Jan-04-05		ArturoRivera: Blacks 29 move was a desesperated one, probably hoping black getting into the suicidal mate web: 29.-...Kxh7?? 30.-Qxf7+ Kh8 31.-Rh8+ Nh4 32.-Rxh4 mates. Blacks reply was very wise, he could capture the knight safely since 31.-...Qxa1! 32.-Rxa1 Bc3! 33.-Rh8 a7 Snatching even more material. Now black easily changes material since he has a lot of it, with 32.-d3 the capture with the pawn was forced since 33.-Kxd3? e4+ 34.-Kxe4 Qxf6 In 33.-...Kb2+ the retreath of the king to the f square was forced due to the letal menace of 34.-...e4 After the queen was exchanged the passed pawn proves letal Move 40 proves very interesting due to the obvious move of promoting the pawn allows white an easy draw via: 40.-...a1=Q?? 41.-Rxg6+! fxg6 (forced, if not Qg7 mates) 42.-Qxg6+ Kh8 43.-Qh6+ and is a draw beacause the black king cant get out of the checks. Interesting is the way black fights for promoting with a tempo. 40.-Ng4+ leaves the king with two possibles squares: if now 41.-Ke3 Nd5+! gets the job done Other squares just let black confortably promote with a tempo. Very nice manage of the defense by Renato Naranja here, very instructive game.

Mar-29-12		galdur: <Describing himself as a better tactician than strategist, Renato recalls this white-knuckle ride with Milan Matulovic as his most memorable game.> http://www.kingpinchess.net/?p=2669

Oct-17-19		nalinw: I know where the pun comes from - and the translation - but I do not see the relevance. Very good game however .... more than makes up for the remote pun

Oct-17-19		Thief: <Very good game however .... more than makes up for the remote pun> No, it wasn't. That was a complete waste of time. I could've went and pickpocketed someone instead of going through this eye-stretching game.

Oct-17-19		ajile: 32.Rh8+ simply wins easily for White.

Oct-17-19		piltdown man: Any game that Matulovic loses is a good one. What a creep!

Oct-17-19		HeMateMe: "Real horror show, my droogies!"

Oct-17-19		perfidious: Ochen horosho! Matulovic is despatched via a bit of the old ultraviolence on killtown road.

Oct-17-19		cunctatorg: I don't like Jadoubovic though his chess was quite often of extraordinary quality... I vote for Philippines' IM Renato Naranja, a decent and worthy predecessor of Philippines' decent, brave and strong GM Eugenio Torre! Btw GM Torre was more successful GM than Jadoubovic himself...

Oct-17-19		Thief: <piltdown man: Any game that Matulovic loses is a good one. What a creep!> What did he do?

Oct-17-19		goodevans: What a cracking game! I can easily believe that the winner described "this white-knuckle ride with Milan Matulovic as his most memorable game." <Mar-29-12 galdur> Unsurprising that such a complex game should include a few mistakes from both sides. There was, however, one such mistake by the winner that really stands out. Contrary to <ArturoRivera>'s 2005 post, <31...Qxa1> was a serious error that, luckily for black, went unpunished. click for larger view It seems both sides missed a relatively straightforward (in that all black's moves are forced) win for white: <32.Rh8+ Nxh8 33.Qh7+ Kf8 34.Qxh8+ Ke7 35.Qf6+ Kd7 36.Rxa1>.
