Jan-14-13 | | Naniwazu: Amazing game! |
|
Jan-14-13 | | Jim Bartle: Castling queenside looks like sticking your head in the lion's mouth. Three black pieces bearing down and few defenders. |
|
Dec-27-14 | | TheBish: Really surprised this hasn't been a POTD yet for 27...? or even 14...?. |
|
Aug-18-15 | | Eusebius: What a pleasure to see this Tal playing |
|
Nov-29-17 | | orbisignis89: Magic Mikh |
|
Oct-02-18 | | Castleinthesky: To see regaining the bishop after the sac is amazing. Go Tal!!! |
|
Dec-11-21 | | Brenin: Entertaining game by the 20-year-old Tal, who came joint 3rd, behind Petrosian and Korchnoi, in this tournament. Excellent pun. |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: 13.0-0-0?? was a suicide. 13.f3 was a viable option. |
|
Dec-11-21
 | | WannaBe: Just one H-column away from a "Phony" Benoni. 🤷♂️🤣😁😜 |

 | | FSR: <Honza Cervenka: 13.0-0-0?? was a suicide. 13.f3 was a viable option.> Doesn't 13.f3 Qxb2 win a pawn? |
|
Dec-11-21
 | | al wazir: <FSR:Doesn't 13.f3 Qxb2 win a pawn?> 13. f3 Bxb2 14. Rd1 Bf5 15. Nxf5 gxf5 16. Bh6 Rd8 17. Qg5+. |
|
Dec-11-21 | | areknames: <al wazir> You probably mean 14.Rc1, as 14.Rd1 allows 14...Bc3. |
|
Dec-11-21 | | areknames: <Excellent pun> Especially in view of yesterday's pun! The selector may have a sense of humour. |

 | | HeMateMe: UpChuk... |
|
Dec-11-21
 | | HeMateMe: What was white thinking, castling into such a dangerous position? |
|
Dec-11-21 | | ndg2: White's long-side castling is like a help mate. |
|
Dec-11-21 | | AlicesKnight: The knight's charge starting with 13. ...Na6 is a wonderful piece of vision - not even bothering with the forked white R. At the end of it the White position is shattered and the final Q sac tops it off. |
|
Dec-11-21 | | goodevans: <FSR:Doesn't 13.f3 Qxb2 win a pawn?> As <areknames> points out, after 13.f3 Qxb2 White must play <14.Rc1> to prevent the lethal pin. Now Black has the option of retreating <14...Bf5> immediately or exchanging Qs first. It doesn't seem to matter which he chooses. If he retreats immediately then White will initiate the Q exchange. Either way White then exchanges <16.Nxf5> after which the pawn on f5 can't be defended so White will regain his pawn and his two Bs will be fabulously placed. |
|
Dec-11-21
 | | Honza Cervenka: <FSR><Doesn't 13.f3 Qxb2 win a pawn?> 13.f3 Qxb2 14.Rc1 is fine for white. After Bf5 (played now or after trade of Queens) white takes the Bishop with Knight and any weak Pawn of black will fall soon. |
|
Dec-11-21
 | | Honza Cervenka: Btw, 13.f3 is still theory. After 13...Qxb2 14.Rc1 Qxd2+ 15.Kxd2 Yurtaev was trying sac 15...Bxd5 in 1980s. See Opening Explorer |

 | | Teyss: <WannaBe: Just one H-column away from a "Phony" Benoni.> After long pondering I finally got it: all the Black Knight moves = Pony. Excellent, another meta-pun well timed after yesterday. To follow the thread, tomorrow let's have a blitz game where a key move is a Knight on the h column. We'll let our friend PB submit the pun "Pony Express", that will top it off nicely. Good game. I like the old days when they continued playing 2 Ps down in an inferior position. |
|
Dec-11-21 | | JohnBoy: 14...Nb4 starts a cute sequence winning two pawns. The ending anticipates Sagalchik vs Nakamura, 2003 |
|
Dec-11-21 | | Stanco: you don't see the tide rolls in, you should know that |
|
Dec-11-21 | | Stanco: Truly great pun.
13...Na6
14...Nb4
15...Nxa2+
16...Nc3+
17...Nxe4
18...Ng5
19...Nxf3
