  Phony Benoni: A typical Kupreichik game, in which the seemingly harmless 8.a4 sets up the final mating attack.
Dec-21-17  zanzibar: Interesting game when you ask where Black went wrong:

GM mistake:

(Black to move after 14.d4-d5)


click for larger view

Black plays 14...Nc6-a7, essentially taking the knight out of play, when 14...Nc6-e7 keeps the knight more active. The idea is that b5 is adequately protected by the later ...c6 anyways, and the bishop shores up c6 just fine and dandy.

IM mistake:

(Black to move after 18.b3-b4)

Black plays the too aggressive 18...f5, when 18...Rc8 or 18...Qc7 are both more solid. I'm afraid Black hasn't earned the right to open up the position just yet.

Losing move:

(Black to play after 20.Bc2-b1)


click for larger view

Black plays 20...fxe4 compounding the mistake in the previous position. Opening the game up only benefits White at this point. After 21.Nxe4 Bxd5 Black must have overlooked the B-sac 22.Bxh6! ripping open the K-side and leading eventually to the coup-de-grace forced mate after 26...Bd5-e6

(I'll admit it's much easier to sound "way smart" sitting at home with an engine... but still, I think those are good positions in the game to analyze)

Mar-10-21  Whitehat1963: Good puzzle material around 21...Bxd5.
Apr-02-24  vonKrolock: Excellent exemplification of Black's mistakes by <zanzibar> ... Yes, <20...fxe4>, in particular, was <<<<<<<kaka>>>>>>>..
