In all planinc you prioritise.

Jul-16-08  blacksburg: wow. this is kinda brutal. nice game.
Jul-16-08  arsen387: great game. I think that after 17..Nfxe4 Smejkal thought "he-he, you took the bait, now I'll win a piece", but Planinc saw further. In the end after Qf4+ white loses the R, so 38.Rxd6 was a blunder, but with so many pawns black must win anyway. P.S. nice pun
Jul-16-08  TheaN: An enormous tactical blow from move 17....Nfe4 on. Planinc probably did not see everything, but it was some nice planinc to undermine the White position.
Jul-16-08  wanabe2000: 32.Qxb2 doesn't work because of the back rank mate 32...Bxg2 33.Rxg2 Qe1+ 34.Kh2 Rh4#. This game had my attention!

  maxi: Remarkable game.
Jul-16-08  kevin86: Either on 39 ♔f2 or ♔h2,the rook goes after the fork at ♕f4+.

People have paid billions of dollars,etc to see boxing-to a lot of people,both a nice and very brutal activity.

Jul-16-08  WickedPawn: White just didn't have a single move to breath in relief. It's amazing how masters always find ways to keep the edge.

And thus, it is remarkable Black still can have edges in master games... no? :P

Jul-16-08  Flicflac: planinc at the disco anyone?
Jul-16-08  Gilmoy: 17..Nxe4 sends White's game into zwieschenhell ...
Apr-04-09  Hugh the Drover: Here's Planinc on another long combination, going a piece down but prevailing with Queen and pawns over two Rooks. His 24 ... Qg3 is a decisive incursion.
Apr-18-09  ForeverYoung: this game got spotlighted by Gligoric in the July '73 chess life & review. Gligo noted him as a player to be reckoned with.
