Apr-26-16  Peter Nemenyi: This game doesn't seem to have attracted much attention. But the versatility with which Black's queen and rook torment the White king in the presence of three White pieces, from the knight sac on move 36 to the finale on move 64, is delightful.

One feels for White, who had to find almost thirty defensive moves in an unpleasant position for no reward.

Apr-26-16  morfishine: <Peter Nemenyi> Nice find, this is a very unique example. One almost feels that White felt secure for quite awhile, but it slowly slipped away

  tamar: Nazi could have settled it earlier with 25...Nd3

She saw the move, but feared the continuation 26 Bxd5+ taking a whole piece with check would put her constantly in jeopardy of mate along the h file.

Looks dire at first, but Black's King is safe while White's King gets hunted down

25...Nd3 26 Bxd5+ Kh7 27 Qf1 ( 27 g6+ Kh6) Nxf2+ 28 Kg2 f4 29 Kg1 Rxa5 and White has no defense.
