Kibitzer's Corner
May-11-09  Takya Kotov: Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome back to the King's Gambit. This game will either want you to go out and play it today or avoid it like the plague. I'm too old to care about my rating nowadays, so I'm going to give it a go!
May-19-09  arsen387: This spectacular King's Gambit game is among the best games played in April according to Chesspro.ru. Great long term Q sac for a strong attack
May-19-09  khursh: This queen sac is insane. The more I see such games the more I love chess. The # 1 is indeed Fischer's famous queen sac. Is there any game collection on such type games?
Jul-16-09  totololo: This game makes you happy to play chess!
Gabrelian is a player to follow.... with good support he can go way up

  louispaulsen88888888: It should be 30 Kc2, not 32 Kc2. That happened because I was trying other moves.

  Breunor: A very exciting game!
Apr-30-22  whiteshark: My AI refused to analyze this madness. It has already come this far.
Apr-30-22  goodevans: <khursh: This queen sac is insane.> It's almost certainly unsound. After that, and for over a dozen more moves, I was asking myself "how can Black fail to win this?".

Somehow White managed to drum up enough counterplay to drive Black's K into the middle of the board and it became clear that it was now Black who would have to play incredibly accurately to survive.

Was it necessary for Black to give up his B? Would his K have been safe after 51...Bg4 52.Re7+ Kf4?

It looks scary but I don't see how White could have got to his K there.

I don't pretend to understand half of this game but I really enjoyed it. Don't think much of the pun though but I'm not complaining.

Apr-30-22  faulty: folks, ignore the computer analysis. enjoy passionate chess
Apr-30-22  syracrophy: <faulty> Agreed. Computer analysis is enjoyable; enjoying human chess is the real wizardry.
Jun-30-22  Saniyat24: 47.Nb5+...!
