| May-02-04 | | wasaka: What about 22. Be7 followed by Nd6? (< punctuation only) That also seems to work. |
|
| May-02-04 | | karlzen: <wasaka>, 22.Be7? Be6! 23.Bxd8 Rxd8 24.Qe2 Qxe4! and black wins. |
|
| May-02-04 | | Ed Caruthers: After looking at 25...cxb5 & seeing 26. Qa6+, the next thing Durao would look at would be 5... Rdf8 with a mate threat. it looks like White has to keep checking. I don't see a win after Chessfected's 26. Qa8+ Bb8 27. Ba6+ Kc7 28. Qb7+ Kd8 29. Qxb8+ Bc8. Anybody? |
|
| May-02-04 | | pawntificator: I can't see a mate either...it looks like 25...Rdf8 would have been better than resigning...or perhaps he ran out of time. |

 | | jaime gallegos: mymt is right ! when I saw the way many GMs play , with rook sacs to reach a better position for example, I learn how dynamic is chess ( is not so fixed like rook=5 and N & B = 3) |
|
| May-02-04 | | notsodeepthought: 25 ... Rdf8 really seems to be the best move for black, but white may have the option to enter a technically won endgame (at least I think it's "won" at the GM level) after 26 B:d6 Qf1+ 27 B:f1 R:f1 28 Qg1 R:g1 29 K:g1 b:b5 30 B:e5. |

| May-02-04 | | Hidden Skillz: there is a mate..25 Rf8 26.Qa8+ Bb8 27.Ba6+ Kc7 28.Qb7+ Kd8 29.Qxb8+ Bc8 30. Bc5 Rf7 31.Rxe5 Qb1+ 32.Bg1 Kd7 33.Bc4 Qg6 34.Bxf7 Qf6 35.Be6+ Qxe6 36.Qa7+ Kd6 37.Rxe6+ Bxe6 its all lost for black till here..n there is a mate 12 moves from here on..final position is Ka8 n Qb8#..there r for sure other variations that can lead to a mate..but this might be the hardest 1.. |
|
| May-05-04 | | pawntificator: Thank you, Fritz. 30. Bc5 is inspired. I was analyzing my little brain off and I couldn't see that simple move. It really seems to end all hope of resistance for black. |
|
| May-07-04 | | Hidden Skillz: not fritz lol..cm8k..a good chess player even without the comp could have won that game imo..if black plays Rdf8.. cos the position is so bad for black n hopeless altho it looks good but its really not.. |
|
| May-07-04 | | pawntificator: I used to have cm8k....sigh, the good old days. |
|
| Nov-22-04 | | aw1988: Curiously, i've played this before, instead of 20...Qxf5 my opponent played 20...O-O-O. |
|
| Aug-05-05 | | gulliver: I do'nt understand why not 18.. Nf2+ |
|
| Aug-08-05 | | bggsandy: If 18...Nf2+ then Rxf2 Bxf2 Rf1 and if the bishop moves Nd6 + is deadly e.g. Ke7 either NxP for material oriented or rxp + wins. kd8 nxp forks and wins material. Nf2 is a fruitless attempt to win material. |
|
| Oct-24-07 | | venk98: but i really do not understand...20.Rxf5 was not a forced mate for black right? then y did white risk it???? |

 | | hesyrett: All this analysis of 25...Rdf8 26. Qa8+ Bb8 seems beside the point, because Black can just play (after 25...Rdf8 26. Qa8+) 26... Kc7 and White has nothing better than 27. Qa7+ with repetition. I agree in essence with notsodeepthought that White would have to enter an endgame, and since (in his line) 29...bxb5 doesn't exist (the B is no longer on b5), Black would just lose his P on e5 and remain two Ps down in a position where his P on c6 interferes with his Bishop, making it hard to hold back White's a-Pawn. |
|
| Sep-24-08 | | GrandPatzerSCL: That was a sexy combo. |
|
| Nov-02-09 | | WhenHarryMetSally: The Bb5 move is brillaint - it thwart's black's mate, as well as allowing white to mate regardless of whether black chooses to cut or not. My fav move! |
|
| Nov-01-10 | | Eduardo Bermudez: Bishop b5!! |
|
| Apr-01-12 | | wordfunph: voted as best game of the half-year volume 17 of Chess Informator. |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | ChessEthos: 9..Bc7?? Better is 9..Bd7, immediately stoping the possible pin on c6 by 10.d5 and maintains the pawn structure as it is. |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | ChessEthos: "Stopping" it should be and not "stoping". Sorry. |
|
| Dec-30-15 | | SpiritedReposte: <25. Bb5!!> Such an efficient move. |
|
| Feb-27-21 | | Dream Warrior: 25.Bb5!! |
|

 | | perfidious: Perhaps Black thought his young opponent's attack had blown out, until the denouement 25.Bb5 shattered his dreams. |
