| Nov-02-04 | | aw1988: Amazing. Bronstein locks the queenside then proceeds to a kingside attack. Amazing strategic game. |

 | | keypusher: Wow, you're right. I have never seen a French Defense like this! |
|
| Nov-02-04 | | Granite: Wow! 21... Rxh3 was a shocker, great game. |
|
| Nov-02-04 | | aw1988: chessgames, I suggest this as a game of the day- suggested pun: "DeFrenched" although my puns are usually pretty worthless. But it would make a nice game of the day nonetheless. |
|
| Nov-02-04 | | Shams: how about
"biting de firm" (the farm) as a title pun?
ok it`s lame, but you`re right-- this is a fantastic game and we should lobby for GOTD. |
|
| Nov-21-04 | | JohnBoy: "Decline of de Firm." Nick gets crushed here by one of the greats! I'm wondering, though, whether 28...Bd3 is sharper than the 28...Rh8 as played. The point is to follow with ...Rh8, of course. It seems to undermine the K-side defenses a bit more, by taking away access to e2 (major pieces) and hitting f1 (resting spot for the knight). |
|
| Nov-21-04 | | JohnBoy: I suppose that 28...Bd3 will be met with 29.Re1, so that if 29...Rh8 then 30.Re6. The whole game is a strategic masterpiece by Bronstein. Beautifully executed. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Not even Nimzo would have played like this. As long as Black can keep the position closed and avoid conceding easy targets, he can get away with undeveloping his only developed piece, smashing his own King side into tiny bits (all the better for the eventual counterattack), letting exactly one of White's pieces at a time penetrate deep into his own position, and never castling. I especially liked how Bronstein gradually constricted the mobility of White's minor pieces. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | aw1988: LOL. They finally added it! |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | aw1988: Thank you chessgames! :) |

|
| Dec-03-04 | | aw1988: I am the old wolf. Steinitz is the old lion. I wonder who would win. :) |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | aw1988: By the way, this game came up when I was searching the opening explorer for 5...Bf8, because I was impressed with Kasparov vs Ivanchuk, 1995. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | Ultra: Interesting game. Definitely shows a different way of getting it done. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | acirce: <And remember the slogan that he [Philidor] proclaimed in the middle of the 18th century – ‘The pawns are the soul of chess!’ Do we not hear in this echoes of the coming Great French Revolution?> -- Kasparov |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | AdrianP: Reminds me of Space Invaders... |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | Nakki88: Ok ppl, why does chessgames.com keep showing these same games all over again? I KNOW I've seen this game here not so long ago. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | Castle In The Sky: From 21.g4?? there is no return. It is wonderful to watch Bronstein stick to a consistent theme of busting open the h-file which was clearly signalled at 12.Bxg6 hxg6 His piece coordination is amazing |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | kevin86: At move 32,It looks like white has a material advantage-until yo count the pawn-and realize that white is confined to the first three ranks! Soon after,black's attack became overwhelming!
Interesting isblack bishop pull back to f8 on move five. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | Eatman: This was my first time seeing this game. What fun! Predates the before mentioned Kasparov-Ivanchuk 0-1 game. |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | JohnBoy: Near future GOTD: DeFirmian vs Vallejo-Pons, 2003 - deFirm goes down hard. |
|
Dec-03-04
 | | tpstar: Near future GOTD pun = "Vallejo of the Dolls" or "On Golden Pons." |
|
| Dec-03-04 | | aw1988: <DeFirmian vs Vallejo-Pons, 2003> Brilliant game! |
|
| Dec-18-04 | | patzer2: I'm adding this game's 21...Rxh3! to my "demolition of pawn structure" collection. Although 21...Rxh3! is obviously not a sacrifice on h3, the Rook's capture on h3 does permit the sacrifice of the Knight on f5. As is typical of most of these "demolition of pawn" cover attacks, the resulting position, with two pawns for the Knight, facilitates a powerful attack against a weakened White King position. |
