Nov-28-05		Richard Taylor: I forgot again that of course after 25 ...Qa1+ 26. Kd2 Qxb1 wins. Lol.

Nov-28-05		Richard Taylor: However!! 22. Rxh7 Kxh7 23. Qh3+ Kg8 24. f6 Bxb3 25. Qxb3 is not so clear - this is all academic of course... also after 22. Rxh7 kx Q checks etc then fxe6 maybe possibe -in the light of Shredders Rc8 Velmirovic's "first" move 22. fxe6 is best -in fact it is fairly logical and quite a beautiful sequence -but it's intersting to try out other attacks to see how far one can get in attack and defence in this type of position.

Nov-28-05		Averageguy: Lol, my namesake got completely owned! He must have studied my games ;-)

Dec-02-05		LIFE Master AJ: After getting an e-mail about this game, I took a few minutes and looked at the following line: 22.Rxh7?!, Really an inferior move. (Maybe - '?') 22...Kxh7; 23.f6? Bxb3; 24.cxb3 Rc8+; 25.Kb1 Bf8; 26.h4 Qc7; 27.Qe2 Bc5; " " Fritz 8.0 ... after about 10 minutes ... has Black winning by some 7-10 points. (The 'evals' keep fluctuating.)

Dec-02-05		patzer2: White's 22. fxe6! and 23. Qh3! prepare the demolition of pawn structure combination 24. Rxh7!! to decisively exploit the weak Black King position.

Dec-03-05		LIFE Master AJ: <patzer2> I could not agree ... more.

Jun-06-21		An Englishman: Good Evening: Completely flubbed this one (no surprise), so 6/7 for the week. The real surprise--Fridjonsson let Velimirovic play the Velimirovic. If Mr. V. had ever played White against me, and I could only choose his variation or the Damiano Defense--would play 1...e5 and 2...f6 without a second thought. I'm no masochist.

Jun-06-21		mel gibson: I got that wrong. I thought 21 Q-h3. (which is a score of -1.0 for Black so still winning for White but not great) Stockfish 13 says 21. f5 (21. f5 (f4-f5 ♖b8-b7 ♘a4-b6 ♘d7-f8 f5-f6 ♖a8-e8 f6xe7 ♖b7xe7 ♗d4-c5 ♖e7-b7 ♖h4xb4 ♗c6-b5 a2-a3 ♖e8-b8 ♘b6-a4 ♗b5-c6 ♖b4xb7 ♖b8xb7 ♗c5-b6 ♕a5-b5 ♗b6-d4 ♖b7-b8 ♘a4-c5 ♕b5-a5 h2-h4 ♘f8-d7 ♘c5xd7 ♗c6xd7 h4-h5 ♕a5-c7 ♖g1-h1 ♖b8xb3 ♕e3xb3 ♗d7-b5 h5xg6 f7xg6 ♔c1-b1 ♕c7-f7 ♕b3-h3 ♗b5-e2 b2-b3 a6-a5 ♔b1-b2 ♗e2-h5 ♖h1-f1 ♕f7-e7) +7.21/41 475) score for White +7.21 depth 41.

Jun-06-21		Walter Glattke: Betray play with " constellation U" and "play Ii" in my internet boom, once I had a homepage for that. First 0-0-0/Bd3/Be3/Qd2/Rg1/Rh1, then f3-g4-h4-Bg7 and at last Qh6-Qxh7/Qh8 - black, so the "books" has to play "waiting moves" g6/Nf6/ Bg7 and then Qa5- Rfc8-Bd7 and is always too late, and the alcoholic has easy win play. A typical final attack is shown here with 21.Rxh7 Kxh7 22.Qh3+ Kg8 (22.-Kg7? 23. Qh6+ one move more for white) 23.Rg3 Bxa4 24.Rh3 f6 25.exf6 Kf7 26.Qh7 +Ke8 27.Qxe7# This is no real chess, only para chess for the illusion, that alcoholics are with high IQ.!!

Jun-06-21		Brenin: I missed this one. I kept trying to make the "obvious" 21 Rxh7 work, but the consensus from 2005 seems to be that it is too slow, and Black's Q-side counter-attack wins. White has to play f5 and then exchange on e6 first, so that after Rxh7 and Qh3 he has Qxe6, changing the direction of the attack. A good Sunday puzzle, with a nice "red herring" to tempt the unwary away from the best line.

Jun-06-21		agb2002: Black threatens Bxa4. The knight is lost so White must focus on the black castle. Since 21.Qh3 is met with 21... Nf8 and 21.Rxh7 Kxh7 22.Qh3+ Kg8 seems to go nowhere, the only reasonable option is 21.f5 and hope the best.

Jun-06-21		Messiah: Terrible!

Jun-06-21		Refused: Typical sic. position with kings located on different sides of the board. It's just a question of break through first. 21.f5! is the move white wants to play. point is a) 21...exf5 22.e6 and white has succeded to break through 22...fxe6 23.Qxe6+ Kf8 24.Rxh7 curtains or 22...Nf8 23.exf7 Kxf7 24.Qe5 +- point is, the black king ends up in the crossfire of the entire white army. b) 21...gxf5 22.Rxh7 is just grim. 22...Kxh7 23.Qh3+ Kg8 24.g6 +- 21...Nf8 22.g6! +- c) 21...Bxa4 22.fxe6 fxe6 (23.exf7+ with Rxh7 looming is not desirable) 23.Qh3! Nf8 24.Rxh7 Nxh7 25.Qxe6+ Kf8 26.Rf1+ Ke8 27.Rf7 +- White has again broken through the defense and it's resignable

Jun-06-21		Walter Glattke: Just see, the white h-line attack can be stopped by (21.Rxh7 Kxh7 22. Qh3+ Kg8) 23. Rg3 Bf8 24.Qh4 Bg7 in the typical betray the bishop can be changed with (Qd2- Be3) Bh6/Bxg7/Kxg7/Qh6+ 21.f5 then wins.
