28. g6! was an inspired Queen sacrifice (28 ... Rxh6 29. Bxh6), although it helped that White was four Pawns up already which evened things out. For the record, Fritz 10 did not give that move any punctuation. Note White spurned the three-fold repetition as 28. Qg7 would have been drawn on the spot. Then 30. c5! Rxc5 31. Bf8 was a clever sequence, exploiting the pin on the Bd6 (31 ... Nxg6 32. Bxd6) as otherwise the g Pawn Queens. Thus this contest became a highly unusual RRBB vs QRN situation but the outcome was never really in doubt, especially after White captured Black's last Pawn with 47. Rxe6. For these longish games, we presume the gamescore is correct but that may not always be the case; 67. Kb2 Qe6 looks very suspicious. With that in mind, Fritz 10 suggested some shorter wins: 1) 44. Ra5+ Kb7 45. Rg1 Nh5 
2) 45. Rh1 Qxf2 46. Rc5 Kb7 47. Rh7+ Kb8 48. Rb5+ Ka8 3) 55. a5 Qd3 56. Rcf2
4) 56. R7f6 Qd1
5) 68. Rd6+! Qxd6 69. c5+ Qxc5 70. bxc5+ Kc6 71. Bb3 The fifth one was pointed out by <scholes> featuring two consecutive royal forks:

| Sep-20-18 | | Saniyat24: What a beautiful position for Jan-Krzystof, when he plays 49.Bd5+...! |
|
| Jul-16-19 | | BxChess: Duda saw part Q trap was a dud |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | stacase: I got the first two moves. As always, how many of the following 49 moves are you supposed to get to claim, "I got it!" Well anyway, I'm happy to get the first two on a Saturday (-: |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Finding the first two moves isn't hard, but the engine isn't too impressed with White's advantage at that point. (+1.35) |

| Nov-30-19 | | Walter Glattke: 29.-Rc8 30.cxb5 Nxg6 31.Rd3 Qxb5 32.Rxd6 Qxe2 (Nf4 e3!) 33.Bc2 (Rxe6 Qxe4+ and Qh1) Nf4 34.Bxf4 exf4 35.Rxe6 Rf8 36.Bd1 Qg2 -+ |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Well, White already has four extra pawns, so we end up with the odd equivalency of R & 4 vs. Q. Couldn't see the entire 50 move variation, but probably saw enough. |

 | | patzer2: In an actual game, I would probably have played 28. Qg7 = and settled for the draw by repetition after 28...Rhg8 29. Qh7 Rgh8 30. Qg7 etc. However, with (28. ?) being a difficult Saturday puzzle, I figured it must involve a promising Queen sacrifice. The best I could find was 28. c5!? which is a second best move that gives White an advantage after 28. c5!? Rxh6 29. cxd6! ⩲ to ± (+0.66 @ 32 ply, Stockfish 10). Stronger of course is the game move and puzzle solution 28. g6! Rxh6 29. Bxh6 +- (+1.65 @ 34 ply, Stockfish 10). |

| Nov-30-19 | | TeaChess: Is 67 Kb2 a mistake? Black can take c4 pawn. |

 | | agb2002: White has the bishop pair and four pawns for a bishop and a knight. Black threatens Rxh6.
The obvious 28.Qg7 leads 28... Rhg8 29.Qh7(6) Rh8 30.Qg7, repeating moves. The alternative 28.g6 Rxh6 29.Bxh6, with the double threat Bxc8 and c5, looks good. For example, 29... Rh8 30.Ag7 bxc4 31.Bxh8 Nxg6 32.Ba4 Qxa4 33.Rxd6 Nxh8 34.Rd8+ Kb7 35.Rxh8 and the h-pawn will run. Or 29... Rc8 30.c5 Rxc5 31.Bf8 Rc6 32.g7 and Black looks lost with the queen tied down to the defense of d6 and e6 and the threats f4, Rd2-Rhd1, h4-h5, etc. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Surely 67...Qxc4 was called for. |
|
Nov-30-19
| | OhioChessFan: Okay, <erad> pointed out the same thing 3 years ago. |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | schachfuchs: yes, 67...Qxc4 would have been =0.00 (47 ply)
e.g. 68.Rc3 Qf7 69.Rc5 Qf6+ 70.e5 Qf4 71.Ka3 Qc1+ 72.Kb3 Qd2 73.Bf5 Qd1+ 74.Kc3 Qa1+ 75.Kb3 Qd1+ |

| Nov-30-19 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess that White was tired when complementing the game after the 51th move. The easiest plan is to exchange the ♖ and win the final promoting the a5-8 ♙. See diagram. Therefore, instead of loosing time with 52.♖f7 I would play 52.♖a7 which would force this exchange. If black tries some desesperate sacrifice with 52... ♖xd5
53. exd5 ♕d3+ 54. ♖c2 ♕xd5 55. ♔b2 and White can either threat mate placing the last ♖ in h2 or g2, while the other in some place in the 7th rank, which make the black ♕ slave, while the "a" ♙ goes to promotion or checkmate. For example: 55... ♔b8 56. ♖h7 ♕f5 57. ♖ch2 ♕e6 58. a5 ♔a8 59. ♖g2 ♔b8 60. a6 ♕d5 61. ♖f2 ♕d6 62. ♖b7+ ♔c8 63. b5 ♕c5 64. ♖e2 ♕h5 65. ♖ee7 ♕h2+ 66. ♔b3 ♕h5 67. ♖bc7+ ♔b8 68. a7+ ♔a8 69. ♖c8#.
If Black tried to keep the ♖, with 52...♖d6, the White could continue with: 53. a5 ♕d3+ 54. ♔b2 ♕e2+ 55. ♖c2 ♕d1 56. ♖g2 ♖d8 57. ♖a8+ ♔c7 58. ♖g7+ ♖d7 59. ♖a7+ ♔b8 60. ♖axd7 ♕d2+ 61. ♔b3 ♕d1+ 62. ♔c4 ♕e2+ 63. ♔c5 ♕f2+ 64. ♔b5 ♕f8 65. ♖b7+ ♔c8 66. ♗e6+ ♔d8 67. ♖b8#. Therefore, Black will have to accept the exchange...
52...♕d3+ 53. ♔b2 ♕d2+ 54. ♖c2 ♕d1 55. ♖a8+ ♔c7 56. ♖xd8
♔xd8 57. ♗c6 ♕d6 58. b5 ♔c7 59. a5 ♕c5 60. ♔b3 ♕e5 61. ♖d2 ♕e6+
62. ♖d5 ♔c8 63. a6 ♔b8 64. b6 ♕f7 65. a7+ ♕xa7 66. ♖d8#
If 65... ♔c8 66.a8=♖#. Much more simple. Maybe DUDA is not so trained in the end-of-games. Diagram:

| Nov-30-19 | | RandomVisitor: The computer likes the trap-like 20.Qxf7!? because it can see ahead to the positional queen sacrifice, which favors white. At move 22 it see this far:

 | | thegoodanarchist: This game reinforces the old adage "A man with two Zs in his name is always a strong chess player" Here the man with 2 Zs in his second name outplayed the man with 2 Zs in his first name. "ZZ Tops" |

A: With Brazilian jiu-jitsu, of course! |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | brainzugzwang: I'm very confused at Move 67, kind of in line with the <tpstar> post above from 2 1/2 years ago. Why Kb2 for White, and even more, why doesn't Black reply Qxc4? Stockfish rates that position dead even, 0.00. |

| Nov-30-19 | | petemccabe: Camptown ladies sing this song, Duda, Duda. |

| Nov-30-19 | | RandomVisitor: "Duda queen sacrifice thing" |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | BxChess: I'm glad I'm not the only one who was puzzled by 67 Kb2 and the non-reply 67...Qxc4. In any case a good game by Duda. Lets make a toast. Duda: Not a dud! |
|
| Nov-30-19 | | RandomVisitor: Move number 67 does not make sense for either player. I suggest what was played: 66...Qf<4> 67.Kb2 Qe<5> 68.Rc3 Qf6 and we are back in line with the game. This playable move sequence does not allow the pawn grab 67...Qxc4 or the easy win for white 68.Rd6+. There are only two changes made to the score. What do you think? |
