Jan-16-12		ferri1234: what happens if 25 ....Kf8??

Jan-16-12		Phony Benoni: <ferri1234> After <25...Kf8>: click for larger view My guess would be 26.dxe6, when Black can hardly expect to survive the pressure on f7.

Jan-16-12		cydmd: <ferri1234>, White simply puts more pressure with 26.dxe6 And there's no defense against 27.Rxf7+. If 26... Rg8 then 27.Rxf7+ Nxf7 28.Rxf7+ Ke8 (28... Qxf7 29.Qxf7#) 29.Qxg8#

Jan-16-12		RestlessLife: fantastic play by white.

Jan-16-12		Gilmoy: <Anatoly21: 18.Rf6!! (Two pieces down and moving the rook? Amazing move!)> White did net a pawn, so it's a 5-point "sac" offer, similar to a Rf6 to deflect g7 (or Bg7) outright. The structural pattern is to blockade f7: it (a) cuts the board in half; (b) prevents f5 defending h7. Tal vs Leonov, 1949 (a,b) Fischer vs Benko, 1963 (b) Anand vs Bareev, 1993 (a) Rare but known: White is "only" in the Tal/Fischer/Anand class :)

Jan-16-12		Galaxy7: A remarkable game ! GM Jun doesn't care about anything else other than slashing his opponent's throat ... merciless assassin this Chinese GM !

Jan-16-12		cludi: My analysis of this great game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4pe...

Jan-16-12		rudiment: 16. Bxd6 ... 17. e5 was a splendid attack. Not sure about all the superlatives being bandied around about this game but it is compelling to watch the perfect exercise of control from Bxd6 onwards.

Jan-16-12		drpoundsign: I LIKE the bishop and queen sacs. Good mating net. No mathematical endgames (which give me a headache)

Jan-16-12		erniecohen: Actually, I think Black was fine until 15...♘h5. After 15...e5, he seems to be relatively safe.

Jan-16-12		Shams: <erniecohen> 15...e5 16.dxe5 and what's your idea, out of curiosity?

Jan-17-12		shivasuri4: <Shams>,that should be followed with 16...dxe5.17.Bxe5 is not good because of 17..Ng4 exploiting the e3 weakness.

Jan-17-12		Shams: <shivasuri4> Thanks, it's obvious now that White should not take on e5 even once.

Jan-17-12		rilkefan: Interestingly, stockfish likes 16.Nf4 (+1.6) at a depth of 24 (1 Gnode), though given the shifting evaluation at less depth I should let it think a lot longer. I then played 16.Bxd6 and let it run 1 Gnode (a depth of 27) and it thinks black is better by -0.7. It's planning on 18.Nf4. I then played up to 18.Ng3. Here it's looking at a perpetual or a slight edge for white after 19.hxg3 f5 (1 Gnode, depth 27). After I played 19.Rf6 it soon (depth of 22) decided white had a sizable advantage (+1) - at 1.5 Gnode (depth 27) it thinks black should play 19...Bxc4 and exchange the white LSB, eval still fluctuating from 1 to 1.7. At 1.5 Gnode, a depth of 26 (as shown above, not enough at all in this game), it thinks 15...e5 is even, with a main line of 16.Be1 Nh5 17.Ng3 Nf4 18.Nf5 or 16.Nc1 Bxc4 17.de de 18.Qf3 Nd7 or 16.Rf5... After 16.de de 17.Bxe5 it seems to think ...Ng4 is even. Conclusion: this is a game needing more calculation time than I have patience for or human input above patzer level.

Jan-17-12		kevin86: The attack is SO strong,that even the queen is expendable.

Jan-30-12		Eduardo Bermudez: The moves 16, 19, and 25 are astonishing !!

Apr-25-12		Eduardo Bermudez: The moves 16, 19, and 25 are astonishing !!

May-08-13		Mudphudder: What about this continuation? 24.Qh7+ Kf8 25.Be4 Qc7 26.BxR Would this have worked as well?

May-08-13		Nerwal: <What about this continuation? 24.Qh7+ Kf8 25.Be4 Qc7 26.BxR Would this have worked as well?> This also wins quite easily. But 24. d5 is stronger. White goes for the throat and black cannot defend his king.

Feb-28-14		DcGentle: <The sacrifice <16. Bxd6!!>> click for larger view White to move played <16. Bxd6!!>. White's 16th move actually is not easily detected by any current engine. I would be surprised, if any of them found this sac because of the ensuing <19. Rf6!>, a positional move, which is starting checkmating actually. Recently I looked at the following analysis again, which I did some years ago, showing that the sac really deserves 2 exclamation marks, because very beautiful mate lines can be found, all of which are much shorter than any engine suggestion. So objectively seen, <16. Bxd6!!> is the best move. Checkmate should follow around move 50. I can claim this, because the following lines are only the tip of the iceberg of my analysis, which lasted several weeks and comprises more than 500 lines. But I was curious to find the truth about the quality of this sac.

Feb-22-17		fisayo123: Wow some x-rated stuff here.

Oct-11-20		Messiah: Now this game is the real sհit! Excellent attack!

Dec-20-21		syracrophy: Already 10 years of this masterpiece, one of the top of the last decade!

Mar-27-23		Velmirovic: 15... Ne8 had to be tried, but White will just go 16. h4. Certainly after 19. Rf6 there is no adequate defense, besides surrendering untold amounts of material.
