The house SF sees it at higher ply |

|
| Feb-26-23 | | cehertan: Some nasty combo there. Makes sense that it was prepared and black had no chance from early on. |
|
| Apr-30-23 | | Honey Blend: Some...interesting pun there. This site is safe for kids no? Or am I just reading too much into the innuendo? |
|
| Apr-30-23 | | Atking: Memorable game. Smoothly logical even the apparently brutal 18&19 moves. Reminds me Max Euwe in his best days. |

 | | perfidious: Giri's fourteenth move is so unnatural-looking that it makes sense for much--if not all--this to be prep, but if that is not so, it a remarkable idea. |

| Aug-14-23 | | Mayankk: Whats the fastest win after 20 ... Qf7 ?
21 Rh6+ gxh6 22 Bxf7 Rf8 doesn't seem worse than the game continuation. And if 21 Nxg5, 21 ... Qh5 seems to temporarily hold fort. |

 | | beatgiant: <Mayankk> On 20...Qf7 21. Nxg5 Qh5, <22. Rh6+> should be fast enough for you. |

| Nov-10-24 | | mel gibson: I didn't see that one - not having a good week -
but there is only a tiny advantage in this game.. Stockfish 17 says:
18. Neg5
(18. Neg5 (1.Neg5 hxg5 2.Rxe6 fxe6 3.Rxe6 Qxe6 4.Bxe6 Bxf3 5.Qf5 Be4 6.Qxe4 Re8 7.h4 Nd7

) +2.21/61 288)
score for White +2.21 depth 61. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Solved this one so quickly, it seems certain that I've seen this one before. No credit for me, but only two flubs this week, quite satisfactory. The struggle over the g5 square became fascinating; both sides gave up a lot of material fighting over it. |

| Nov-10-24 | | whiteshark: Anish commented afterwards:
"It’s a great feeling to win this way, and I’m also proud to show some preparation, even though now in rapid and blitz it’s less of a thing, but I’m always happy to get preparation, especially when it works out, it looks pretty nice and I think it was a very nice idea. I was very happy with this Rc2 idea, it’s a very cunning one and it’s really not on the surface, and I was really happy not only to show it but that it led to a nice victory." ibid |
|
| Nov-10-24 | | whiteshark: Anish himself pointed out that the attack was “very thematic”. "Tal has copyrighted all sacrifices, so as long as you sacrifice something you feel like Tal, but again, in my defence, I prepared these things, and I followed up with the sacrifices that are very thematic in this position, so it’s not like it’s a stroke of genius or anything. The whole position is about Neg5, Rxe6, because he has the bishop pair, he has a better pawn structure, and I’m up in development and have some attacking prospects, so the position demands this kind of play and I was prepared for it. Neg5 I didn’t prepare, because Kh8 is very bad, but maybe just before Kh8 I had this position prepared as well, and then it’s clear Kh8 is screaming for some sort of punishment." ibid |

 | | al wazir: I think 21...Nd7 gives black some play.
If 22. Qg6 Nf6 23. Nxg5, then 23...Be8. |
|
| Nov-10-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Observing the "insane" title, the king comes with something like it: 18. Neg5 hxg5 19. Bxe6 fxe6 20. Rxe6 Qf7 21. Nxg5 Qh5 22. Rh6+ Qxh6 23. Nf7+ Kg8 24. Nxh6+ gxh6 25. Qg6+ Kf8 26. Qf6+ Kg8 27. Re7 Bxd4 28. Qf7+ Kh8 29. Qh7#. The analysis are for you, guys. |
|
| Nov-10-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: IMHO B could try to survive defending the thematic attack point by: 17...Bd5 18. Neg5 hxg5 19. Rxe6 fxe6 20. Qg6 Qf6. This sort of attack will require more preparation. |

| | Teyss: I remember that game, I submitted this, hem, intellectual pun (well, the puzzle's first move <is> on the g file). Beautiful double sac and subtle play by Giri, keeping the tension and threats alive while controlling the first rank. And at Wijk aan Zee Masters no less, which he eventually won. |
|
| Nov-10-24 | | BxChess: <Teyss:> A great multilevel pun. GG could refer to the surnames of the players, or to the horseplay (on the g-file no less) in the puzzle positon. Spot on! |
|

| | Teyss: Hi BxChess,
"Horseplay", very good. TBH didn't think about that one for the pun. |
