  offramp: White plays the opening in more than eccentric fashion.

Black is incensed and unleashes a colossal attack that is like a hurricane. If 24. Bxh5 then 24...Nf2+ 25. Kg1 Nh3#

May-24-07  WarmasterKron: What an astounding game. A fairly quiet, quite strange opening phase passes and Rauzer whips out a vicious attack out of nowhere and rolls right over Riumin.
Oct-16-12  Abdel Irada: I wonder if White could have survived with 22. dxe4. So far, I see no decisive refutation, although White's position seems held together with duct tape and shoe polish.
Sep-18-15  ASchultz: 22. dxe4 Nxe4 23. fxe4 f3 as in the game...and if Qc4+ Bd5 and the bishop is toast.
Oct-16-18  arnakor: Fantastic!

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Shame that Rauzer left us so soon. Could have become the Nezhmetdinov before Nezhmetdinov.
Jun-18-20  Steve.Patzer: 18. Ncd1 really threw it away.
Jun-18-20  spektrowski: <An Englishman> Sadly, Rauzer suffered from a mental illness because of overworking himself (he once complained that he "couldn't make himself work on analysis for more than 16 hours a day!"). He was ultimately put into a mental institution and perished during the Siege of Leningrad. Riumin's career and life was also cut very short by illness (tuberculosis in his case).
Jun-18-20  Brenin: After yesterday's GOTD, this is lesson 2 in how not to play White against the French.
Jun-18-20  goodevans: Riumin tries to hide inside a carapace but Rauzer prises it open in spectacular fashion.

  Honza Cervenka: Eccentric opening play was not a problem here but passive play of white. 18...Nf4! simply blows up all white's setup. 18.Ncd1 looks like a successful solution of a helpmate problem but white position was already quite bad anyway. Finish is very pleasing but 26...Kxf8 would have been a bit more accurate.

  OhioChessFan: What a coincidence. I was just thinking 95% of the site's membership would have liked a pun regarding the celebrated Persian poet Rumi.
Jun-18-20  Diademas: The rest of us were holding our breath anticipating a clever pun on celebrated torturer and Deputy Head of the Soviet MGB (Ministry of State Security) Mikhail Dmitrievich Ryumin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikha...
Jun-18-20  Granny O Doul: After 6. f3, I think we may say that White has lost the opening battle.
