| Mar-28-11 | | picard: 15. exd5 looks interesting too |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | KingV93: Fantastic game. Very interesting way to play the Kings Indian. I'll bet White was fairly anxious for the post mortem thinking 'where did I go wrong?' |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | joupajou: <Whiterook48> Persson is a GM from Sweden who plays "some of the wildest chess on the planet". <Pennypacker> When I saw 16. ..Bf5 my jaw hit the floor. Persson clearly had a vision, saw something from a distance, and he consistently worked to get there. E.g. WN in A8: there was no hurry capturing it, because it had nowhere to go. Very entertaining game! |

| Mar-28-11 | | newzild: More desperado combinations than you could shake a stick at. |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | ossipossi: Heavy-duty brain by Persson, I must say. Strategically speaking, <9.b4> is critical, without being a blunder, as far as it open the way to BSB. White then begins a manouvre on QS that leaves him exposed to deadly black moves, not least <18. .. e4>. And please don't tell me about Rybka saying "White it's OK", or I'll switch to Cluedo. |

| Mar-28-11 | | joupajou: This is the position after 20. ..Qxa3.

| Mar-28-11 | | Gilmoy: <flamboyant: As Denis pointed out, it is probably the first time in chess history that a player actually put 2 of his pieces in a fork: 16..Bf5 17..Nd5> To put <both> pieces into a pawn fork is rare, but not that rare. IIRC, we just saw that at Amber this month: canonical Nd5 vs. a Sicilian Najdorf(?), Black declined, Nf5 <have your pick> exf5. (Maybe Amber doesn't count because it's non-classical.) Here's one, a Sicilian Velimirovic: Fedorov vs Z Lanka, 1997 (PotD 2008/11/09), a (not-so-)canonical <13.Nf5 b5 14.Bd5>: 
click for larger viewSame theme of overworking e6. I guess in Rg1 positions, White's deeper motive is to deflect g half-open. Black flipped the principle <can capture only one> to its contrapositive <you're not both getting away>, and ignored both pieces until <19.Nxg7> one of them got away, then promptly <19..Bxd5> cashed the other. To put only <the 2nd> piece into a pawn fork (i.e. to ignore a pawn thrust and leave the 1st piece there) is rare-but-been-done, on the principle that you're sacking one piece regardless, and the pawn can't get them both. L Mista vs J Fichtl, 1974 (PotD 2007/04/01), after <15..g5 19.Nf4>: 
click for larger viewIt's not a true fork, because the pawn is pinned, so the Nf4 isn't really in danger. Black never does get the B, either. |

That indeed seems to be the critical position. Up until this point I was convinced white was winning, being the exchange up and with two connected pawns on the 6th rank. But he has the joint threats of <21 ... exf3> and <21 ... Qxf1> to contend with. His chosen response, <21 Nh4>, didn't look good to me. As you say, <21 d7>, is worthy of consideration. Black might then try <21 ... exf3> in the hope of 22 d8=Q? Nxe2+ 23 Kh1 fxg2+ 24 Kxg2 Qh3+ 25 Kh1 Qf3#, but simply <22 Bxf3> should be good enough for white. |

| Mar-28-11 | | sevenseaman: Sublime, fluid chess from Hillarp from 23.. Qxc1 onwards. |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | TuxedoKnight: this game reminds me to http://tuxedoknight.uphero.com/lege... heheehe |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | kevin86: If white interposes,he loses a rook by fork;if he moves the king,the penalty will be immediate mate! |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | chessaddict25: come on....isn't there anything better than 23Be6?..... |

 | | Penguincw: Nice mating net. |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | Sho: White pawn forks black knight and bishop.
Such forks are common. But this is the first time I have seen the forked player move his pieces INTO the fork. (I just think that's cool.) |
|
| Mar-28-11 | | waustad: I believe Tal once pointed out that the opponent can only take one piece at a time. This one was fun. |

| Jan-16-13 | | master of defence: What´s wrong with the simple 17.exf5? If 17...e4 18.Rb1 Nbd5 19.Nd2 and so what? |

<the simple 17.exf5? If 17...e4 >
<18.Rb1 Nbd5 19.Nd2 and so what?> 19.Nd2? would be a mistake in your variation because of 19...Nc3. Play might continue: 20.Qc2 Nfxe2+ 21.Kh1 (only move) 21...Nxb1 22.Rxb1 Nd4 23.Qxe4 Qxe8  |

| Jun-28-14 | | Lonnie Lurko: Putting your own pieces into a fork:
try Miles vs Nunn, 1976http://streathambrixtonchess.blogsp... |
|
| Sep-03-14 | | SpiritedReposte: This game goes from insane complications in the middlegame to a crystal clear picture of harmony in the ending (at least for Black). The KID amazes. |
|
| Nov-12-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: This game disputes my recent conclusion that simple, highly positional Chess is superior in terms of correctness and strength, to combinatorial play.# |

 | | perfidious: <tranquilsimplicity> Both styles have their adherents; while I do not propose to advocate the superiority of one over the other, the great master must be well versed in both and able to utilise them as needed. |
|
| Nov-12-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: <Perfidious> Thanks for that. I can now comfortably revel in my preferred style; combinatorial play. I tend to do better in dynamic play.# |
|
| Apr-12-19 | | Imran Iskandar: Goodness me, can't believe what I've just played through. |
