 | | chessgames.com: We selected this for our website's 7th birthday because there is a little bit of history behind this game. When Chessgames was only a few weeks old, chessgames founder Alberto Artidiello was visiting his good friend Ben (Behrouz) to a show him the website. At Ben's house, they decided to play a casual game, and Albert was able to achieve victory with a few crushing strokes. Albert is too humble to nominate his own games for Game of the Day, so the rest of the staff decided to surprise him with this dusty old gem we found in the database. Warm regards,
Chessgames Staff |

| Dec-10-08 | | patzer of patzers: I only found cg a few months ago, but I have become quite attached to it, and can't let this day pass without saying Happy Birthday (or Anniversary?)! I don't understand this game yet, but I'm sure I will appreciate it when (with cg's help, it will definitely be a "when" and NOT an "if") I get better at chess. A lot, lot better...but who cares? 祝你生日快乐! Being Chinese American, I am shamed that I got that from the internet (but I knew 生日 was birthday!) |

| Dec-10-08 | | withingrace: great game, with a good mate.
if pawn takes.
28. gxh5 29. Qg5+ (1) Kh8 30. Qxh6+ Kg8 31. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# or (2) 29... Kf8 30. Qxh6+ Kg8 31. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# 1. if pawn doesn't take h5, Kh7.
28... Kh7 29. Nf6 (1) Kh8 30. Qxh6# or (2) 29... Kg7 30. Nxd7 (white advantage) 2. if pawns doesn't take h5, Kg6
28... Kg8 29. Qxh6 (1) gxh5 30. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# or (2) 29... f5 30. Nf6+ Kf7 31. Nxd7 (avatage white. 31... Rxd7 32. Rxf5 leads to some interesting possibilities) 3. and finally, if pawns doesn't take h5, Kf8
28... Kf8 29. Qxh6+ Kg8 30. Qg7#
happy birthday and my warmest regards chess games |

| Dec-10-08 | | DoubleCheck: 28. Nh5+!!
What an awesome move
If the black king goes on any light sqaures then Nf6+ forks to win queen If the black king moves on dark square then Qxh6+ becomes possible with mate next move More importantly if black takes the knight with gxh5? then its mate in four with 28. Nxh5+!! gxh5?
29. Qg5+! Kh8(Kf8)
30. Qxh6+ Kg8
31. Qh7+ Kf8
32. Qh8+ mate
I believe blacks 19...Qd7 was the sealed move as it achieves nothing If black played passively
19...a6 he might of stood a better chance
19...a6!?
20. Ng3 b5
21. b4 a5!
22. Qd2 axb4
23. axb4 Ra7 (aiming for ...Ra4)
24. Bc2 Rea8
and now the position has black controlling a-file
