| Aug-12-13 | | ajile: I saw 20.Nxf7 and 21.Rxe6 also figuring the basic idea was to sac and remove Black's defenses. But I didn't see what comes after that. |

| Aug-13-13 | | Once: <patzer2> Thanks for the brilliant Mark Twain quote. He did have such a remarkable way to pack a lot of wisdom into a pithy sentence or two. |

| Sep-27-14 | | MarkFinan: This is quite brilliant! To see the knight and rook sacs (or offers) from here

is really impressive for a 16 year old kid.
His chess speaks volumes which is more than the man himself. I like him and I hope he gets a shot against Carlsen, but I still think people are going OTT with Caruana since he won that tournament. But this is a brilliant little game with lots of tactics and I like his style of chess. ✌ |
|
| Nov-23-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: <MarkFinan> I agree with you. And I believe Caruana may be Carlsen's next challenger; with a possibility of even beating Carlsen squarely.# |

| May-16-15 | | Artemio: Carlsen versus Caruana in the near future....the two C's replacing the two K's.... |
|
| Oct-02-15 | | The Kings Domain: Scintillating play by Caruana. I like how the game picks up after a slow and steady start. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | ChessHigherCat: ChessHigherCat: I thought it was a Monday puzzle for some reason and I started looking for the easy win. Let's see, I must be overlooking something obvious... I saw the potential of Nxf7 but what a follow-up! <MarkFinan: His chess speaks volumes which is more than the man himself.

| Mar-11-18 | | diagonalley: wow! breathtaking... the continuation is just incredible ... how far ahead did fabiano calculate, i wonder |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | stacase: I saw that 20. Nxf7 snagged two Pawns for the Knight and gained some nice position. <diagonalley: wow! breathtaking... the continuation is just incredible ... how far ahead did fabiano calculate, i wonder> Further than I did, that's for sure. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | Once: I've been this way before ...
As before, I forgot that I'd seen the game and found the first two moves only. The BBITW is now seventeen. He's taller, hairier and smarter than me in almost every respect. Except chess, which he has never taken to. |

| Mar-11-18 | | jith1207: Truly insane!
Crazy I have never thought of this idea of letting the opponent back rank mate you without any defense, only to find that defensive piece by making a discover check without any danger! <how far ahead did fabiano calculate, i wonder> Anand has stated that Caruana is a brilliant calculator, figures why the original calculator has become an antique piece of scientific history nowadays. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | JimmyRockHound: Black was a pin cushion by move 26. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | raju17: what of 28. ... qd1+# |

| Mar-11-18 | | mel gibson: <jith1207: Truly insane! Crazy I have never thought of this idea of letting the opponent back rank mate you without any defense, only to find that defensive piece by making a discover check without any danger!> Yes - but it's normal to leave your King in such a position
where a back rank mate is possible.
I would call it high risk chess. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | mel gibson: I meant to say.
but it's NOT normal to leave your King in such a position where a back rank mate is possible. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | RKnight: <raju17> 28... Qd1+ is met with the simple 29 Re1+ (discovered) which wins the Q. |

|
| Mar-11-18 | | landshark: I went with 21. Qh5+
21... Kg8 22. Rxe6 looked plenty good.
21... Ke7 22. Qg6 and either the e pawn or g pawn falls with what looks like horrendous consequences for Black.
I'd be happy playing this OTB even if I ran into some hidden resource that foils it. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | catlover: Very enjoyable final combination by Caruana.
As far as the puzzle goes, I didn't get much beyond, "I wonder if 20 Nxf7 leads to something?" <Once>, your posts about your son's birthdays over the years are both humorous and poignant. Thanks! |

| Mar-11-18 | | agb2002: The material is identical.
Black threatens Nxe5 and Nc5.
The black castle looks weak and defenseless. This and the threat suggest 20.Nxf7. However, after 20... Bxg3 21.fxg3 Rf8 22.Nxh6+ gxh6 23.Qxh6 Nc5 Black seems to hold. Another option is 20.Ng4 but Black has 20... Nc5. I don't know. I'd probably play 20.Nxf7. |
|
| Mar-11-18 | | agb2002: The position rang a bell, in particular 21.Rxe6 after 20.Nxf7 Kxf7, but I couldn't remember the rest of the game. |

| Jun-03-18 | | Whitehat1963: Love the clever finish threatening a discovered check and queen capture to block the invitation to the back-rank mate mirage. |
