| Dec-22-08 | | notyetagm: A *beautiful* attacking gem by Cheparinov, who has learned from the modern master of attack himself, Topalov. |
|
| Dec-22-08 | | Gilmoy: <18.Qb8? 20.Ba8? 22.Bf8?> and I thought, Black is very patient or very passive. What is his idea, "Come and get me", forcing White to do all the line-opening work? White does. Gee, Breyer Re8, White wins by a sac, three guesses which square it hit: Botvinnik vs Portisch, 1968
Kupreichik vs A Planinc, 1970
W Arencibia vs Granda-Zuniga, 1986 |

CHEPARINOV: Why, of course he lost. He just played the great Cheparinov! :-)

| Dec-22-08 | | vanytchouck: It's strange :
When i was following the game on chessok; as it was said that the white was winning, i figured out the moves 'till 29.Rd7 and 30.Red1 but i didn't see 31. Bc4 also targeting the weak f7 pawn.Beautiful finish. Nice for a puzzle. |

click for larger viewCheparinov's 33 ♕f3xf7+! is a great example of the <X-RAY> tactic, as the White d7-rook controls the f7-square *through* the Black e7-rook. 33 ... ♖e7x♕f7 34 ♖d7x♖f7+

| Jul-10-12 | | sevenseaman: Wot a tactical shot! I like it. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | xthred: On move 5 Black could have taken White's e4 pawn. Wonder why he didn't? |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | shaikriyaz: attacking the f7 square like that is the desire/fantasy/fetish of all the chess players. I hope I do it otb in my local chess club;-) |

| Jul-10-12 | | Once: <xthred> 5....Nxe4 is the open variation of the Ruy Lopez, aka the Spanish opening. It's perfectly sound and playable. According to opening explorer, black plays 5...Be7 most of the time - 15,085 games out of 21,113 - but both 5...Nxe4 and 5...b5 are respectable alternatives - 2,661 and 2,492 games respectively. The stats for 5...Nxe4 aren't bad for black. White wins 37.5% of games and black wins 24.1%, which is pretty typical. The point is that black can't keep his temporary extra pawn. At some point, white is going to play Re1 with an attack along the e file. The e5 pawn falls and we have a fairly open attacking game with chances for both sides. The open game is less blocked so leads to fewer draws - 38.4% on OE, compared with 43.5% for 5...Be7. |

 | | Check It Out: Black had to "Surrender" after Chep got the "Dream Police" rooks on the seventh, sure to put Alekseev into "The Flame". I know by now you want me to want you to want me to stop. |

| Jul-10-12 | | Shams: <Check It Out> Don't forget their cover of Elvis' "Don't Be Cruel" that was a smash hit for them. When it came on the radio, my dad said, "Whoever did this should be taken out and shot." |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | The Last Straw: At the end it's breaking a pawn and sacraficing the queen to deliver mate. Well, at least the"trick"works. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | The Last Straw: i mean sacrifice |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | The Last Straw: i am not the best pun grader |

| Jul-10-12 | | The Last Straw: I'll still not completely accept this pun |

| Jul-10-12 | | sambo: Why not 30...Rc7 instead? |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | orgol: If 30...Rc7
White play Bxe5 pinning the rook to the queen winning material after 31...Rexd7 32.Rxd7.If black take bishop on e5 by 31...Rxe5 then white answer with a forced mate in 2 moves with 32.Qxf7 32...Kh8 33. QH7# |
