 | | Honza Cervenka: Rádo se stalo...:-) |
|
| Mar-17-03 | | corbinamman: Honza, please finish out the line that starting with 30...g5 that you judge hopeless for black. I don't see a convincing continuation after 33...Kxf8. |
|
Mar-18-03
| | Honza Cervenka: If 33...Kxf8, then simply 34.Qd8 mate.:-) |
|
Mar-18-03
| | Honza Cervenka: And of course the only alternative to 33...Kxf8 in that line is 33...Kh7. After that white can play 34.Qf5+ Rg6 35.Rxg7+ Qxg7 (35...Kxg7 36.Rf7+ Kh6 37.Qh3+ Kg5 38.Rf5# or 36...Kh8 37.Qc8+ Rg8 38.Qh3# or 36...Kg8 37.Qxg6+ with mate in next move.) 37.Rf7 etc. |
|
| Mar-18-03 | | KrokoKorchnoi: hey everyone! Qxh6 wins :)! |
|
| Mar-18-03 | | KrokoKorchnoi: there is also this 30.Qxh6 Rf6! (only defence) 31. Qh8+! Bxh8 32. Nh6# epaulet mate :) |
|
| Mar-19-03 | | corbinamman: thanks. (duh...) |

 | | waddayaplay: Kasparov mentions this game in the most recent NIC. "We were lucky in that Olympiad" he recalls....
|
|
| Jul-10-08 | | areknames: Honza, in your line 30.Qxh6 g5 31.Qxg5 Qxb2, it seems to me that 32.Nxh6+ can be met by ...Kh7! and black wins, as 33.Rxf8 is without check and a back rank mate follows. Maybe white should play 32.Qh5 instead? |
|
| Jul-10-08 | | hkannan2000: I have read in a chess magazine that the combination that Schneider missed was seen over the board by Tal himself and Kasparov who was on-looker. What a relief for them that Schneider did not slide into immortality through this game! |

click for larger viewYour suggestion 32.Qh5 can be met with 32...Rf6! (diagram) and black wins due to white's weak back rank.

| | Plaskett: Some 30 or so years later an opponent of IM (now GM) David Smerdon´s resigned.
Smerdon later checked… and found that the guy had committed "The ULTIMATE Blunder.
He too had such a Qxh6 move, with the white queen travelling up the c1-h6 diagonal.
The Encyclopedia of Chess Combinations, were it now to be updated, would have ONLY those TWO examples.
To the best of my knowledge... |

 | | FSR: The One That Got Away. |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | andrewjsacks: Well-titled, FSR. |
|

| | FSR: Lars was the hero of yesterday's GOTD, J Eising vs L Schneider, 1979. Sadly, he missed his chance in this one. |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | goodevans: Always sad to lose a game you should have won but sadder still if it would have been you biggest scalp ever. Got to feel for Lars here. |
|
Apr-02-22
| | FSR: <goodevans> Yes, that had to hurt. Knowing that you could have destroyed the great Tal with a queen sacrifice, in a game that would have been published around the world. Ouch. |
|

 | | perfidious: A game played in the thirteenth round, on the thirteenth day of the month; perhaps small wonder the outcome was ill-starred for the Swedish master. |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | Olavi: From sixteen years ago, Kasparov is cited that they were lucky. They won by six points, that is one and a half matches. He does quote some difficult positions in his The Test of Time (his best work). |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | goodevans: <perfidious> Triskaidekaphobia at it's finest! That day was even unluckier for Kim Duk-koo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_D... |
|
Apr-02-22
| | perfidious: <goodevans>, indeed it was. |
|
| Apr-02-22 | | Stefan Lukke: 30. g3? What a stinker compared to the almost completely obvious alternative 30. Qxh6! |
|
Apr-02-22
| | FSR: Wow. Kim Duk-koo's mother and the referee both killed themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_D... |
