| Mar-14-14 | | SpiritedReposte: Down two exchanges he sacs a bishop ending up with 5 pawns for a rook. Good nerves Shirov. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: <Jim Bartle> and <vanytchouck>: Shirov said he really wanted this game because <Europe Echécs"> had called him the "new Lautier" and he wanted to reverse that.> That's funny because I just commented on another game between these two that "Lautier out-Shiroved Shirov" but in this game "Shirov out-Lautiered Lautier". I think Lautier definitely had the talent to become world champion but maybe he wasn't willing to devote every waking minute to chess. According to his bio he no longer considers himself a professional chessplayer and has become a businessman who works in Russia a lot. I met him several times in the "Jardin du Luxembourg" in Paris with his father 25 years ago and he was the nicest kid you could imagine, not the least bit pretentious, although he was already playing like a very strong master. |

 | | offramp: Like most people on this site I use pgn4web as the PGN viewer. I cannot use anything else because I am using Google Chrome, which thinks that Adobe is run by communists and blackhats intent on world takeover. But if pgn4web collapses then I can't see the game and I have to go by my memory. Here I remember that Shirov gave up two exchanges, then a bishop. He ended up with about 5 passed pawns for a rook. Even so, Lautier missed a draw in time trouble and was then overrun. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: After 14...g5, Black's position looked *horrible;* another case where looks deceive? In any case, quite the amazing attack from Shirov. |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | dfcx: 30.Qg2! draws |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | dfcx: also 30...Qf2! wins faster than the game line. |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | eykca: damn, this must be the Shirov ppl speak so glowingly about, before my time I suppose. Amazing. |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | poslednieje: Drstrangelove -- Euwe-Capablanca 1929 - Bad Kissingen, endgame 4 pawns versus rook, draw. |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | The Kings Domain: Impressive foresight and depth by Shirov in his bold combinative play. Memorable and instructive game when these two were budding talents in the game's last great era. The good old days. |
|
| Jul-06-17 | | Iwer Sonsch: Seems like people were so Shirov this game being worth a GOTD that they only had time for this embarrassingly Lau-tier pun. |

| | offramp: User: poslednieje It is
Euwe vs Capablanca, 1929. |

 | | catlover: Excellent choice for GOTD. Very bold play by Shirov. At the end, the black pawns look like army ants. |

 | | casaschi: <offramp> what do you mean with "if pgn4web collapses"? Could you share an example of a page where pgn4web fails? Also, which os/browser combination are you using? |

| | offramp: <casaschi> When I first had a look at this game today the pgn was all out of wack. Below the board was 1. 0 and nothing alse. I clicked on c3 but the PGN was incomplete apart from the top 4 lines. I tried a few other PGN readers but they never work. But within a few minutes it was all back up & running again! How cool isnthat! |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: Here's another very creative tactical struggle between these two players, with Lautier coming out on top. (It was the daily puzzle from this June 4th as well). Shirov vs Lautier, 1995 |
|
| Jul-08-17 | | condor: Most imaginative game ever. Pure magic |
|
| Apr-25-18 | | Saniyat24: Is the pun like, Steve Vai himself? :D |
|
| Aug-02-19 | | Howard: This game is annotated in Nunn's excellent Understanding Chess Move by Move. He states that on the 25th move, Lautier might have won if he'd played 25.Rdc2. |
