Jul-01-07 | | Manic: A nice exchange sac at move 11. The last move, 32...Kg7!, is a quiet way to finish the game off. |
|
Jul-01-07 | | Timex: White played around with his king too much, so he got pushed up the board, |
|
Aug-09-07 | | ChessDude33: The position after 15...Qc6 looks just so dominating for black. My god what a devastating exchange sacrifice. |

 | | tamar: 19...Rd5 is a fantastic in between move, because 19...Rh5 immediately does not work with the knight on c2 guarding e3. But by first luring the knight to d4, the 20...Rh5 21...Nd5 sequence now cannot be answered by 21 g4 22 Bg3 because the knight will hop to e3 attacking queen and setting up mate on g2

 | | perfidious: While I'm not familiar with a lot of Dorfman's games, this surely is his Immortal Game. A beautiful effort by the Russo-French grandmaster. |

 | | Fusilli: What a beauty. Probably one of those games that was never GOTD because no one came up with a clever pun. |
|
Jul-26-15 | | SpiritedReposte: 23. ...Bc8!! Safe to say that would be a tough move for me to spot. Couldn't even understand why at first because Whites queen can capture the knight anyway...and then Black plays ...Be5! and it's a wrap. |

Aug-18-16 | | joddle: 33. Qd7 Qxg4+ 34. Qxg4 Be7# is quite a nice finish. |
|
May-10-17 | | Delboy: I agree that this is a classic that deserves far more exposure and GOTD status. There is also an insane puzzle here somewhere, maybe after 22. Qb3. For example, did Dorfman at that stage already see that 32. Kxe5 loses white's rook after 32. ... Qxh2+ 33. Kf6 Qf2+ (or 33. ... Qd2+ for other king moves) |

 | | Teyss: What a beauty. Love the final quiet move 32...Kg7. At the end if 33.Qd7 to prevent Be7#, 33...Be7+! 34.Qxe7 Qxg4# Earlier if 32.Kxe5 Qxh2+ and depending on where the WK goes, 33... Qd2+ or Qf2+ followed by 34...Qxe1. |

Apr-25-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The king's first idea is: 26...Ng2+ (27. Kf2 e3+ 28. Kg1 Nf4 and mate next). 27. Kd2 Qh6+ 28. Kd1 Nxe1 29. Kxe1 Qxh2 30. Kd2 exf3... and W is in a very complicated position: (a)31. Nxf3 Qxe2+ 32. Kc1 Rd5 and mate near, (b) 31. Rf1 Rxe2+ 32. Nxe2 Qxe2+ 33. Kc1 Qxf1+ 34. Kc2 Qe2+ 35. Kb3 f2... (c) 32. Kc1 Qf4+ 33. Kb1 Qe4+ 34. Kc1 Qe3+ 35. Kb1 Qd3+ 36. Kc1 Qd2+ 37. Kb1 Qxb2# or 35. Kb1 Qd3+ 36. Ka1 Re8 (d) 28. Kc2 Ne3+ 29. Kd2 Nc4+ 30. Kc2 Qd2+ 31. Kb3, now: (Qxb2+ 32. Ka4 Ra5# ) 32. Kxc4 d5#! Beautiful check-mate! |
