 | | PawnSac: < Saniyat24: Wow what a brilliant ending...! > indeed! 37. Qxd4 Nh3# What a lovely finish.
< YouRang: This game did leave me hugely impressed by Sutovsky. To see the subtleties of the later positions (e.g. 36...Nf4!) amid all the other complications is astonishing. > No doubt! This is the stuff he is known for. A brilliant tactician! Love his games. |

 | | fiercebadger: After 33Qb8 option I would stop analysing but then ..3ng3+ must have been seen way before ! |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Olsonist: A pin is a terrible thing to waste. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Walter Glattke: Black threatens 37.Qd5 Nh3#, therefore 37.h4 Ne2+ 38.Kh2 if now 38.-Bxe2 39.Bd6!
g1Q+ 40.Rxg1 Bxg1+ 41.Kh3 threatens c5 black advantage. Or 39.-Be4 40.Ra1 Bg3+ 41.Kh3 Bf5+? 42.Kxg2! EZ?, no! |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Walter Glattke: Correction: 37.Qxd4 Nh3# |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | stacase: 36...Nf4 Threatens 37...h3# or at least 37...h3 forking White's King and Queen. Nothing artistic to follow but awfulness and badness, so White tips his King. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | saturn2: Did not see a straightforward win after
37. h4 Nh3+ 38. Kh2 Nxf2 39. Be7 |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | agb2002: Black has three pawns for the queen and a rook. White threatens Qxd4 and Bd6.
Black's only move is 36... Nf4 37.h4 (37.Qxd4 Nh3#) 37... Ne2+ 38.Kh2 Bxf2 39.Bd6 g1=Q+ 40.Rxg1 Bxg1+ 41.Kh3 (the alternative 37.h3 would not have allowed this move and White would have lost the queen's bishop to avoid mate) 41... f5 - + [2p]. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | saturn2: <37. h4 Nh3+> even loses. So it has to be 37...Ne2+ |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Cute one. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Diademas: After 37.h4 Ne2+ 38.Kh2 Bxf2 39.Bd6 g1=Q+ 40.Rxg1 Nxg1+ Black is up two pawns. Probably enough to win, but not easy for a Tuesday. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: 5 seconds. The only solution would be attacking the king and Queen with the Knight. Anything else loses because white is so far ahead in material. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | zb2cr: 36. ... Nf4 was easy. Finding the followup if White played 37. h4 was not. |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | lost in space: 36...Nf4 follwed by 37...Nh3# |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | PJs Studio: I like how after 36.Qf2 it is mate in two OR white loses a queen and a rook for a pawn. Lovely |
|
| Apr-30-19 | | Brettwith2ts: How strange. I was just looking at this game over the weekend, so Nf4 - Nh3# was fresh on my mind. Much more tricky, but still ultimately winning for Black, is:37. h4. Now, instead of 37. ...Nh3+?, Black must play 37. ...Ne2+ and 38. ...Bxf2, when the Knight and the Bishop will both support queening the g-pawn. After queening, white captures the new Queen Rxg1, and Black can safely recapture Bxg1, when all of his pieces are safe from the White King. Then we are left with 3 minor pieces and 2 pawns vs. 3 minor pieces vs. 4 pawns - a win, of course, but requiring some technique. 37. h4, Ne2+
38. Kh2, Bxf2
39. Bishop on f8 to a safe square, g1=Q+
40. Rxg1, Bxg1+
41. Kh3 and there's no checkmate but Black should win with good play. ...
Checking again with an engine, it looks like Nh3+ after h4 also leads to a win, but the Ne2+ line clarifies things a lot more quickly. I wonder if Gormally missed the idea of h4, or if he saw it and thought it was a hopeless endgame? A masterpiece of calculation either way. |
