| Oct-19-05 | | tolow4y: yeah, white to move, 28.? |
|
| Jul-23-08 | | RookFile: This is really a beautiful game. Polu got as high as being the second strongest player in the world in 1972, while Reshevsky was well past his prime. |

 | | Benzol: Strange that this game turns up in two Interzonal collections. Was it played at Palma in 1970 or Petropolis in 1973? |
|
| Sep-28-12 | | Petrosianic: 1970. Their 1973 game was a draw. |

| Nov-16-15 | | jerseybob: I love the unstereotyped approach Reshevsky takes here: after the move 11..d4(which may be Soviet analysis)12.Nb5,Nc6 13.e3! which seems weakening, but what else to do? And it opens an escape square for my favorite move of the game, 18.Kf2! all of which Reshevsky probably foresaw. And he keeps piling on the good moves for the rest of the game. A vintage performance. |
|
| Nov-16-15 | | Marmot PFL: The only move by black the Reshevsky criticized was 10...g5. otherwise 18 Kf2 would be risky but now white gets to black's king first. 10...Nc6 was only a slight edge for white. |
|
| Nov-16-15 | | jerseybob: <Marmot PFL: The only move by black the Reshevsky criticized was 10...g5.> I'm assuming he annotated that game in one of his books, a book I used to have(the one with the red cover). Now if after 10..Nc6 white goes 11.e3, it transposes into the game Lombardy-Hutchings(Haifa '76), where after 11..d4 12.ed,Qd4 13.Qd4,Nd4 14.000 white scored a crushing win. There are better 11th moves for black. |

| Feb-28-20 | | stacase: I didn't even consider 30.h4 but I got the first two moves. |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | areknames: What a game, one of Polu's only 2 losses in the Interzonal. 30.h4! is such a star move. |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | Walter Glattke: White has a pawn and a bishop for a knight, playing on point g7 with 28.Rd7+ Nxd7 29.Qxd7+ Kg6 30.Qg7+ Kh5 31.h3 Rxf5 32.hxg4++ Kxg4 33.Rxh6, maybe good for black. Or 30.-Kxf5 31.Rf1+ Ke5 Rxf8 good for white. White could play 28.Qxb6 axb6 29.Bxe5 Nxe5 30.Rc4 with litte advantage. |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | Walter Glattke: After 30.h4 black cannot play 30.-Rxf5 31.h5# |

 | | woldsmandriffield: 28 Rd6 is also crushing & was my choice here. |

Black threatens Qe6.
The airy position of the black king suggests 28.Rd7+ Nxd7 (28... Kh8 29.Bxe5+ Nxe5 30.Qxe5+ wins decisive material) 29.Qxd7+ Kg6 (29... Kg8 30.Qg7#) 30.h4 (threatens h5#) A) 30... gxh4 31.Nxh4+ Kg(h)5 32.Qd5+ and mate in two. B) 30... h5 31.Ne7+ Kh6 (else Nd5+ wins) 32.hxg5+ Kxg5 33.Qd5+ and mate in three. C) 30... Nf6 31.h5+ Nxh5 32.Ne7+ Kf(h)7 33.Nd5+, followed by Nxb5, wins. |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | Honey Blend: I would have played 28. ♖d6 in a blitz/rapid game. Still looks winning to me. |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | Walter Glattke: Don't play 28.Rd6 Qb5+ |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: <areknames> <30.h4! is such a star move.> Yeah, not only does the text move not work but if 30..gxh4, you get 31.Nxh4+ Kh5 32.Qd5+ Ne5 33.Qxe5+ Kg4 34.Qg7+ Kh5 35.Nf3# Or if 30...Kh5 you get 31.Ng3+ Kg6 32.h5#.
Plus it's impressive that white finds this combination under pressure after black plays 27...Nce5 below.

| Feb-28-20 | | alshatranji: Is chrisowen getting coherent? |
|
| Feb-28-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I didn't see the game line. I did seee 28 Re6, however, which also wins solidly. |
