(if 18...Kxf7?? then there is a bitter bitter end after 19.Qh7+ Kf6 20.f4+! Rg8 21.e4 Rg7 22.fxg5+ Kxg5 23.Qxg7+ Kh5 24.g4+ Kh4 25.Qxh6+ Kxg4 26.h3#) 19.f4+! Qxf7 20.fxg5 Qh7 21.g6 Qg7 22.Rad1!

 | | Abdel Irada: <Once>: This may surprise you, but in some variations of the Borg Defense (Borg = Grob reversed), that is precisely what Black often does. However, in those positions, White isn't typically well placed to open lines as in this game. (In fact, I have enjoyed substantial success against my computer chess program with exactly such lines — although it should be noted that finding effective means of attacking without a clear target is not among silicon's greatest inherent strengths.) On the other hand, it often proves that neither king is safe on the kingside in Grob/Borg formations, which often find both players castling long or not at all. |
