27 Kh6?, Kf8>
Wouldn't white then have:
28.Qg7+ Ke7
29.Rxe6+ Kxe6
30.Bg4+ Ke7
31.Rd7+ winning
or 30...f5 31.Nc5#"
What about 26...Re8 27.Kh6 Kf8 28.Rg4, with (I think) a much simpler win? I don't see a real defense to 29.Rg8+ Kxg8 30.Qg7#; e.g. 28...Bxg4 29.Qg7# |

Jan-31-07 | | whatthefat: <CRWynn>
Yes, that's probably a more elegant way to do things! |
|
Nov-06-07 | | Samagonka: Like I said before, mind over matter once you are in check. It really takes bravery to turn weakness into strength. My motto is: don't panic! Think simple. Move convinced! Both on the board and in real life circumstances! |

31. Re4+ wins even easier:
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Qe7
33. Rxe7 Rxe7
34. Qd4+ Kc7
35. Qxc4
31. ... Kd6
32. Qd4#
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Re7
33. Qh8+ Re8
34. Qxe8# |

Dec-13-08 | | WhiteRook48: Why 26...Bd5??? Totally ignores the threat of Kh6 and Qg7#. |
|
Dec-22-08 | | WhiteRook48: favorite King walk game |
|
Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: he beat the goose |
|
May-15-09 | | Kinghunt: Whiterook, he doesn't have any better option. The only move that even delays the mate is 26... Qe7, but that is still no defense. |
|
May-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: well, 26...Qe7... is a forced queen win |
|
Oct-25-10 | | sevenseaman: Fantastic! Its like the K and the Q decided their army wasn't good enough and two of them together went to conquer a distant land on their own, leading by example. Ironically Black Q checks only helped the White king in the right direction. |

May-25-16 | | waustad: Considering the puns possible between the name Weenink and an opening named after Wien, I'm happy that they just came up with something else. I suspect that they merely hadn't a clue how the city is pronounced by those who live there. |

White's pieces have been playing a Sicilian. |

 | | moronovich: <White's pieces have been playing a Sicilian.> Good point/lol!
So if we move pc6 to e6 everyone would be happy. |

May-25-16 | | thegoodanarchist: This game is novel in my experience. Deserves GOTD. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 18...dxe4 was a weak move. It was necessary to play 18...Qa3+ 19.Kd1 Nd7 with very complex and quite unclear play. |
|
May-25-16 | | AvidChessMan: <Samagonka: .. My motto is: don't panic!> Is this on the cover of the Hitchhikers Guide to Chess? It seems that black was unprepared for the white king's daring trek. |
|
May-25-16 | | kevin86: White's king marches up to assist his queen in mating the opposition. |
|
May-25-16
 | | AylerKupp: <AvidChessMan> Yes, to boldly go where no king has gone before. |

Jul-02-23 | | Albion 1959: What a game !! Don't see many games like this. Simply because it is too risky bring your king into the heart of the enemy position. Black got a bit carried away and misplayed the attack. He was doing okay up move 25 with Qc7+?? This is not an easy position to play. So it was natural that black went astray in the complications. It was not an easy or obvious move to find, but Rfe8!! is the saving move, for example:
25. Kf4 Rfe8!!
26. Kg5 c5!
27. Kh6 Bxh3
28. Qxb6 Nxb6
29. Rxe8+ Rxe8
30. Nxc5 Bc8
Reaches an endgame, but black is a pawn in arrears: |
