| Apr-23-19 | | Skewbrow: The first thing I spotted is that 34. Nf5 gives an imposing mate threat, and defending it with gxf5 exposes the black queen. The second thing I noticed was the zwischenzug 34..Qb5+ saving the queen. Then it took a while to see that 35.(king move)gxf5 36.gxf5+ still leads to a quick mate. Ho-hum. Typical, I guess. |

| Apr-23-19 | | Walter Glattke: 34.Nxf7? Rxf7 is no option. 34.Nf5 gxf5 (or Qg7#) 35.QxQ wins. Prolonguation, e.g 34.-Rd1+ 35.Rxd1 Qb5+ 36.Kg1 gxf5 37.gxf5+ Ng6 38.Rxg6# "Butcher's Party", Thanksgiving for slautering with 37.-gxf5 38.gxf5+ Qg6 39.fxg6 fxg6 40.Rxg6+ Kf7 41.Ra7+ Rd7 42.Qxh7+ Ke8 43.Qxd7# |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | Walter Glattke: Corr: 34.Nf5 gxf5 35.gxf5+ Qg6 36.fxg6 and so on, wrong move no above. |

 | | agb2002: White has a pawn for a knight.
The rook on g3 x-rays the black king. Therefore, 34.Nf5: A) 34... gxf5 35.gxf5+ Qg6 36.fxg6 wins.
B) 34... Qb5+ 35.Kg1 gxf5 36.gxf5+ and mate next. |

| Apr-23-19 | | saturn2: I saw 34. Nf5 gxf5 35. gxf5+ Ng5 36. Rxg5+ Qg6 37. fxg6 |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | malt: Have 34.Nf5 gf5 35.gf5+ Qg6 36.fg6 wins
Black should have played 33...R:d6 |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | whiteshark: 34.Nf5!, and that's it. |
|

 | | perfidious: Killtown, delivered in Sensurround. |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | stacase: Yup! Threaten mate and the only defense Black has is to expose his Queen so GAME OVER! |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | ChessHigherCat: 34. Nf5 gxf5 35. gxf5+ (dumb computer moves:) Ng5 36. Rxg5+ Qg3 36. fxg3 Rd1+ 37. Rxd1 fxg6 38. Qxf6 Kh8 39. Rh6# phew! |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | zb2cr: 34. Nf5 sets Black the the choice of which to lose: the King or the Queen. |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | gars: I quote from page 157 of Vasiliev's "Tigran Petrosian his life and games": "Petrosian became a regulr guest at the Moscow pioneer palace. He never refused to appear before young chess-players and followed the chess developments of the most gifted ones. He was most taken by Seriozha Makarichev, 'Makarchik', as he called him. Even now (1974)Petrosian follows 'Makarchik', analyzes with him and helps him wth advice." Well, what was made of Makarichev? Did he climb higher steps in Chess? |

 | | keypusher: Was briefly led astray by 34.Nxf7, but then Nf5 opening the g-file just jumped out. |
|
Apr-23-19
| | perfidious: <gars>, Makarichev became a GM. |
|
| Apr-23-19 | | Momentum Man: After Nf5, If ...gxf Black will lose the big exchange |
|
Apr-23-19
 | | gawain: I solved this one quickly. 34 Nf5 leaped out at me--and it is easy to see that taking the knight is fatal because of the discovered check. Pleasing. |

| Apr-23-19 | | Nullifidian: I saw 34. ♘f5 with the threat of 35. ♕g7# immediately and Black has no good moves. There's an attractive epaulette mate if Black plays this sequence of moves: 34. ♘f5 ♙gxf5 35. ♙gxf5+ ♕g6 36. ♙fxg6 ♘f6 37. ♙gxf7+ ♔xf7 38. ♕xf6+ ♔e8 39. ♕e6#
