| Apr-12-05 | | Poisonpawns: This is an awsome game by the Ken ,Just follow the journey of the Rook on A1,it is very interesting and instructive. |

| Apr-12-05 | | aw1988: <Poisonpawns> Tal vs Botvinnik, 1960 |
|
| Apr-13-05 | | Poisonpawns: I like the A1 rook journey in this game because the position is blocked and it seems to have no prospects but Ken forces this rook to participate in the game,great play.It is similar to the Tal game but the rook had open lines at least. |

| Dec-22-08 | | Ychromosome: 33.Qe4 that is a chess move. |
|
| Jan-08-10 | | tjipa: 33.Qe4 - a nice touch indeed! Otherwise - it seems, the young Timman got impatient with the irregular course of the game and played the seemingly sane pawn sac 24.... f4, when sth weird, maybe, was needed, like 24.... Bh6, eh? |
|
| Jun-28-10 | | jerseybob: It seems to me that 20..f4 is the natural continuation for black. Then if 21.gf,gf black has more troops ready for a k-side attack than does white. Or if 21.g4,Ng6 and the attack flows down the h-file. |
|
| Jul-01-10 | | ex0duz: What about 26.Nfxd5? Isn't that winning for black? Or at least better than the ng6-nf4 plan that black played in during the game? |

| Mar-17-12 | | King Death: <Garech>, he was a great talent that had to get down to the business of earning a living and unfortunately playing chess wasn't the way there in America. |

| Jun-12-15 | | MarkFinan: And not a pawn taken till the 22nd move. I guess that's a little rare in this day and age, the top level games I watch are all opening theory and sometimes the queens, a few pawns and a minor piece apiece down within 15-20 moves. Nice little game though. |

 | | FSR: <MarkFinan> Rogoff was obviously in a big hurry in this game. In K Rogoff vs A H Williams, 1969 he waited until move 94 to make the first trade. |

 | | perfidious: Sheer ennui nearly took over in the marathon with Williams, so Rogoff felt it necessary to take speedy action. |

| Feb-10-22 | | rwbean: SF14: 24. ♖b6 eval +1.00 (58 ply)
24. ♖b6 f4 25. gxf4 exf4 26. ♗xf4 ♘xe4 27. ♘fxe4 ♖xf4 28. ♖xf4 ♕xf4 29. ♕g3 ♘g6 30. ♕xf4 ♘xf4+ 31. ♔f1 ♗f5 32. ♘xd6 ♗xc2 33. ♗xg4 SF14: 28. e5 = (49 ply)
So 28. ♘d3 was a big mistake, Black can crash through with a ♔ side KID attack. SF14: 28... ♘xg3 eval -2.52 (75 ply)
PV: 28... ♘xg3 29. ♖xf7 ♕xf7 30. ♕xg3 ♘e5 31. ♖xc5 ♘xd3 32. ♖xc8+ ♖xc8 33. cxd3 ♗e5 34. ♕xg4+ ♕g7 35. ♕xg7+ ♔xg7 36. ♘d1 ♗d4 37. ♔f3 ♖h8 38. ♔g3 ♗e5+ 39. ♔f2 ♖h3 40. ♘e3 ♗d4 41. ♗f3 ♖xh2+ etc |
|
| Feb-11-22 | | rwbean: If 28... ♘xg3 29. hxg3 then 29... ♘e5 and current PV continues 30. ♘xe5 ♗xe5 31. ♖h1 ♗d7 32. ♘a4 b5 33. axb6 ♕e7 34. ♘c3 ♗d4 35. b7 ♖af8 36. ♖f1 ♖xf1 37. ♗xf1 ♕f7 38. ♖xd4 cxd4 39. ♘d1 ♕f3+ 40. ♔h2 ♖b8 41. ♗g2 ♕f6 42. ♕e2 ♖xb7 43. ♕xa6 ♖c7 ... 62 ply, eval -2.39 ... the White ♖ is very misplaced on c4 on White's ♕ on e1 is also doing nothing, while Black has attacking possibilities down the f and h files. Some of the lines continue ... ♗d7 and ... ♗b5 attacking White's ♖ on c4. The only way White can active the c4 ♖ is to play e5 and he failed to do that on move 28. So, Black puts a ♘ or ♗ on e5 instead and attacks with all his pieces. |
