| May-17-07 | | Plato: GM Sergey Ivanov's commentary:
"It’s impossible to describe this fabulous in its tension encounter in a few words, an article can be written about it. Something incredible started happening on board starting from the White’s 15th move 15.Bf6!: there was one blow after another (mixed up with counterblows) for the next thirteen moves – amazing, pieces were flying over the board as if they had wings, and the opponents clinched like two boxers, it seemed that in a moment they will “see stars”… When the smoke lifted there was a prosaic ending with bishops of opposite colors and two extra pawns for White on board. However forty-move converting stage followed, but there was no single moment, when there were doubts that Alexander Motylev will have the most outstanding victory in his career. In my opinion, the mentioned 13-move piece will become history of chess art" |

|
| Feb-13-08 | | Eyal: <Alphastar: Doesn't 55. ..Rf2 draw?> Apparently not - 55...Rf2 56.Ra5+ followed by 57.Rf5. |
|
| Mar-06-08 | | computer chess guy: Very complex to analyze. 18. Ncxb5 does look best, but possibly not winning by itself. Computers suggest 19 .. Qd7 as another possible defense. As noted earlier, Black could also have tried 20 .. Nf5, after which I think 21. c4 is still best: one line goes 21. c4 Nd6 22. cxd5 Nxb5 23. dxc6 Bc5 24. Rfe1 Nd4, where Black is down material but better off than after 20 .. Qb7, I think. |
|
| May-19-14 | | Conrad93: 18. exf7 is best. The variation Motylev played loses after 20. Nf5! c4 21. Nd6! cxd5 22. Nxb5 dxc6 23. Nd6! 1.08 for black.
After 18. exf7! black stands much worse. |
|
| May-19-14 | | Conrad93: 23. Bc5 might be better. |
|
| Jun-26-15 | | Conrad93: <nice game, maybe some day GOTD?> I agree with you 100%. This is long overdue for a GOTD. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Played over every single move of this game--and have no idea what just happened. |
|
| Jan-12-20 | | Jambow: Not sure of every step in this rumba but it was a nice dance to behold. <An Englishman> I think we just had a lesson in the incremental methodical advancement of two pawns that can't both be contained because the king and pieces are simply over worked because of the distance between them. Sounds easy enough but the execution is a bit harder to do I'm sure. I think some concepts can be gleaned from this game but I will have to examine this slowly and carefully myself. |
|
| Jan-12-20 | | Jambow: On second thought <An Englishman> I'm sure the middle game is probably what you had in mind... |

 | | OhioChessFan: 20...Nf5 has to be better. |

| | OhioChessFan: Just saw <sucaba's> 20...Nf5 line. 26...Qxc2 looks much better.

I won't pretend to know what the best play is, but 20...Nf5 just has to be better than the game. |

 | | eternaloptimist: <An Englishman, FSR>. Lol 😃 indeed it is a very confusing game. I understand some of it but I don’t understand a lot of it. Games between Russian super GMs definitely aren’t amongst the easiest games in the world to understand. Both of these guys are still active in tournaments. |

 | | Check It Out: The middle game like a molotov cocktail was explosive and fiery, then the endgame, also like a molotov, burned slowly to a finish. Nice game, good pun. |
|
| Jan-12-20 | | RandomVisitor: After 19.Nxb5 perhaps black can try 19...Nf5 and aim to return some material, perhaps even castle
