Kibitzer's Corner
May-06-05  soberknight: broken Glass
Dec-26-06  Counterpoint: What's the continuation?

28.QxB NxB+ 29.Kf1 Nf4 30.Qxb7 BxR ?

Dec-26-06  Ashram64: 20.Qxd5 Nxe2+ 21. Kh1 (or Kf1) Nc3 forking white Queen and Rook.

White will have to play with a full rook down. Not very optimistic verse a "Fine" player.

Dec-26-06  Ashram64: I know it's a cheezy and corny :)
Dec-26-06  Happypuppet: White kept going for something on the a2-g8 diagonal, and Fine just sidesteps it with Kh8 before White even finishes.
Dec-26-06  aldehyde: I would have prefered 25. Bd3 instead of useless 25. b5

that would have stopped black one move from implementing an additional knight attack

Dec-26-06  Kruglov: <aldehyde: I would have preferred 25. Bd3> 25.Bd3 Bxd3 26.Q(R)xd3 e4 = fork on knight and Queen (Rook).
Dec-26-06  Pariah: What about 28 Qg3?
Dec-26-06  Karpova: <Pariah: What about 28 Qg3?> 28...Nxe2+ forking queen and king
Dec-26-06  nimzo knight: 26..Nf2 dosent seem bad either. 27 Qg3 QxQ 28. PxQ NxR and now white can either capture the black's Knight or defend his own.
Dec-26-06  slowcrawl: Nice finish by Fine.

  kevin86: White resigned at the best time as after 28♔g3 ♘e2+ 29 ♔h1(or f1) ♘xg3+ 30 hxg3 ♗xa1 boy would he ever be broke!!

Strangely appropriate to talk about being broke on the day after Christmas-as many are :(

Dec-26-06  Themofro: Well played by Fine, as always.
Dec-26-06  soberknight: I had the first kibitz! I'm such a dork. :) Anyway, after a slow start, it was an interesting game.
Dec-26-06  McCool: 25.b5 seems like a waste of a move.
Dec-26-06  Mac3: Eduard must have had much to reflect on after the game. Like where did I go wrong? :-) That said the fundamental question that we should ask ourselves here is... Did Rueben win a Fine game because he was the first to see the light? or Did Eduard lose because he saw through Glass darkly? Perhaps the answer is yes to both questions??

  technical draw: Afterwards they had a fine glass of wine.
Dec-26-06  Defiler: b5 does look like the losing move. Perhaps Rac1. ?
Apr-15-09  WhiteRook48: Glass is broken by a Fine player
