. |
|
| Oct-10-18 | | Inocencio: Both players are warriors. They entertain spectators. |

| Apr-12-20 | | Llera: Llera: <error: 36.Rdb1 Ne4 37.Ke1 Qg1+ 38.Bf1 Qf2+ 39.Kd1 Qxf1+ 40.Kc2 Qxe2+ 41.Kb3 Qd3+ 42.Kb4 Qc3+ 43. Kb5 a6+ 44. Kb6 Qxc4 looks pretty good for Black> Hasn't anyboby noticed that if 36...Ne4, White has a draw by repetición with 37.Rb7+ Kg8 (37...Kh8 Nd2+ is the same) 38.Rg7+ Kh8 (or ...Kg8, 38.Rg7+ Kh8 39.Rf7 Nd2+ 40. Ke1 Nxg2 41. Rf8+) 39.Rf7 Nd2+ 40. Ke1 Qxg2 41.Rf8+ is draw by repetition. |

| | saffuna: I put Stockfish to work before white's 25th, the "wrong knight" move. It saw 25. Nde7 as winning for a looong time, before finally seeing black's winning line and reversing to -2.5 or so. The evaluation fluctuates a lot through Yusupov's moves, especially preferring 27...Bf6 to Re6 and giving white the advantage after 28...Rg6 allowed the white queen to snatch the a8 rook. But it eventually comes around to comprehending Yusupov's sacrificial attack. What does Stockfish think of 25 Nce7? At depth 35 it still gives white a massive advantage. |

| | perfidious: It is telling that even <fishie> took a while to come to grips with this extraordinarily complex position, pointing up the difficulties even a great player faced at the board, and serves as a cautionary tale for those who routinely score strong grandmasters for their errors of omission and commission. |
|
Jul-23-23
| | saffuna: When I played Nde7 at depth 28 or so, stockfish went several moves giving white +4 or more before jumping to 0 after I believe 28... Rg6, then going negative bigly. I suspect it's the sacrificial maneuvering with the black queen and rook, plus the brutal pawn on e3, that kept stockfish from seeing it sooner. |
