| Oct-04-07 | | Kaspablanca: 30.Qe7 winning a piece and the game.
What piece?? |
|
Oct-04-07
 | | WannaBe: <Uzi> Good eyes!! 30. Qe7 is replied with 30...Qxe7 31. Nxe7+ Kf7 32. Rxd7 winning the bishop. Of course, I had Shredder's help running that line. =) |
|
| Oct-04-07 | | underdoggum: what if 30. Qe7 ...Qxe7 31.Nxe7+ ...Kg7 instead? then after white takes the bishop, black can do Rf7 and have an effective pin once his b8 rook moves to f8 is that a stable pin? |
|
| Oct-05-07 | | likestofork: <underdoggum> Maybe more stable than psychotic, power-hungry chimpanzees spending billions upon uncounted billions of dollars on weapons that, if used, would assure the destruction of all sides, but after black moves Rf7, white's response of Nxf5+ should be sufficient refutation regarding the alleged pin. |

No, it's not a stable pin, due to 33.Nxf5+ |

 | | FSR: Yes, according to Houdini 3, poor Cardinali missed a clear win with either 30.Qe7! (+5) or 30.Qg3 (+3). On his last move, instead of blundering into mate in one, 40.Qd4 would have been dead equal. |

| Feb-29-20 | | areknames: <When the Sac of Rome almost became the Rape of Lucretia (trust me, it's a literary reference). The unheralded, unrated Cardinali misses the simple and elegant 30.Qe7 winning a piece and the game> Indeed, the Sac of Rome most likely wouldn't have happened, she certainly would not have scored 8.5/9. Consider also her rd1 game which she only won thanks to another massive blunder:Zsofia Polgar vs A Rabczewski, 1989
After these lucky escapes in the first 2 rounds, young Zsofia however started mauling Soviet GMs and won the tournament deservedly. |

 | | Richard Taylor: You mean (or someone meant) 'The Rape of Lucrece' by Shakespeare I think about Tarquin. I read the rather too salubrious (or salacious?) and stimulating poem as a teenager many years ago.... I know about the sac of Rome...she won that but later had trouble with accepting the idea of drawing I heard...I have a book about the Polgar sisters and I think I read it in there....They said that in some ways she is or was the most talented player...But of course she left chess... |
|
| Apr-20-21 | | areknames: A considerably bigger heist than the one in Rd 1, hence: "Polgarheist II: The Other Side" ! |
|
| Apr-20-21 | | areknames: "Polgarheist II: The Cardinal Sin" is perhaps better! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Exciting but flawed game, and who cares? The pun is next-level next level. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Excellent pun. |

 | | Teyss: Good game despite the mistakes as noted above. Maybe seasoned players like Cardinali and Rabczewski on rounds 2 and 1 respectively were too flippant, thinking winning against a 14-year old girl would be easier. Afterwards the other IMs and GMs were more careful as her score increased. For the pun, everything fits: "heist" due to Cardinali's mistakes, II for the round, cardinal in Rome... except the two parts together since the full title of 'Poltergeist II' is 'The Other Side'. There is no Cardinal in the movie and a cardinal sin is not part of the plot. Am I missing something or did the punster try to fit too much into the title? |
|
| Nov-14-24 | | areknames: <Teyss> Well maybe I was trying to fit too much in and originally I wanted to use 'The Other Side' but then I thought the rest fitted well and Cardinal seemed a better choice, given the player's name. Call it a venial sin ;). |

 | | offramp: I saw Freddie Bartholomew in <DavId CopperfIeld>. There was nothing in that. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 27.Nf5! was a pretty shot deserving a full point. |
|
| Nov-14-24 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: "Sacco di Roma" 1989 - after 2 lucky wins in rounds 1 and 2, the just 14 years old Sofia Polgar played THE tournament of her life, defeating S. Palatnik, C. D'Amore, A. Chernin, M. Suba, M. Mrdja and Y. Razuvaev and drawing S. Dolmatov in the next 7 consecutive rounds. |
|

| | FSR: Excellent pun! Not sure how many saw the first <Polgarheist> flick: S Polgar vs A Rabczewski, 1989. |
|

| | FSR: There actually was a cardinal named Sin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime... |

| | offramp: I can trump Marco Cardinali with Alistair Pope. There's only one person above pope: Jesus Nogueiras. |
|
Nov-15-24
 | | perfidious: Senor Nogueiras is small, of average appearance, but packs a mean punch. Had I managed to complete the sweep of his compatriot Reynaldo Vera in a blitz event at Montreal 1996, we should have met in the next round. |

| | FSR: <offramp> I am currently competing in the GOD and GOD1 tournaments on ICCF. I think "GOD" in this context means German Open, section D. |
|
Nov-15-24
| | perfidious: <FSR>, do you propose to post godlike results in these events? |
|
Nov-15-24
| | offramp: <FSR> I can trump your GOD, with Trump. |
|
Nov-15-24
| | FSR: <perfidious> Not likely. I'm playing all fellow 2300+ players, so 20 draws out of 20 is the most probable result. If I managed to win two games and draw the other eight in a tournament, that would be a God-like result by my lights. (Or, much better, get +1 in each of the tournaments, which would be two IM norms.) I'll be lucky if I win one game (in either tournament) and draw the other 19. So far I have eight draws, four in each tournament. |
