| Jul-19-20 | | kaimann: "after Kasparov and So shook hands ... Kasparov went away from the scene .... felt aghast." |

 | | AylerKupp: <<Fiona Macleod> This is the game which elevated chess blitz victories as the highest form of intellectual achievement before they became garbage as they are now.> How did blitz games go from the highest form of intellectual achievement (2016) to garbage (2017) in one short year? |
|

| | AylerKupp: <<thegoodanarchist> So "nothing more" is not really accurate.> It still doesn't alter the fact that it was only a blitz game vs. a retired chess player in his 50's |

 | | HeMateMe: hey, Wesley finally beat a world champion! |
|
Jul-20-20
| | AylerKupp: <HeMateMe> Given that he beat Carlsen in W So vs Carlsen, 2018, I would say that So is quite capable of beating a world champion at Classic game controls. And he's beaten him at least 6 times at faster time controls. |

| | HeMateMe: that would bring him up to 6-25 against MC? |

He lost on the e7 square. |

He he he I'm late but thanks. |
|
| Jan-17-21 | | tonsillolith: This is the pinnacle of chess, and one of the greatest games ever played. It just proves that even though Carlsen has the title and a large plus score against So, Wesley will always be the better player. |

 | | FSR: <Sally Simpson: . . . I only have four left to get and I've done every one in the book: '100 Opening Chess Traps to Play Before You Die.'> Uh oh. I'm surprised you're still will us almost five years later. Better hold off on getting at least one of them. |

| | FSR: Over five years later, and what Kavalek called the "Immortal Chess Blitz Game," https://www.huffpost.com/entry/immo... still hasn't been GOTD. But at least we've gotten <A Pin, But Not a Safety Pin> a million times. |

| Oct-12-22 | | nalinw: Hope you are happy FSR ..... Kasparov poked the bear and got what he deserved ... great game |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: The Rossolimo Variation (4...Bg4) doesn't seem to fare too badly in the database--oddly, the super-quiet 5.Be2 constitutes the only reply that causes serious trouble. |
|
| Oct-12-22 | | Amarande: I must be missing something.
I'm only seeing 25 ... Qxe7 26 Qxc8+ Kf7 27 Qxc6, and while that's definitely resignable for Black (seeing that he is a piece down, on top of which Rd7 is threatened and it doesn't seem avoidable without having to exchange queens, e.g. 27 ... Kg8 28 Qe8+), I'm getting the feeling like there's supposed to be something more flashy here to be called an "Immortal." Or is that really all there is? |
|

| | FSR: About time this was made GOTD. All kinds of dross was made GOTD before this was. |
|
| Oct-12-22 | | Brenin: <Amaranda>: I don't think you're missing anything. After 25 ... Qxe7 26 Qxc8+ Kf7 27 Qxc6, all more or less forced, Black has to play 27 ... Rd8 to prievet the lethal 28 Rd7, and then 28 Rxd8 Qxd8 gives White the choice o forcing an exchange Qs with 29 Qd5+ or piking up the b-pawn with 29 Qc4+. Either way Black has no compensation for the oiece, and can resign. |

 | | offramp: Hey, <Gambit86>! Didn't you get the memo? There is a total embargo on clichéd use of "immortal". |
|
| Oct-12-22 | | sfm: <There is a total embargo on clichéd use of "immortal".>
Long added to the list.
Like puns in the family of "So fine" or "Miles to go" which literally can sink me into depression, before paying a fortune to a shrink get me out of suicidal thoughts.However, hopeful rewrites - like e.g. "Immorphytal" - could possibly be allowed, if used with care. But pun writers seem to prefer the well-established basics, and do not read embargo lists.
So, if I am one day no longer posting you will know why... |
