|
| Feb-25-08 | | GoHabsGo: I enjoyed this game a lot! 32. ... ♗xe3 33. ♖xe3 ♖xf7 does black stand a chance? |
|
| Feb-25-08 | | whiteshark: 21...Bxc3 bxc3 Be4 makes the difference. |
|
| Sep-09-09 | | Whitehat1963: Gorgeous Wednesday puzzle after 32...Qxh3. |

 | | FSR: Wouldn't the simple 32.Be6 have left White up a whole rook, and threatening mate in one to boot? Doesn't Black just resign - 32...Bg7 33.Qg6? <GoHabsGo: I enjoyed this game a lot! 32. ...Bxe3 33.Rxe3 Rxf7 does black stand a chance?> I don't think so. After 34.Qg6, White mates Black off the board. |
|
| Feb-12-12 | | King Death: <FSR> Maybe the locals were running the bulls that day and distracted the players. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runnin...
This game at any rate was a whole lot more interesting for White than the usual Benkos are though Topalov got a ton of play. |
|
| Apr-10-12 | | Whitehat1963: 48...Kh4 49. Rg4+ Rxg4 50. Bxg4 Kxg4 51. a4 and the a-pawn queens. |
|
| Dec-21-12 | | dunican: @FSR: 32. Be6? Qg3+ with mate to follow |
|
| Dec-21-12 | | dunican: Also, in your line, what's the mate after 34.. Qf4? I can only see white one or two pawns up. |
|
| Oct-23-18 | | Saniyat24: 30.Bc4 was the critical move... |
|
| Oct-23-18 | | Saniyat24: ...and so was 32.R1e3...! |
|
| Oct-23-18 | | Saniyat24: ...and how cheeky was 41.b4...! |

| May-16-25 | | Walter Glattke: Looks like a szenarioo for the audience, stockfishly combination with a bishop more for white after 33.Qh7+ Kxh7 34. Be6+ Kg6 35.Bxh3 Bxe3 36.fxe3 Rf6 37.Kf2. How do they come to that thea´`tre position here? 32.-g4 33.Qg6!? Qxh3
34.Rxf3 gxf3 35.Qh7+ Kxh7 36.Be6+ Kg6 37.Bxh3 oh yeah, equal material! |

 | | takebackok: Kinda got a Friday, whites king in dire straits so only move 33. Qh7+ Kxh7 34. Be6+ Kg6 35. Bxh3 Bxe3 36. fxe3? h5 37. Re6+ Rf6 38. Kf2 g4 39. Rxf6+ Kxf6 40. Bf1 at best draw. Better and wining is 36. Rxe3! h5 37. Bd7 g4 38. Re6+ wins a pawn if 38...Rf6 39. Be8+ king moves 40. Rxf6 Kxf6 41. Bxh4 wining. No matter what the extra bishop will lock up the win. |
|
| May-16-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Since B threatened checkmate with 34... Qg2# without easy defense, W is forced into this line: 33. Qh7+ Kxh7 34. Be6+ Kg6 35. Bxh3, although care must be taken to win the game. EX: 35... Bxe3 36. Rxe3 h5 37. Re6+ Kg7 38. Rxb6 g4 39. Bf1. W will protect his Q-side ♙ and capture the K-side B♙, at the appropriate time. |
|
| May-16-25 | | Cecco: In the final position, after 48. ... Kh3, this engine suggests 49. Kf2, which seems like a big mistake because of 49. ... Rd2+ 50. Kxf3 Rxa2. Does anyone know if White can win? In any case, 49. Bxf3 keeps the pawn and should be winning. |
|
| May-16-25 | | erimiro1: No, it's not hard. 33. Qh7+ is forced. I agree that work is not finished yet and white has to get rid of the black pawns, but it has nothing to do with the tactic on the puzzle. |

 | | scormus: I wasn't sure I'd got this until I saw <mel's SF line> through as far as 36. Rxe3. I thought perhaps I'd missed something more decisive, but it seems there wasn't |

 | | al wazir: The first four or five plies are obvious. After that black has some alternatives, but white is a piece up and should win. |

 | | PawnSac: An epic battle indeed! I like the opening system, as it gives white some options dealing with blacks LSB. the FISH prefers 11.Bf1 keeping the E file clear for the rook, but it's doesn't amount to much since black will play Ba6 to trade them off.
In the game..
Ales Jedlicka vs Miroslav Jurka
Czech Extra League (2000/01), CZE, rd 7, Feb-25
Benko Gambit: Declined. Main Line (A57) · 1/2-1/2 ..black varied with 11...a5 (the sf choice).
Topalov's 11...e6 is a little more tactical than ..a5 but the sf eval is close to the same. <16.Re1> sf considered Re1, Rac1, but switched to b3 above 40 ply <18...f5?!> white's eval jumped half a pawn with this. SF prefers ..Nf4 although I must confess, that's not a move many humans would play, giving black doubled isolated pawns. Yet I can see possibilities with Kh8 clearing the g file for a rook. It looks like black can muster some pressure. After <21.g4> is where it starts to get a little dicey. |
|
| May-16-25 | | James J. Henderson: After 48...Kh3, White can simply play 49.Bxf3 and win. But <Cecco> asked about 48...Kh3 49.Kf2 Rd2+ 50.Kxf3 Rxa2.
