| Apr-17-04 | | acirce: Actually Krabbé also gives an example of a Bishop being en prise from a pawn for even longer (Wolthuis - Fokkink, Amsterdam 1987) I don't find it in the database but check http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/records... :) |

| Apr-17-04 | | nikolaas: I think it's difficult to analyse the possibility hxg4 after each move. I wouldn't been delighted if I must do so. Too difficult for me. |
|
| Apr-17-04 | | acirce: Well...between moves 14 and 34 white is just being mated instantly if he captures it. |
|
| Apr-17-04 | | nikolaas: <acirce> That's true, and again I didn't see it! I think I'd better shut up; each time if I say something about a game it's wrong. I guess it's just stupidity... |

| Jul-22-05 | | PaulLovric: fantastic |
|
| Feb-05-06 | | McCool: That Knight stayed there a long time.

| Feb-23-07 | | think: Whats the finish after 60. Qb7? |
|
Feb-23-07
 | | tpstar: 60 ... Qb7 61. Kh2 h4 62. g3 hg+ 63. Kxg3 Kb6/Kb8 64. Qxb7+ Kxb7 65. h4 with a won K&P endgame since the enemy King is outside the Square.

| Feb-23-07 | | Billy Ray Valentine: <tpstar: 60 ... Qb7 61. Kh2 h4 62. g3 hg+ 63. Kxg3 Kb6/Kb8 64. Qxb7+ Kxb7 65. h4 with a won K&P endgame since the enemy King is outside the Square. > I think that is the best way to victory. Other less precise methods fail: 60... Qb7 61. Qxb7+ Kxb7 62. h4 Kc6/7 63. g4 Kd6 64. gxh5 Ke6 65. h6 Kxf6 66. h7 Kg7 and Black catches the pawn. King and Pawn endgames can be tricky, and it is easy to throw away a half point or even a whole point. Alternatively, I think 60...Qb7 61. h4 Kb6/8 62. Qxb7+ Kxb7 63. g4 Kc6/7 64. gxh5 65. Kd6 h6 66. Ke6 h7 and black does not stop white from queening... Either way, black is lost... |

| Feb-23-07 | | tatarch: Very pretty ending combination for white from move 50 to the end. |

 | | al wazir: 57...Rb7 58. Qf8+ Kc7 (58...Qc8? 59. Ra8+) 59. Rc1+ Kb6 60. Rb1+ Ka7 seems to give black better chances. |

| Jan-19-09 | | WhiteRook48: great game! That knight was SO en prise...
(sorry for the ENTIRELY obvious post.) |
|
| Jan-31-11 | | Whitehat1963: Interesting, complex, and wild puzzle-like combination to finish it. Pure pleasure! |
|
| Nov-24-15 | | kyg16: What a game!! Should be GOTD. |

 | | offramp: Miles and Ljubojevic! Two iconoclasts. Both didn't do well against Nigel Short. |

| | offramp: Today's pun refers to the ancient city in Turkey, I think. I suppose ...Ng4 was a Greek gift. |

 | | beatgiant: The defense <al wazir> posted years ago does not quite work: on 57...Rb7 58. Qf8+ Kc7 59. Rc1+ Kb6, White has 60. Qc5+ Ka6 61. Ra1#. |
|
| Sep-02-24 | | DaeWang: 60 Qe7 wow |

Black had a powerful position full of possibilities. Lljubo had a short plan: ...Bc6, ...Kd7 then ...Rag8.
27...Bc6.
28. Be4 Kd7
29. f6! Like King Cyrus of Troy, Miles is full of tricks: wiley Cyrus.
Miles's 29. f6 threatens 30. Bf5+ which is <bloody> close to checkmate.

29...Rag8.
GG! |

 | | Teyss: Oi!
Dat pon is disrespectfol, loike. Moakin' fon of Moiles' oaccent, it's jost not dune, moate. Shoame on yaoo.Hem. The g4 Knight was sort of a Trojan horse for 26 moves, but then not really: White didn't accept the Greek gift and when he eventually did, it wasn't a sac any more and didn't cause his loss. Still, funny pun and great game. Only game in the Db with 9.Bd3 so nobody knows what would have happened if White had played 13.hxg4. Afterwards it's impossible for 27 moves because of mate or loss of material. After 13.hxg4 hxg4 SF gives the logical line 14.Re1 (else mate) Qh5 15.Kf1 (same) Qh1+ 16.Ke2 Qxg2 17.Rg1 Qf3+ 18.Ke1 Qxd1+ 19.Kxd1 Rh2 20.Nc3 (20.Ke1 or Ke2, Bd4 or 20.Be3 Bxb2) Rxf2 (+1.5 at 35 ply). White has a N for 3 Ps and development is roughly equal meaning not great, but the game wouldn't have been as interesting as the present one.

 | | perfidious: Another wild tilt in which Miles' king gets kicked from pillar to post was Miles vs Ljubojevic, 1978, which White lightly annotated in the <BCM>. |

| | offramp: When Karpov entered a tournament he would look at the participants and he would would calculate how would he end with 60%. That's a reasonable method. Miles, Lljubo and the great Larsen had a different system: WIN WIN WIN WIN!!! But there might be a lot of losses. This superb game is a meeting of ethoseses. |
