 | | Sneaky: Yes! When I first saw it I thought it was a typo. |

Nov-20-06 | | ToTheDeath: Great game. Miles at his best. |

great album. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | rbelous: 54...Nxh2 55. Rg6+! and 56. Rxg2 or 56. e8Q+ |
|
Apr-18-07 | | think: Wow. 34. ... Qxe5? 35. Bd4 and black is finished |
|
Apr-18-07 | | think: How about 54. ... Nxh2 55. e8=Q g1=Q 56. Qe7+ Kh8 57. Ra8+ |
|
Apr-18-07 | | beginner64: I thought 40..Bc4 was weak.
I would prefer 40..Nc4.
If 41.Rxh6, then 41..Na3+, 42..Nc4 and attacking pawn at e5, with a passed pawn on a4. |

Apr-18-07 | | outplayer: Miles is Miles. The promoted queen in the end would be miles away for defending his king. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | JohnBoy: I like 54...Kf7 55.Rf6+! |
|
Apr-18-07 | | Karpyan: 34. Rxe5!! great vision. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | Fourpointo: Someone tell me what's wrong with 54...Kf7. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | suenteus po 147: <Fourpointo: Someone tell me what's wrong with 54...Kf7.> 54...Kf7 is met by 55.Rf6+! If Black takes the rook, Miles queens first and wins. If Black takes the e-pawn then Miles wins the knight and is two whole pieces up in a won endgame. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | Karpyan: 55. Re6 or Rf6+ would win. |

 | | chrisowen: No, that's it. The gauge of 20 Nd5/ 6 Bg5 here and white won out. |

Apr-18-07 | | Kleve: Yeah... Not chess related, but Miles Smiles is probably my favorite jazz album. |
|
Apr-18-07 | | Kleve: Took me a while to understand 34. Rx35. I'm still a chess dullard... Thanks to Think for the explanation! OK. |

Apr-18-07 | | kevin86: MILES SMILES is an album by jazz great,Miles Davis.
This game is of very high quality. The pawn race is or great interest. It looks like black would win-but he will fall under the spell of: 54...♔f7 55 ♖g6 and black will lose his far-advanced pawn or allow white's to queen with check. |

 | | fm avari viraf: It's a very interesting game. Indeed, full of high tactics till the very end by Miles. The end game is all lost for Sergey 54...Nxh2 55.e8=Q g1=Q 56.Qe7+ Kh8 57.Ra8+ Qg8 58.Qf6+ Kh7 59.Ra7+ & mates next move. |

|
Apr-18-07 | | independentthinker: why is the 35th move so good? because it is a tactic that can win the queen if black takes the pawn? surely there is more to it than that? |
|
Apr-18-07 | | Albums Dummyflap: Actually I found the opening play most interesting. I posted a thorough analysis on a CC site, but it is long and likely not wholly correct so I will post the essentials. 8...a4 looks suspect as the pawn is not so easily supported; yet it is still quite playable. I especially like 11.Qb2 over the Fritz move Qxe4 as Qxe gives Black excellent drawing chances. And analysis indicates that 12...d6 appears to be stronger than 12...O-O although I do not understand why. Could somebody explain? But white's center already looks much better, and already I cannot find a definite drawing resource for Black. I would say as of 17. Nf1 white is definitely winning, but Black's mistakes are not so obvious. Any ideas? |
|
Apr-19-07 | | kevin86: I have a better response for 54{...Nxf2 55 Rg6+!! Kxg6 56 e8=Q+ and 57 Qe3 stopping the pawn and ending a queen for a knight advantage. |

 | | GrahamClayton: It is interesting to note that Black is never able to build up any serious pressure against the White c4-pawn, which is a standard plan in similar positions, due to the early advance of the a-pawn. |
