May-06-16 | | Howard: I'll check the Informant when I get home, but I think this game made the top-five of the best games for that particular volume. |
|
May-06-16 | | Jim Bartle: First, I think. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: In case anybody else was wondering why not 27...Kxe5?, there's a brilliant interference ploy where white forces black's king to get in his own way: 28.Rhe1+ Kd6 29.Re6+ Bxe6 30.Bxe6 Kxe6 31.Kxg4 |

 | | offramp: <I told him Bolsover Street was in the middle of an intricate one-way system. It was a one-way system easy enough to get into. The only trouble was that, once in, you couldn't get out. I told him his best bet, if he really wanted to get to Bolsover Street was to take the first left, first right, second right, third on the left, keep his eye open for a hardware shop, go right round the square, keeping to the inside lane, take the second Mews on the right and then stop. He will find himself facing a very tall office block, with a crescent courtyard. He can take advantage of this office block. He can go round the crescent come out the other way, follow the arrows, go past two sets of traffic lights and take the next left indicated by the first green filter he comes across. He's got the Post Office Tower in his vision the whole time. All he's got to do is to reverse into the underground car park, change gear, go straight on, and he'll find himself in Bolsover Street with no trouble at all.> - Pinter. |

Aug-11-18 | | cunctatorg: Beautiful game!! |
|
Aug-11-18 | | frdmchd: I am new to chess and would appreciate your help with the following inquiry. After black 9.c5, why didn't white bishop took the pawn instead of moving back to c4? |
|
Aug-11-18 | | frdmchd: Sorry. The question was incorrect. After black 9.c5, why didn't white bishop took the pawn instead of moving back to e2? |

 | | doubledrooks: <frdmchd> Because after 10.Bxb5 comes 10...Qa5+ followed by 11...Qxb5, winning a bishop for a pawn. |
|
Aug-11-18 | | frdmchd: Thank you. Very helpful. Another question, if I may. Since I started learning chess, I've been fascinated by aggressive players. Among these, I enjoy studying the games of Alexander Alekhine and Mikhail Tal. They are fun to watch. Any other aggressive players you would recommend for me to study? |
|
Aug-11-18 | | Strelets: <frdmchd> With pleasure. There's Paul Keres, Miguel Najdorf, David Bronstein, Efim Geller, Bent Larsen, Ljubomir Ljubojević, Lev Polugaevsky, Leonid Stein, Garry Kasparov, Alexei Shirov, Vassily Ivanchuk, Judit Polgár, Anand, Veselin Topalov, Levon Aronian, and as far as feats of brute force calculation it's impossible to leave out Viktor Korchnoi even if he wasn't an attacker in the sense of these other players. Study these outstanding grandmasters and you will play beautifully. |
|
Aug-11-18 | | Strelets: This is an excellent game from the opening on. Did Pintér also use the Grünfeld? His handling of this Semi-Tarrasch reminds me a lot of how a Grünfeld player would meet 1.d4 |

Nov-30-18 | | Ironmanth: Geez, what a heretofore unknown (to me!) classic! Smashing mate. Thinking that I saw him play in at least several World Opens in Philly in the eighties. Thanks for this one, chessgames! |

How does black reply to 25. c7 ?
<saffuna>
Pinter could play 25...Rd7, and Portisch has no way of defending the pawn. |

Mar-27-22 | | IvKolisch: <frdmchd>You may also be interested in looking at the games of Planinc, Kupreichik and Nezhmetdinov if you are looking for the sheer imaginative beauty of combinative brilliance and brute force as well as <Strelets>'s estimable list. I realize your comments are now from some time ago, but I am a latecomer to commenting. |
