| Feb-06-05 | | schnarre: Other players try out 22. Nd6? |
|
Aug-04-05
 | | LIFE Master AJ: I have a web page on this game, (see my earlier posts). 22.Nd6 was originally a suggestion of one of the chess journalists at the tournament, however, he may have gotten it from one of the players during the analysis after the game. (post-mortem) In his e-mail to me, Malakhov calls 22.b4 an error, but the computer does not really back him up on this. (Fritz - after 10 minutes - offers 22.Qe1, and awards White a fairly large advantage. BUT!!! ... ... ... I should point out that there is a big difference between a large edge and a completely won game.) |

(Black's first name is "Andrey," and he is a GM. For more info, see - http://www.chesslive.de/searchplaye...) Of special note is White's 24th move. ("!?" or '!!!' I give the full game here, as of today, I don't think this website has a page on this game yet.) If you are curious, and would like to download this game in your favorite format, (CB, PGN, whatever); see the "The Week In Chess" web page. (http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twi...) |

| | LIFE Master AJ: <cade> This game ... or the one I quoted? |
|
| Sep-28-05 | | Koster: <cade> The N on a5 didn't help much either. I could sense trouble coming as soon as he played it - probably because I've lost enough KID's as white from going for too much on the Q side. |

| Jan-11-06 | | Spohn: <Life Master AJ> How did you get such great connections in the chess world? |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | SickedChess: <Spohn> If you meet a strong player in ICC and you are polite and charming you can share e-mails with him/her. Just try your best!
TIP: try first with female chessplayers like WIM and WGM ;) later with IM and GM, some girls are more friendly and not quite busy.

Respect, also, that for many, chess is a living. They may be on for lessons, simuls, etc. and you might have caught them at a wrong time. ICC, for them, is their office. |

|
| Feb-13-09 | | KERESOV: Such subtle and artistic play by the talented Russian ... I think he's the modern day Rubinstein ... the Artist of the Chessboard ! |
|
| Nov-21-10 | | sevenseaman: Sublime and thought provoking! Stresses upon the immense value of a pawn. |

 | | ToTheDeath: Fantastic game and an artistic highly memorable finish. |
|
| Dec-12-19 | | Triebe: Very clever. |
|
| Jul-18-21 | | Gaito: 28.Bc4?? was a terrible oversight. He did not see the coming sacrifice (28...Nf3!!) |
|
| Jul-18-21 | | Gaito: Stockfish 14 suggests 28.h3 with equality (evaluation -0.42). After 28.Bc4?? the computer evaluation drops down to -5.76.

On 28.h3 Black's knight sacrifice would be unsound, e.g. 28...Nf3?? 29.Qc3! (+ −) |

 | | plang: 12..Qb6 was an unusual move that had only been played a few times before; 12..Bh6 and 12..c5 are the two most popular choices. In Ruban-Nijboer Groningen 1993 White had played 13 Rc1 and Black had gone on to win; here White tried 13 dxc. In a little known game Tosic-I.Sokolv Yugoslavia 1991 Black had played 16..Ra7; 16..Rad8 was new. 17..Nxe4?! was based on a miscalculation; Black would have been fine after 17..Be6. Black had intended 19..Be6? but then realized that after 20 Nd5!..Qxa5 21 Nxe7+..Kh8 22 Nxc6..Rxd5 23 Nxa5 he would be in a lost endgame; instead he chose to sacrifice the exchange with 19..Nf5!?. 22 Nd6! would have been very strong. White's delay in playing Bc4 helped fuel Black's counterplay; by the time he did play it Black had a winning attack. A very beautiful game - voted the 4th best game in Informant 90 (I would have voted it higher). |
