Apr-03-05 | | kevin86: The obvious,inescapable threat is :KNIGHT to Foxtrot SIX=checkmate!! |
|
Apr-03-05 | | dac1990: <kevin86> What? |

 | | tpstar: <kevin86> Bravo, Yankee Papa! Let's do the Whiskey Tango, and award the Victor an Oscar for her X-Ray vision! Sorry Charlie, I'm on the Mike. After Romeo and Juliet did a Kilo at the Hotel India in the Lima Delta, then Alpha male Zulu played Golf in Uniform at the Quebec Sierra in November. Is there an Echo in here? ;>D |
|
Apr-03-05 | | BipolarChessorder: looks like 21. Rxd7 wins as well. Black might get in a few checks with his Queen though, and I guess 21. Qxb8 is more elegant. |

 | | solardog: I cannot imagine playing a game like this. I know that there is theory here, but it seems so wild and unbalanced. I admire the bravery. |
|
Apr-03-05 | | resty: why not play 11...Nd7 instead? am just a beginner, plase explain and let me learn. |
|
Apr-04-05 | | crafty: 11...♘bd7 12. ♗xd6 ♗f8 13. ♗c7 ♕c8 14. ♕c6 ♗e7 15. O-O-O (eval 3.25; depth 13 ply; 150M nodes) |
|
Apr-04-05 | | resty: thanks CRAFTY! |
|
Apr-23-05 | | pantlko: very good combination by zsuzaa........beauty with brain........ideal combination...... |
|
Jun-30-05 | | aw1988: I truly am getting sick and tired of seeing the constant gawking at all the female players. |
|

 | | tpstar: <aw1988> You're absolutely right. Let's gawk at the male players for a spell. Ooooh, Korchnoi, what hot property!
Leko's just so dreamy!
Peter Hardicsay, is he a cutie? Hard-ta-say!
j/k ;>D |

Jun-30-05 | | underrated: I personally think this ‘brains’ that <pantlko> is referring to are not the kind I prefer in a woman. As stereotypical as it sounds I find woman smarts more attractive than the man smarts that could be more typically associated with chess. I appreciate the intellectual differences between a man and woman’s brain. If you find this kind of smart ideal then you might be gay… Well I guess that’s a little extreme…
Women are beautiful because of their differences from men |

Actually, I don't think 21.Rxd7 quite works: 21.Rxd7 Qg4+ 22.g3 Qxh6 23.Qxb8+ Kg7 24.Qb7... there may be a perpetual in there...
The beauty of 20.Re7 is that it is an interference as well as a deflection. |
|
Aug-27-05 | | blackjacki2: 21. Ne4 is also winning, right? |
|
Jun-09-06 | | Polak: Might have beeen played: 9. Qa4+ Bd7 10. Qb3 Bc8 with simple repetition. Not 10...Qc7, because 11. B:d6 costs an exchange. To prolong the game black should either play 9...Kf8!?, thinking about an artificial castle, or 10...Ra7!?, an strange, but useful move. |
|
Nov-15-06 | | Towershield: If 20...Bf5 then for instance 21.Qb7 Nd7 22.Ne4! Bxe4 23.Qxd7 Qxd7 24.Rxd7 f5 25.Rd8+ Kf7 26.Rxh8  |
|
Dec-14-06 | | DHW: Thanks for that Towershield I was wondering about 20...Bf5. You are right it doesn't hold.
Great combination! |
|
Dec-12-08 | | Khalis: Great play by Zsuzsa Polgar. |
|
Jan-14-09 | | swarmoflocusts: Ne4 is a beautiful move. Compared to the moves preceding it, it is inconceivably passive in nature, and yet it is the key to the attack. The aesthetics of such a closing are wonderful. |
|
Jan-23-10 | | prensdepens: A very nice tenseful tactical gem! |
|
Jan-23-10 | | prensdepens: <blackjacki2: 21. Ne4 is also winning, right?> ...Yes, you're right, 21. Ne4 wins too. It is just that, the text move- the sacrifice of the queen is more dramatic and makes our jaws drop in awe! |
|
May-14-14 | | Whitehat1963: What's best play after 18...Kd7?
I'm not using a computer, but I think I see 19. Qa7+/b7+ 19...Qc7 (forced) 20. Re7+ Kxe7 21. Qxc7. Is that best? |
|
Nov-19-14 | | mikealando: That combination's left me literally trembling in awe. What knowledge! What skill! I can't believe how much I've ignored Zsuzsa because of Judit's "more" lauded reputation. Thanks to today's puzzle of the day, with its beautiful bishop sac (Zsuzsa Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984), I went looking for Zsuzsa's games and now I have a brand new respect for Big Sis. |
|
Mar-03-19 | | Patzer Natmas: Great game! I like the decoy and tempo moves shown in the game! |
|
Nov-15-23 | | Gaito:  click for larger view
White can deliver mate in four in two different ways. The prosaic way is 21.Ne4 Qxe7 22.Qxb8+ Be8 23.Qxe8+ Qxe8 24.Nf6 mate. The "shiny" way is 21.Qxb8!, etc.
Of course, whenever a player has a choice of two different mates in the same number of moves, they should pick out the more "shiny" way, i.e., the way that sacrifices more material. |
