Jan-02-11 | | PeterThePatzer: Could someone please explain why 22...Nd5 would not work for black in this game? Did black miss this line because it was a rapid game, or did these two grandmasters see something which I am missing? |

 | | Phony Benoni: Judging from Sutovsky vs E Inarkiev, 2009, 14...Nxb5 is an attempted improvement. Black may have to go back to the drawing board. Looks like 15...Kd8 could have been answered by 16.Bf4 Qxd1 17.Raxd1+, winning a piece. Right at the end, after <32...Nxg6>:
 click for larger view33.Rxg6 is very tempting, with lines like 33...Qd1+ 34.Rg1+ Qxc2 35.Rg7#. But 33.Qxd7 is probably more precise. Alas, the pros usually prefer the best move to the fancy dazzler. |

Jan-02-11 | | ounos: 22. ...Nd5 23. Qxb7, I guess |
|
Jan-02-11 | | redorc19: Why not 9. Bxe4 dxe4 10. Rxe4 with a pawn up? |
|
Jan-02-11 | | BobCrisp: 9. Bxe4 dxe4 10. Rxe4 Bxf3 11. Qxf3 Nxd4 regains the pawn and equality reigns. |

Jan-11-14 | | RcfM: I have submitted the pun for this game 3 years ago as <kudubux>. The pun served right: fusing a song title from a favorite heavy metal band with a game of one of my favorite modern chess players. R.I.P. Grandmaster Vugar Gashimov! A big loss to the 64 square game, indeed he was. I've always liked his games--- a chess artist of another sort, if you'd compare him to the likes of Ivanchuk, Morozevich, etc. |
