| Jun-08-10 | | hannahbelle: tempo steal |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | squlpt: Doesn't 26. Rf7 win for white? |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | hstevens129: Continuation being: 35. Kxa1 Qc3+ 36. Kb1 Qb2# (or 36. Ka2 Qb2#) |

 | | Once: Now that's a sicillian! Castling on opposite sides, raging mating attacks and a rook sacrifice to gain a tempo. This is a chess opening for real men who like their steaks rare. Too macho and bloody for me. As black, I wimp out with the girly French. I particularly liked 32. Ra3+ setting up this position: 
click for larger viewOf course, white cannot take the b4 pawn, as he would walk into a world of hurt in the middle of all those black pieces. The simplest is probably 33...Qb6+, but black also mates with Qe7+, Na2+, Nd5+, Rxd4+ and Ra4+. |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | dotsamoht: <squlpt> Exactly what I am thinking... Whassup with this move? |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | dotsamoht: <sqult> I show 26 Rf7 axb+ 27 Kxb2 Rxa2+ 28 Kb3 Ra3+ 29 Kb2 Ra2+ with a draw. |

 | | scormus: What a battle, both players going for the kill. Great stuff, the way I like to see Sicilian game. Whenever I see a game like this I think it could have gone the other way. 26 Rxf8 is interesting but I doubt if it wins in all lines. But 26 Qxe6 seems to hand the initiative to B. The position after 25 ... a3 would have made a good weekend puzzle. BTW I'm seeing this as GOTD, when was it a puzzle? |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | JohnBoy: <dotsamoht> - your 26 Rf7 axb+ 27 Kxb2 Rxa2+ fails to draw due to 28 Kxa2. The white Q controls c2 so black does not get a perpetual. I certainly don't see 26 Rf7 as  (mentioned above by <patzer2>). |
|

| | scormus: The more I look at this the more interesting this becomes. Anyone following <the JohnBoy line 28 Kxa2 > try looking at the continuation after 28 ... Nc3+. W has 3 alternatives, and so far it looks to me like they each take different paths to 0-1. |

| | scormus: and a 4th one that doesn't ;-) |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | kevin86: It looked that white's attack would succeed-but it was black-who in the turtle way of slow and steady-won the contest. |

I think the same. this game needs nerves of steel. Violence game. In the final mate position, the kings stay in oposite corners. |
|

 | | NM JRousselle: This was a wild one, exactly what a Sicilian should look like. 26 Qe6 looks suspect. 26 b3 looks like a better try to me. |

 | | chrisowen: Be careful pawn and queen make fairy tale ending. A haphazard 19.bh7+ illustrate sicilian nature heading up a rumpus king hunt, proposition 30..nc3+ can the horse draw a thing galling king out? Yes open lines are monsters no kidding. Black maxed his threat staring down the plate. 30.rxd4 at the door black wolfed it bolting across mate in seven?. I imagine the hundred percent anger additionally white might have felt after the drama, a little red cap. |
|
| Jun-08-10 | | fernandojaume: ummm... 24...g5! in my game |
|
Jun-08-10
| | scormus: <Violence game> Absolutely! I look forward to more like this. I always thought the Sicilian was the streetfighter's choice, and this more or less proved it. Here we had two of them trading punches until one of them was, how to say ..... dead |
|
| Jun-09-10 | | lzromeu: <scormus> I really enjoyed your comment. Maybe we can say: The players was punching the alone enemy king, to death them firstly. :) |
