 | | Infohunter: Never before have I seen a (non-spurious) game with six Queens on the board--and it ends up a draw yet! |

A lot of work to win one pawn! |

| Nov-28-12 | | vardeep: Initially...white's 22.Bc5 offering bishop seemed an unsound sac. i couldn't see any reason why black can't immediately capture with
dxc5.if white responds after the capture with 23.Rd7 attacking both queen and bishop... then black can respond with the simple Rd4..white is a piece down and has no compensation for the bishop sac.. much later i realised that after Rd4.. white can reply with excellent 24.Qxd4 and now black is lost... |

 | | Garech: Impressive game! I've always hoped that I will get to play a "multiqueen" in proper tournament conditions; it's pretty cool. I couldn't resist putting this thru Fritz just to get an idea whether anyone missed anything - to my surprise, it was accurately played by both sides - at least when all the queens were knocking about. After 23.Bxd6, white is virtually winning, but Szalanczy followed up slightyly wrong - apparently correct was 25.Rd8+ where after ...Rxd8 26.Qxd8+ Qxd8 27. Rxd8+ Kg2 28.Nd2 Rc6 29.bxc4 white is up two pawns without much compensation for black:  click for larger view54.Qec7, apparently, was also an inaccuracy, with Qd8 being preferable:  click for larger viewand an eval of +0.6 instead of 0.0
Nguyen, for his part, missed pretty much only 72...Ng4:  click for larger viewwith an eval of -1.3 instead, again, of an almost dead level game. Great stuff!

I have to admit that sentence wouldn't have occurred to me.> For the record, it wouldn't have occurred to me either, but that's another story for another day. After White lets the advantage slip through his hands, as pointed out in <Garech>'s kibitz, this game eventually takes a fascinating turn from the prosaic exploitation of an advantage by the stronger player to a Daliesque bit of surrealism. |
