| Dec-19-03 | | seoulmama: Well, I think one exclam is enuff. It is rather basic, really. The game is beautfiful in its whole. |
|
| Dec-30-03 | | Toobs: For some reason Seoulmama, I don't think you would have seen that combo. Not to discredit your skills, but it was pretty nice!! |
|
| Apr-06-04 | | seoulmama: With all do respect Toobs, I would have. |
|
| Apr-06-04 | | seoulmama: It is not a forced sequence of moves, but rather a well evaluated shot. |

| Jun-30-14 | | SpiritedReposte: Re6 would be easy to find in a guess the move puzzle, but to find it in the flow of the game, that is awesome. |

 | | plang: THIS GAME IS CLASSICAL - NOT RAPID.
Dreev had recent experience with this line having played two short draws with 11 Rd1 and then trying 11 d5 in a rapid game against Karpov. In that game he had played 14 Ng5 and had gone on to lose; 14 Bb5 was prepared afterwards. It should be noted that 12..Bxd5? 13 0-0-0 would have been asking for trouble. Black's game went downhill after 18..Bc8?; better would have been 18..Qc7 when after 19 Ng5..hxg 20 hxg..f5 21 gxf..Nxf6 22 Bxf6..Rxf6 23 Qh7+..Kf8 when White has nothing more than a perpetual. Franco thought Black would have had defensive resources after 19..f6!? 20 Qg6..Qc7 when Black's position is difficult but not lost; on the other hand 19..g6?! opening up the long diagonal was clearly hopeless. This game was voted the 4th best game of Informant 87. A few days after this game at the Russian Club Cup Dreev played 14 Bb5 again against Jakovenko who responded 14..Qc7 and White went on to win (game not included in this database). |

| Mar-08-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The king like unusual moves, like a suddenly: 20. Re6 (fxe6 21. Qxg6#). Can you imagine B facing it? Moves like: 20... Qc7 21. Rxg6+ fxg6 22. Qxg6+ Qg7 23. Qxg7#. For Kh7 21. Ng5+ hxg5 22. hxg5+ Nh2 23. g3 Qxg5 24. Rxh2+ Qh5 25. Rxh5+ Kg8 26. Rh8# or 22... Bh2 23. Qf5 gxf5 24. Rxh2+ Nxh2 25. Rh6+ Kg8 26. Rh8#. The most deffending move: 23... Bxe6 24. Rxh2+ Nxh2 25. Qe5 f6 26. Qxh2+ Kg7 27. Qh6+ Kf7 28. Qh7# Finally, 20... Bxe6 21. dxe6 Qe7 22. exf7+ Qxf7 23. Bd5| Qxd5 24. Qxg6#. But nest against 21... Qe7 seems to be 22. Bd5 Ne5 23. exf7+ Rxf7 24. Nxe5 Bxe5 25. Qxg6+ Kf8 26. Bxe5... etc. W has several resources, but I didn't explore all B replies, then maybe it can have some escape, although I don't believe it. Time to check out. |

| Mar-08-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Exploring the game line, obviously 26...Qxd5 27. Ne7+ Kf7 28. Nxd5. If 26... 26...Rbe8 27. Nxh6+ (Nxh6? 28. Qg6+ Kh8 29. Rxh6# or Bg7 29. Qxg7#). 27... Kg7 28. Bxe6 Rxe6 29. Nxg4 threatening 30. Qh7#. On the other hand, Nxh6 29. Bxe5+ Rf6 30. Rg5+ (Kh8 31. Bxf6#) Kf8 31. Bxf6 Rxe6 32. Qg6... and B will not survive for longer. Unhappily, the N at h6 avoids a mate I planned with (31. Bd6+ Re7 32. Rg8+?? Nxg8 LOL). Then 31. Bd6+ Re7 32. Qh7 Rxe6 33. Bxe7+ Rxe7 34. Qxh6+ and mate is near. Maybe, in this case, it is better: 30. Rxh6 (Rxe6 31. Qg6+ Kf8 32. Bxf6...) 30... Kxh6 31. Bxf6 Rxe6 32. Qf5 where the ♕+♗ is enought to give mate. |

 | | al wazir: 25...Rxf5 seems better than 25...Be5, the move played. Giving back the exchange is a small price for getting rid of the pesky ♘ and the threat of a royal fork. After 26. Qxf5 Qxf5+ 27. Rxf5 Bf8, white's attack is blunted. |

| Mar-08-24 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: <<al wazir> 25...Rxf5 seems better than 25...Be5, the move played> True about the preferred move: 25...Rxf5 postpones mate a bit comparing to 'surrenderous' 25...Be5, since first is mate-in-22, and the move actually played is mate-in-10 according to silicon. Yet in your idea after 25...Rxf5 white follows with the different move – 26.Rxf5

(and not 26.Qxf5??) maintaining the unbeatable positional advantage. But we ask for the best answer for black on 25th move, it is actually 25...Rf6

since black is left with substantial material that offers even more prolonged (eventhough still futile if white plays it out precisely) struggle. |

| Mar-08-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: <Autoreparaturwerkbau><Al Wazir> Please, let me say something: <25... Rxf5!> is very strong, since: Qe7 27. Bd5+ Kh7 28. Rf7+ Kg8 29. Qh7#. And that is the immediate threat anyway. On 26... Ne5 27. Qe4 keeping the threat of 28. Bd5 to win the ♕ and the ♘ is pinned and also threats 28. Bxe5 Bxe5 29. Rxe5. B cannot play Re8, so its in a bad shape too. For 26... Be5 27. Qe4 makes a pin and keep both threats, but includes also 28.Qxg4+. One possibility is 27... Nf6 28. Rxf6 Qxf6 29. Bxe5... and there is mate chances (29... Qf8 30. Qg6+) or win the ♕ 29... Qe7 30. Qg6+ Kf8 31. Bd6 or 29... Qd8 30. Qg6+ Kf8 31. Bd6+. |

| Mar-08-24 | | TheaN: I spotted the text two moves deep at least, <20.Re6! Bxe6> else Rxg6+, either immediately or later, and fxe6? Qxg6# <21.dxe6 f5> and here I wasn't sure about 22.Bd5 or h5. The latter seemed more stressing for Black, but I chose the more direct former. OTB I would have reconsidered, but <22.Bd5?! Qe7=> is sadly no cigar. <ARW: But we ask for the best answer for black on 25th move, it is actually 25...Rf6 > Black's just very busted on move 25, so Rxf5 is definitely the best practical try, as Qxf5? is still a draw. After 25....Rf6, simply 26.Bd5 still is a very simple +-. |
