Jun-12-07 | | notyetagm: What a great combination by Larsen:
32.Rg8+!! Kxg8 33.Qd8+ Kg7 34.h6+ Kxh6 35.Ng4+ Kh5 36.Nxf6+ Kh6 37.Ng4+ 1-0 32 ♖d8-g8+!! is a tremendous <DECOY FOR TEMPO>. The end is 37 ♘g4+ and then
37 ... ♔h6-h5 38 ♕d8-h4#
37 ... ♔h6-g7 38 ♕d8-f6+ ♔g7-g8 39 ♘g4-h6#
It is simply gorgeous how 36 ♘g4xf6+ captures the Black f6-pawn, opening the d8-h4 diagonal for the White d8-queen to give mate on h4 in the first mating variation giving above. |

Aug-17-17 | | tonsillolith: Could anyone enlighten me on White's response to <25...Qxc3>? Not only does it win the pawn holding up White's queenside, but it also threatens check and the d4 rook. |
|
Aug-17-17 | | tonsillolith: Oh, wait, I got it. It revolves around the pressure White gets on f7 after Qxa7. |

Feb-23-18 | | kenmacgillivray: If black on move 32 does not capture the rook but plays 32 ... Kh6 the best I can find for white is a perpetual with
33 Ng4+ Kxh5 34 Nxf6+ Kh6 35 Ng4+ etc. |

Feb-24-18 | | nummerzwei: So what about 35...Kh5 36.Ne5+ Kh6 37.Qg4 Ra1+ 38.Kh2? |

Feb-25-20 | | SuperPatzer77: < nummerzwei: So what about 35...Kh5 36.Ne5+ Kh6 37.Qg4 Ra1+ 38.Kh2?> OK, let me show you the line below:
