  An Englishman: Good Evening: Dunno--seems like a good enough combination to qualify as an Immortal, but what do the rest of the carbon-based life forms think?

Sep-25-24  newzild: <An Englishman> Good evening - a cool combo for sure, but after 25. Nxe4 methinks the remaining moves are a bit easy to see to qualify as an immortal.
Sep-25-24  goodevans: White’s opening play was admirable whilst Black’s 15…f5 and 17…e4 were borderline reckless.

The Nxe4 sac was indeed very nice and could in fact have been played a couple of moves earlier with equally devastating effect.

  perfidious: Black's opening play was also not above reproach, as his seventh move was a strategic error; a7-a5 needed to be played so as not to allow the cramping a5, in similar fashion to the far better known Benko vs Fischer, 1962.

Black must also take care over allowing 1.dxe5 dxe5 2.Qd6 in these middlegames when he is unable to expel the intruder without making concessions, as here.

Indeed, 23.Nxe4! fxe4 24.Qxe4+ Kg7 25.Rd3 Be5 26.Bd4 Bxd4 27.Qxd4+ Nf6 28.Rg3+ was winning as well.
