Sep-20-06  Confuse: wow dangerous playing style by white, very fun game to watch! =)
Sep-20-06  prinsallan: Very nice ending.
Both players threatens mate, but white gets to it first.
Sep-20-06  Sularus: black and i didn't see that coming.
Sep-20-06  think: I guess white is planning

31...fxe6 32. Qxe6+ Qe7 33. Qxe7+ Kxe7 34. bxa3, which leaves him 4 pawns up for the exchange.

In this line, note that 32. ... Qe7 leaves the Rook on c8 undefended, so White continues 33. Qxc8+. A possible further continuation runs as follows: 33. ... Kf7 34.Rf4+ Kg7 35.Qxf8+ Qxf8 36.h6+ Kg8 37.h7+ Kg7 38.Rxf8 Kxh7 39.bxa3

  kevin86: After:31..fxe6 32 ♕xe6+ and black has the grim choice of 32...♕e7 33 ♕xc8+ winning quickly Or 32... ♔d8 33 ♖d4+ and mate next move.

White gets in there "firstest with the mostest"

  patzer2: In the opening, I think
Black should consider 6...Bxg5 = as in Y Vovk vs M Narciso-Dublan, 2006 as a better try for equality.

  patzer2: After 19...Qc5? (better was 19...a5 ), White seems to dominate the dark squares after 20. Nbd2! .

A game with more sacrifices to the square inch than most Muzio Gambits. I've read that many improvements have been found for both sides--but, hey, sometimes there's more to chess than mere truth.
