| Apr-17-11 | | Corndog2: Without a doubt, this is the best game ever played with the KID (there are others, but this one is spectacular). I play risky openings like this, such as the Najdorf, semi slav (can be), and sometimes the KID. All are risky, but if one can land an attack like this, you would be respected for the rest of your chess career!!! |

click for larger viewDavid Bronstein: "What a picture! The queen's wing is by now completely deserted, while seven pieces assail the white king; now the square g2 is attacked four times, and there is obviously nothing left to defend it with: on 34.gh there follows mate in three moves, and 34...R:f3 is threatened too." |

The game is a model seminal game for the d5 pawn chain which I have done a video previously here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PORH... |

| Dec-13-11 | | King Death: This was the game that caused White players of this variation to give up on 10.Be3. The line only really became popular again at the international level after this game: Korchnoi vs K Hulak, 1987. |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | morfishine: It was this game that caused me to favor the KID for quite awhile. For Nimzo or slav players, the KID is a valuable alternative, as long as one can confidently transpose between pirc and modern move-orders ***** |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | Masterful Artisan: A chess game that works on two levels. Firstly as a purely pragmatic exercise in forced calculation, the frenzied bloodlust of a tactical melee, hand-to-hand, mano-e-mano, a world of tooth against nail and fist against foot, thrust and counterthrust. This could be described as the ‘simple descriptive’ description. I personally prefer the justice of a closer interpretative reading for this classic chess construction. For example, at the penultimate nadir of the sacrificial onslaught the H-file forms the impression of a Native American totem pole. The present characters in order of hierarchy are King, Bishop, Bishop, Knight, Knight. Surely this striking arrangement and the verticality of the image itself assists us in pausing to take note of traditional kinship structures, the diversity of patrilineal/matrilineal/extended systems of marriage residence, and the intricate interplay between the social and familial identities within Native American First Peoples societies. |

| Apr-26-14 | | cunctatorg: KID fans should cautiously study however the two Korchnoi's KID (as white) games mentioned above... His game vs. Xie Jun is a work of art and logic too!! |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | cunctatorg: Korchnoi's 13. Nb5 novelty in his game against Hulak isn't a surprise until you see its idea, the defensive (!!) manoeuvre Nc3-b5-a7 targeting Black's superweapon in this variation, namely Black's Bc8 ... after the "natural" reply 13... a6; however Black must somehow free his Queen who should operate against White's King without stop supporting his queen-side too much... Korchnoi's game against Xie Jun demonstrates that White has more weapons in his arsenal!... My point is that Gligoric's and Najdorf's creations are real gems and support Black's case in this famous Mar der Plata variation, however "Theory" goes beyond GOTD and gems!! |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | mrknightly: Another pun might have been, "Taking time off." |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | cunctatorg: Last but not least, there is a great victory for White in a Polugaevsky-Tal (!!) 1980 game that took place during their Candidates match... |

| | Fusilli: One of my favorite games ever. It was high time for it to be game of the day. |
|
| Apr-26-14 | | kevin86: Burgess Meredith was looking for a great role...and he finally got his chance when he played the loser in this game. His exclamation was: Taimanov at last! |
