 | | Travis Bickle: Wow what a war!! Chess doesn't get any better than these two great players going at it! |
 |
| Aug-15-12 | | urnebes: GM Gligoric died yesterday. May he rest in peace. A great chessplayer and an even better man. |

 | | brankat: This was the first game of the candidates match Tal-Gligoric. I had an incredible fortune and a privilege to be in the arena in Belgrade when the game was played. Of course I didn't realize nor understand it then, being only 17. But as years passed by the importance, indeed the magnitude of the event, did sink in. There was a great excitement in the playing hall, and a somewhat "un-chess-like" standing ovation when the game was completed.
Wild! |

| Aug-15-12 | | pedro123: I remember the late lamented Bob Wade demonstrating this game for us in my distant youth and being impressed by it. I used to subscribe to the American Chess Review which featured Gligoric's excellent analyses in Game of the Month. May he rest in peace. |

| Aug-15-12 | | jefballard: Were there only 32 pieces on the board when they started?
They traded off so much it seemed like more.
Two heavyweights standing toe to toe throwing haymakers. Wow. |
|
| Aug-15-12 | | Jacob Arnold: Tremendous game. Chessgames.com picked well for the game honoring him. R.I.P. Svetozar.... |
|
| Aug-15-12 | | The Last Straw: The correct game for GOTD. May Gligoric R.I.P. A great chessplayer. |

Against Tal-no less! |

| Aug-15-12 | | Prosperus: Can somebody give the basic strategy for further play in the endgame? It seems to me that after exchange on c1 (rook for pawn) e-pawn gives white some chances. |

Here is a study by Reti, 1928, that will help:

Kf3 5. Kd5 e3 6. Kd4 e2 7. Kd3
click for larger viewThe e-pawn is too slow in the Tal/Gligoric game. The WK has to move along with it for protection. This gives the BK a chance to catch up with the pawn and win it with the help of the BR. |

| Aug-15-12 | | Atking: Thanks to Chessgames.com. A great player has gone. Rest in peace. |
|
| Aug-15-12 | | LoveThatJoker: A truly tremendous victory from GM Gligoric!

| Sep-19-12 | | chesssalamander: I thought the Smyslov Variation of the Ruy Lopez was 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6. |

| | brankat: <chesssalamander> <I thought the Smyslov Variation of the Ruy Lopez was 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6.> The line is usually referred to as "Modern Steinitz Defence, fianchetto variation." |
|
| Sep-19-12 | | chesssalamander: But I thought 3....d6 was the Steinitz. |
|
Sep-19-12
 | | perfidious: <chesssalamander> The old form of the Steinitz is 3....d6 and the modern (or Steinitz Deferred) is 3....a6 4.Ba4 d6. The line beginning with 3....g6 is known as the Smyslov, as is that beginning with 9....h6 in the present game. <brankat> Inter alia, there's a sideline in the Modern Steinitz (4....d6 5.0-0 Bd7 6.c3 g6) which was featured in the well-known game Fine vs Alekhine, 1938. |
|
| Sep-19-12 | | SimonWebbsTiger: 9...Nd7 is a Smyslov line too (although it's been called the Karpov variation!) |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | Dragi: RIP Gliga |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | Dragi: This is one of the most beautiful game i have ever seen |
