| Feb-27-14 | | SChesshevsky: I always thought a major element of Kasparov's greatness was his play on open files, especially with Rooks. Maybe another example
Kasparov vs Korchnoi, 1991 |
|
| Apr-05-15 | | SpiritedReposte: This game looks close and then bam Rh5 and Ng4 hit like lightning. |

 | | tpstar: Very brave of Lautier to venture down this Sveshnikov line after seeing Kasparov's smashing win Kasparov vs Kramnik, 1994 from earlier that year. Improvements for Black? |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | scholes: I had qxg8. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | WhiteRook48: Huh, I wanted to play 28. Rd8. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | agb2002: A bit famous. That Ng4 is difficult to forget. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | patzer2: Didn't immediately recall today's Friday puzzle (28. ?) from 12 years ago, but perhaps I had a faint recollection as I managed to find 28. Ng4! +-. The computer indicates Black's decisive mistake was 25...Rc5? allowing 26. h6 +- (+3.66 @ 27 ply, Stockfish 8). Instead, 25...Rg8 26. Qf4 a5 ± (+1.08 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 8) puts up considerably more resistance. In the opening, though there's probably nothing wrong with 13...Rb8, I prefer the popular move 13...Bg5 as in the draw in Sutovsky vs L Lenic, 2017. I was surprised to see how deeply strong GMs have analyzed this B33 Sicilian opening. In White's win in A Giri vs Shirov, 2014, it was reported to have been repetition of play from correspondence chess for the first 27 moves. |

 | | rodchuck: I tried and tried to make Qxg8 work, without success. Finally after about 15 minutes I found Ng4, with the idea of challenging the black queen, and if 28... Rxg5, then Nxe5 probably winning. I haven't seen this game before, but was happy that the solution was correct. Thank you <patzer2> for your instructive analyses in 2005. |

| Dec-15-17 | | malt: Seen this recently,in a book by Y.Neishtadt, it went, 28.Ng4 R:g5 (28...Qe6 29.Rd8+!)
29.N:e5 R:h5 30.Rd8+ Ng8 31.Nf7#
Did not get this first time round,
there must be more variations to this, which <patzer2> would find. |

|
| Dec-15-17 | | patzer2: <rodchuck> Your Welcome! It also took me a while to find 28. Ng4, even though I had solved it 12 years ago. <malt> I don't know how many variations I would find. This time around I saw 28. Ng4 after a long look, and simply figured it must be the solution as I couldn't find a reply for Black to refute it. |

| Dec-15-17 | | saturn2: Not so difficult once you see the idea of mate Nxf7++ |

| Dec-15-17 | | Dionysius1: Crikey! Who would chose 14...♘e7 15 ♘xf6 gxf6 against as good an attacker as Kasparov? Was Lautier's position so bad already that he had to, or was he just tremendously brave? |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | Monocle: <Dionysius1: Crikey! Who would chose 14...♘e7 15 ♘xf6 gxf6 against as good an attacker as Kasparov?> Kramnik, apparently.
Kasparov vs Kramnik, 1994 Possibly Lautier had an improvement in mind, but Kasparov deviated first. |

After 30 Rxg5 in this line here is the position. 
click for larger viewDown an exchange, black has no protection at d8 to hold against a back rank mate. So after 30...Nc6 31 Ba4 black will soon lose another piece for that back rank vulnerability.

Kramnik, apparently.
Kasparov vs Kramnik, 1994>
Yes, and according to Kasparov's 1994 analysis Lautier should have played 19...f5. He was always very confident and ambitious against Kasparov, having a positive score at the time and finally finishing with one. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | ChessHigherCat: This was a very sharp variant of the Pelican. Everybody I used to play against in this line played:
9. Na3 b5 10. Bxf6 immediately.
At first I thought the game line leads to a draw by repetition: 10. Nd5 Qa5+ 11. Bd2 Qd8 12. Bg5 Qa5+, etc. But maybe white get away with 11. b4?
10. Nd5 Qa5+ 11. b4 Qxa3? (11...Nxb4 12. Bd2 Qxa3 15. Bxb4 Qb2 16. Rb1 Qd4 17. Qxd4 exd4 18. Nc7+ Kd8 19. Nxa8) |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | Steve.Patzer: I also chose Rd8. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | AlicesKnight: Success! Fou8nd the game move Ng4! |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | StevieB: Shockingly good move. |
|

 | | Let The Wookiee Win: 28...Qe6 is probably black's best try. I had 30.Nf6 as the response. Some lines finish nicely, but black has a defense. Anyone see the defense? Black to move:
