Feb-12-04 | | Suenteus Po: Ouch. 35...Ka6 and 36.Nb4+ loses the game winning pawn for black. That's got to hurt. |

 | | Sneaky: This is one crazy varation. 10.♕f3 looks very strong, but it has been analyzed to a draw, see Euwe vs Alekhine, 1936 |
|
Feb-12-04 | | kevin86: What kind of gambit is 8...♗xe4 ? I have never seen it before. It looks effective as black gains 3 pawns for the piece and exposes white's king. It does look reckless,however. The closing combination is fine indeed,as white nets black's impudent pawn at the pass. |

Feb-12-04 | | refutor: <kevin86>...it's quite a popular line actually Shirov vs Bareev, 1991
Kramnik vs Lautier, 1993
Kramnik vs Ivanchuk, 1994
Karpov vs Hjartarson, 1988
Shirov vs Hector, 1991
i could go on and on...the site stops showing "games like this" at move 16 for this line |

Feb-12-04 | | Catfriend: Why doesn't black exchange queens most of the game? |
|
Oct-28-04 | | Ernesto7: black is down a piece .... he needs his queen |
|
Nov-07-05 | | The Backward Pawn: apparently it hasn't worked out too well for black, at least in these games. |
|
Nov-07-05 | | blackjacki2: Did black lose the game because he went for the win instead of the draw? |
|
May-15-07 | | iccsumant: What if black hadn't taken the pawn on a4 on move 27? He simply takes the bishop and I think black is winning |
|
May-15-07 | | erasmusdurer: A very nice game. To paraphrase Steinitz, sometimes your king likes to take a walk. I don't think I would have the nerve to do this in a tournament game, however. |
|
May-15-07 | | TheHurricane3: Loek missed mate in four and Javier missed a draw. 33... Nb4+! draws. And Nxe6! is mate in three. 33. Nxe6! Kb7 only move 34. Nc5+ Kb6 35. Rb8+ Ka5 and next move is mate Pc4 |
|
May-15-07 | | achieve: <TheHurricane3> 33. Nxe6?? There is a fork on f5 Loek's line was good I think. |
|
May-15-07 | | kevin86: A very fun game to play! Black offers a piece early,then comes close to promoting to a queen later,but the king could not live through his troubles-or rather the poor pawn doesn't. |
|
May-15-07 | | Kruglov: <achieve>: Certainly, <TheHurricane3>'s line starts on move 34, so Nxe6+ is a discovered check, and 36.Rb8+ is possible. |
|
May-15-07 | | achieve: <Kruglov: <achieve>: Certainly, <TheHurricane3>'s line starts on move 34, so Nxe6+ is a discovered check, and 36.Rb8+ is possible.> You're right <Kruglov> Nice finish by pawn b4 there. I didn't look behind my nose's length I guess..
Thanks for clearing that up! |
|
May-15-07 | | backyard pawn: Whew! <TheHurricane3> you are clever to have found that forced mate. |
|
Mar-04-17 | | Saniyat24: What an action packed game....! |
