Jan-12-06 | | notsodeepthought: Thanks - it was a bit of a stretch perhaps, but anyhow ... and "couldn't get Savon up" was brilliant. |
|
Sep-05-06 | | hidude: h4 wins!! |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: When Grigorian played 1.h4 he had to be perfectly sure that his opponent is not going to appear on the the other side of board that day. |
|
Oct-19-06 | | Karpova: Savon was lazy like a Bone not showing up for the game |
|
Oct-25-06 | | rsl: That sure was an instructive game! I'm probably going to use that awesome 1. h4!! move in my next game. |
|
Dec-08-06 | | kellmano: Clearly the reason black resigned is that he could not find a satisfactory defence to Rh3. |
|
Mar-24-08 | | D.Observer: After all, what's shocking with this? |

Sep-01-08 | | Funicular: This would be a good sunday puzzle |
|
Sep-15-08 | | DoubleCheck: h4 is too passive for my liking although it does steer away from the 'standard' e4 / d4 games |
|
Sep-23-08 | | whiteshark: <Funicular> Like this?

Jan-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow, that'd be funny.
1. ?
answer: 1. h4!! I'm going to play that next time.
What if Black plays 1...d5? white couldn't play 2. Rh3 because of 2...Bxh3... but then Black loses after 3. gxh3 because it was giveaway chess! |

 | | blazerdoodle: Okay, I started reading the blog before I looked at the game. Now that I've analyzed it, I can understand it better. |

 | | Fusilli: <notsodeepthought: Apparently Savon showed up ten days later - he had not realized the game was scheduled according to the Grigorian calendar.> Almost five years after your post, I have to give you credit. This was really funny. |

 | | perfidious: Most impressive; in playing 1.h4 straight away, Grigorian won far more quickly than Nimzowitsch in the following game after 1.e4 e6 2.h4: Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927. |
|
Mar-18-12 | | Brecker: Reaction before resignation:
h4??
Reaction after resignation:
*Takes out notebook* aich four... |
|
Apr-17-12 | | siggemannen: So, what did actually happened? Since savon was back in the next round I guess? |
|
Aug-06-13 | | GumboGambit: Why not 1 . . Nf6? |
|
Apr-27-16 | | posoo: DATS RITE. Dis is how you INTIMMADATE your opponunt. NO ONE wants to play da dubbel rooks blast! Sometimes when da posoo plays it in parks da people get ANGRY and REFUSE to play! But dat is da point - get da sluggos ANGRY! As I have said many times before - CHESSE is for FUN and for SMASHING |
|
Feb-04-17 | | siggemannen: Noone knows the reason for this short game? |
|
Jan-09-21 | | Messiah: Terrible! |
|
Feb-25-22
 | | FSR: Poor Savon passed out at the sight of 1.h4. It proved impossible to revive him before he lost on time. |
|
Feb-25-22
 | | fredthebear: It should be obvious by now to conspiracy theorists. Karen Grigorian was from Russia; Moscow in fact. Vladimir Savon was from Ukraine (certainly not a free country during the Cold War). Savon was likely the better player of the two. This game was played in Moscow. Vladimir was afraid, very afraid. |
|
Feb-27-22
 | | GrahamClayton: Savon forfeited the game, so it seems that someone decided to create a game score with 1.h4 as a joke. Should this "game" be removed from the database? |
