 | | Oginschile: What a problem finish. Great tactical vision by Tseshkovsky |
|
| Sep-09-09 | | WhiteRook48: should be 0-1, not 1-0 |
|
| Feb-15-11 | | Cardinal Fang: Thanks CG for fixing the result of this one so quickly. |

 | | GrahamClayton: <Phony Benoni>The finish is lovely, featuring two consecutive discovered checks by his king. <Phony Benoni>,
An amazing finish - I can't think of another game with two consecutive discovered checks uncovered by the King. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Beautiful finish, almost like a composed problem. |
|
| Sep-22-15 | | Abdel Irada: <An Englishman: Good Evening: Beautiful finish, almost like a composed problem.> Exactly my impression of it. Might make a good POTD; for which day would depend on which move it started on. (If it's move 48, for example, it could even be a Sunday puzzle.) ∞ |
|
| Sep-22-15 | | nalinw: Yes - and therefore a GREAT pun - if one can call this a pun. By the way I can't think of another game with even one discovered check resulting from a King move. |
|
| Sep-22-15 | | ColdSnowman: Not a very skilled chess player, so I'm sure there is a reason, but why move 41 Qxc5 and not Rxf6? |

 | | beatgiant: <ColdSnowman>
On 41. Rxf6 <Ng4+> 42. Kg1 Nxe3 43. Rd6 Nxg2 44. Kxg2 Kf8 etc. and Black will soon pick up the d-pawn and end up a pawn ahead in the endgame. |

Thanks |

| Sep-22-15 | | The HeavenSmile: black had an absolute monster knight in that game. causing white all kinds of queen-side problems during the mid-game, pulling some defensive duty on move 45 before finally delivering a check sacrifice that leads to mate in 1! good stuff |
|
| Sep-22-15 | | kevin86: The mate here looks like the mate in the problem...the queen mates on the file. |

 | | Once: What vision! Very impressive. It is the sort of finish that should have both players chortling. Unique? I've never seen anything quite like it. |
|
| Sep-22-15 | | thegoodanarchist: White is forced into a "helpmate" because his only move after 55...Ng5+ is 56.hxg5, which will be answered by 56...Qh8# |
|
| Sep-23-15 | | Abdel Irada: <Unique? I've never seen anything quite like it.> By an interesting coincidence, that's what "unique" means. :-D ∞ |

 | | Alex Schindler: @nalinw
Lasker has an extremely famous miniature where he delivered checkmate by discovered check moving his king for the first time - Kd2# is a very strange bit of notation. That said, he had the option of an even cooler finish, an unheard of (to my knowledge) 0-0-0#. Not only is that how the miniature ends, but that move - his nineteenth, I believe - was the culmination of a remarkable combination that began with a queen sac on h7 on move 11. He sacrificed the queen on move eleven recognizing that the king on g8 was to be mated on the first rank by a discovered check! |

| | Alex Schindler: This one
Ed. Lasker vs G A Thomas, 1912
It was the eighteenth move (duh, the king was chased through seven ranks to mate. I dunno why I thought 19).Phony benoni posted some more beautiful ones such as this one Prins vs L Day, 1968 |

 | | OhioChessFan: Great game, great pun. I'm having a look at some of Tseshkovsky's games and he had some serious talent. |
|
| Oct-06-18 | | newzild: Added to my collection Game Collection: The Best Games You've Never Heard Of on account of the unique mating combo. |

White now plays 50.g6.
It is incredible that the Black king now strolls from g7 to f2 in just 5 moves. It reminds me of Barium dripping through an intestine. |

 | | perfidious: Black's king winds up where he belongs: at the head of his troops. Lovely stuff. |
|
| Sep-09-21 | | LoveThatJoker: "53...? Black to Play and Win" would make for a good Wednesday/Thursday puzzle. LTJ |

 | | 0ZeR0: Very impressive conception and vision in this endgame by black. |
|
| Nov-18-21 | | ndg2: <offramp><..reminds me of Barium dripping through an intestine.>As a former chemist I like this analogy! |
|
| Apr-09-22 | | syracrophy: The sequence of the last three moves belongs to the highest list of weird: two discovered checks by the King (!) and the sac of the last piece for a Queen mate with the aid of the King. Jewel! |
