Because black is ahead in material and so he will facilitate exchanges by threatening to exchange queens." How on earth do you come up with the idea that Black is ahead in material at move 13? For that matter, why didn't anyone else ask you that question? |

| Feb-28-11 | | Akavall: 23. Qg6!! is awesome.
Even though it's not original (Marshall's 23. Qg3 is), but I like how this move reinforces the theme. It also underlines the importance of studying beautiful attacking games. |
|
| Feb-28-11 | | Grilo: Absolutely stunned by the  g6 - even though I have seen Marshall's g3 in my early periods of tactical studies.
click for larger viewThe only piece holding Black's position together is the misplaced and ready-to-be-kicked  f4. It is the sentinel to d5, preventing the bishop exchange followed by f6+. Patzer-style-me would have quickly played 20.g3 and probably ruined my lifetime chance of becoming famous. 20.g3 simply blocks third-file access. Rossolimo has greater purposes than me, he wants as many pieces as possible in his mating party. 20. a3 is the winning move. A party with few people is kind of lame, don't you agree? Forseeing 21.f3, blowing the knight away, Reissmann "prophilatically" played 20...e6. Well, we all see how that worked out. |

| Feb-28-12 | | jurado96: this is better than marshalls |
|
| Feb-29-12 | | drukenknight: wow! those were some awesome old time stories. THanks guys. For robesone 2.26.11: have no idea at this time, back then I had some odd ideas about how to evaluate positions, hopefully I am all better now. Have not looked at this game in a while and wonder why did black not break the pin on his g pawn? |

| Apr-26-12 | | Llawdogg: 23 Qg6 reminds me of 23 ... Qg3! (Marshall) |

 | | sevenseaman: 23. Qg6 is definitely redolent of the famous Marshall Q move. Here Rh3 threat stops both the White Q or N being taken any which way. There is no defense indeed. |

 | | HeMateMe: the pun, in spanish or latin means....? |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | think: <HeMateMe> It means "Queen of the Night" in Italian. |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | newzild: My first thought when clicking through the game was "Aha! He's going to play 23. Qxe6 fxe6 24. Ng6+ hxg6 25. Rh3#!" But of course 23. Qg6 is more spectacular. |
|

| | HeMateMe: Pretty classy pun! I would have come up with something like "Sacked Broad Breaches Barricades". |

| Aug-16-12 | | JonathanJ: 23. Qxe6 Qxe5
and then? |
|
Aug-16-12
 | | shivasuri4: <JonathonJ>, that would be followed by 24. Qxe5. |

 | | Abdel Irada: <HeMateMe>:
I presume that the pun is in Italian in honor of the victor, Rossolimo, who in spite of his Ukrainian citizenship would appear to have been of Italian descent. (In Latin, it would be "regina noctis"; in Spanish, I believe it would be "la reina de la noche," although I'd have to check. It would be interesting to learn how to say it in Ukrainian.) |

 | | kevin86: The ending gives black the choice of being mated with two knights or the Arabian Mate with knight and rook. |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | KingV93: The pressure White brings to the kingside is incredible. I don't play the Italian game but the tactics in this game make me wanna give it a try! |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | Organizer: I knew Rossolimo. He ran a chess studio in Greenwich Village, NY in the 1960s. He was a wonderful guy, and had many grandmasters visit the studio, including Bobby Fischer.
Rossolimo died way before his time in a tragic fall on a stairway. |
|

 | | perfidious: <Organizer> 'Way before his time'? He was sixty-five then. Just weeks before his death I visited his studio for the first time and got demolished by the old maestro in a simul. Look at that impotent lump of a bishop, bereft at a8. Is that a fate which should be suffered by any self-respecting queen's bishop in an open game? |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | ferrabraz: In the final position black has 24...Ng5, but after 25. Nf7! Rf7 26. Qc2! looses his queen because of a back rank mate. |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | backrank: Compare also to 26 Qg6!! in K Darga vs A Dueckstein, 1963 |
