| Sep-24-04 | | kevin86: This one looked bad for black early-white had many pieces menacing the center,but black was gradually able to press on while his opponent was stagnant. The finish was a circus of double attacks-which yielded 3 pieces for a rook and a pawn. "What we have here is a failure to communicate!!!" CHL |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | themindset: isn't this a pirc? (an early deviation of the Austrian attack?) |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Wild Bard: Actually, it's a Robatsch (Modern). The king's knight stays at home for a while to guard the K-side holes while black seeks counterplay in the centre or Q-side. The Pirc involves an early Nf6. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Drudge: I'm a big newbie at chess. Why cannot White play:
30. Qe7? Then won't black have to move his rook to a8 to prevent Rc3-Rc7? so then white could play Rf5. Black will have to move his queen to f5. then white can play a4. preventing black queen to b5. Not sure what black would play then. But assuming he did nothin about the rook on c3 could white then move c3rook to c7 takin the pawn. Then if black took that rook with his rook white could get a draw? --- |

| Sep-24-04 | | patzer2: McShane's 23...Rxe4!! initiates a deep and subtle combination, to mount an attack on White's weakened Queenside castled position. An expanded analysis follows: Main Variation: 23...♖xe4 24. ♗xe4 ♘c3+ 25. ♗xc3

| Sep-24-04 | | patzer2: <Drudge> Welcome to ChessGames.com. Glad you're taking an interest in the game. You may wish to take a look at some of the help links above to familiarize yourself a bit more with the game and this site. The move you selected to examine (is not a bad choice given White's predicament (trying to save a lost game). After 30. Qe7, Black simply plays 30...Rc8 (I think that's what you intended), holding a solid won position and awaiting White's next move |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Drudge: patzer2 Yes i ment c8.
So what happens after black plays Rc8 and then white plays Rf5? |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | xqdashi: <Drudge>
30. Qe7 Rc8 31. Rxf5 Qxf5 32. a4 is
winning for black. And your further
idea of Rxc7 Rxc7 to get a draw(??)
doesn't work. e.g. pick a reasonable
move by black which allows Rxc7 (say 32...Bxd4 or whatever) then 33. Rxc7
Rxc7 and what? after Q checks on back rank white runs out of checks e.g.
34. Qd8+(Qe8+) Qc8 or 34. Qd8+(Qe8+) Kb7 seem ok. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Willem Wallekers: <Drudge>
Welcome in the fascinating world of chess. Heed patzer2's advice and try to practice with other novices of flesh an blood, rather than computer programs. I wish you lots of fun and success. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | aw1988: <patzer2> You must have no trouble winning games. Any move played against you has already been analyzed! |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Hanada: <Patzer> I am confused by your A column. You have the variation:
(A.) [25. bxc3 26. Bxe4 Ne3 27. Nxd5!]
As I look at this, the first thing I notice is that your notation seems to be off when you have white making the capture Bxe4. That would be black's capture, no? In addition, how can black capture Nxd5??? There is nothing on that square to capture. Here is the line I saw in this variation: 23)...Rxe4 24)Bxe4 Nc3+
Now if...
A)25)bxc3 Bxe4 26)Ne3 b3! and I think that may do the trick..... Does that make sense...I hope so. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | patzer2: <aw1988> No I'm not that good. When I was an active tournament player I did well against class A players, but most experts and Masters usually got the better of me. However, with the benefit of hindsight and plenty of research and time, it's not too hard to analyze and find improvements in games played after the fact. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | patzer2: <Hanada> Thanks for the catch, and sorry for the confusion. I double checked, but obviously missed it in the (A.) line. The correction to the (A.) line is
(A.) [25. bxc3 Bxe4 26. Ne3 Nd5!]
and now all the (A.1 to (A.5) subvariations should make sense, with (A.2) and (A.4) being perhaps the most interesting and instructive lines. The complete (A. Continued) line (below the A.5 line)should read (A. Continued) [25. bxc3 Bxe4 26. Ne3 Nd5 27. Nxd5 (A.1 to A.5 analyze other White 27th move alternatives) 27...Bxd5 28. Be1 Qxa2+ 29. Kc1 Qa1+ 30. Kd2 bxc3+ 31. Ke2 (31. Kd3 Qxd1+ ) 31...Re8+ 32. Kd3 Qxd1+ ] |

 | | IMlday: 10. 0-0-0 looks risky!
mysterious game! |
|
| Sep-25-04 | | Hanada: <Patzer> Ah, I see now. Good, I thought I was seeing phantoms...I have been known to do that from time to time. In your analysis you have 26)...Nd5!
What do you think of 26)...b3 instead?
Seems more direct to me, but maybe I am missing the depth of your idea. |
|
| Sep-25-04 | | patzer2: <Hanada> Alhough 25. bxc3 Bxe4! 26. Ne3 Nd5! wins impressively, your alternative 26...b3! also gives Black a decisive advantage. However, 26...b3! is not as simple as it first looks and has its own unique complications. Following 25. bxc3 ♗xe4 26. ♘e3, your alternative 26...b3! wins as follows: 26...b3! 27. axb3 ♕xb3+ 28. ♔a1 ♕a3+ 29. ♔b1 ♔a8!
[also winning is 29...Nd5! ; the simpler 29...Na4!? 30. Nc4 Qb3+ 31. Ka1 Qxc4 32. Rb1+ Nb6 33. Rb4 Qc6 34. Rfb1  to may be barely winning but petrmits White too much active counterplay] 30. ♗c1
[30. Qf7 Nc4! 31. Qxc4 (31. Bc1 Rb8+ ; 31. Nxc4 Rb8+ ) 31...Rb8+ 32. Qb4 Rxb4 33. cxb4 Bxd4 ; 30. Qe2 Nc4! 31. Qxc4 Rb8+ transposes ] [30. Be1 Na4 31. Nc4 Rb8+ 32. Nb6+ Rxb6#; 30. Rc1 Rb8 31. Nd1 Nc4+ 32. Nb2 Qxb2#; 30. Qh4 Rb8 31. Bc1 Nc4+ 32. Bb2 Qxb2#] 30...♕b3+ 31. ♔a1

| Jun-04-11 | | wordfunph: game quote..
"Needing to win this game with black, I called on my beloved Hippo, whose main merits include making it almost impossible to hoover the pieces." - GM Luke McShane |
|
May-06-24
 | | plang: The second of a two game match which McShane needed to to split the match and force tiebreakers (which he went on to win). 9 a4 is the recommended and most popular move attempting weaken Black's queenside while 9 Ne4, 9 Be4 and 9 0-0 have also been played; Navara's 9 Qe2 was new but has not been repeated. Black's queenside castling effectively neutralized White's kingside push. After 14..f5 White should have settled for 16 Rde1..Ned5 17 Bd2..Rde8 18 c3 with a small edge; istead, after the over-aggressive 16 Ng5?! Black started to take over the initiative. White continued his misguided kingside play with 21 f5? which only fueled Black's decisive attack; 21 Ne2 or 21 Rde1 were alternatives. |

|
| May-25-24 | | parch3: parch3: <plang> is correct with 21.f5? 21.Ne2 looks best, to bolster the Queenside. For Black to play ...Nc3+ he would have to eliminate, the e4 Knight, 23...R:e4! 24.B:e4 Nc3+! 25.bc3 B:e4 26.Ne3 b3 |

| May-25-24 | | vajeer: Although computer prefers 25. Bxc3 defense, I think 25. bxc3 gives more complicated position. In desperation, that may be a better try in case a human player makes a mistake? |
