Nov-07-10  Tomlinsky: Oh dear. I imagine Perelshteyn was thinking this tournament couldn't get any worse before the clocks started for this game.
Nov-07-10  cjgone: Wow, huge blunder by a 2500+ elo player..

<licuan: a 14 move win?>

Yep, 14 ♘e3-d5! shows you the power of Game Collection: THE UNDERRATED REMOVAL OF THE GUARD -- Heisman.

Perelshteyn resigned as he was losing a whole piece.

Nov-09-10  Xeroxx: <Wow, huge blunder by a 2500+ elo player..> Well he can just as well quit playing altogether.
Aug-15-14  Xeroxx: Qh5 is a very long move.
Oct-23-14  Ke2: Owned...

  perfidious: Perelshteyn was not exactly 'owned' in this game; he blundered. Happens to the greatest players.

This variation is actually fairly harmless for Black, with a clear improvement in the natural 13....Bb4 introduced two months after this game in Fressinet vs Efimenko, 2011.

Oct-23-14  Ke2: Come on, winning in 14 is ownage, he probably spent 30 seconds blitzing out Evans prep. I think Christiansen owned Karpov as well.

I did see that Fressinet game and it seems like White doesn't have much of course. As you'd expect from any 3. Bc4 thing.

Aug-07-18  WorstPlayerEver: 13... Qa6 gives Black an advantage.

Sep-19-19  patzer2: Black's 13...Qh5?? allows 14. Nd5! +-, simultaneously attacking the overloaded Knight on f6 and the unprotected Bishop on e7.

If 14...Qxd1, the zwischenzug 15. Nxe7+ Kh8 16. Rxd1 wins a piece.

Instead of 13...Qh5??, <WorstPlayerEver> correctly observes <13...Qa6 gives Black the advantage>.

Jan-17-21  RandomVisitor: After 13.Bd2 as discussed earlier 13...Qa6 appears to be best:

Jan-18-21  RandomVisitor: In the Evans Gambit white has compensation for the pawn, both in the 5...Be7 line as played, or in the 5...Ba5 6.d4 line:

  fredthebear: Random isn't so random anymore but the notes are fine!
Jan-16-24  TheaN: Sometimes chess isn't that hard, if you know what to target: <14.Nd5> targets Nf6 and Be7, which Black can't defend both, nor can he remove the knight because it's the queen's defender. . That same queen has <14....Qxd1>, but <15.Nxe7+> is with tempo, so <15....Kh8 16.Rxd1 +-> wins a piece. All in all, Black can't prevent disaster in this position.
Jan-16-24  mel gibson: I didn't see that - chess blindness.

14. Nd5

(14.

score for White + 5.01 depth 48.

Jan-16-24  Mayankk: A beautiful move, simple in execution and still demands instant resignation.

A check is the most forcing move of all, as it needs an immediate response. Even if that means you can't save your Queen. So we have 14 Nd5, threatening 15 Nxf6+ as well as 15 Nxe7+. Black has 3 ways to lose now.

1) 14 ... Nxd5 15 Qxh5. Lose the Queen and resign. 2) 14 ... Qxd1 15 Nxe7+ (the intermezzo!) Kh8 16 Qxh5 Nxh5. Black is down a Bishop with no compensation. 3) 14 ... Qh6 15 Nxe7+ Kh8 16 Nd5. Still a piece down but Queens are on board. Probably resign as well.

Jan-16-24  King.Arthur.Brazil: The title is "simple", so one has not much to create: the Black♘ has to defend the ♕, so 14. Nd5 exposes this weakness: 14... Nxd5?? will loose the ♕, while 14... Qxd1 loose the ♗ due to intermediary check 15. Nxe7+ and next 16. Rxd1.

  takebackok: Undefended piece and how to make it hurt. It's a puzzle so what else, 14 Nd5 then if you protect the bishop its bye bye queen gg. Interesting makes up for yesterday's dud.
Jan-16-24  stacase: 14.Nd5 wins the Bishop. I didn't expect Black to tip his King over, but as a rule; "Always accept your opponent's resignation."

  scormus: A winning move hiding in plain sight
Jan-16-24  saturn2: Nd5 threatens Nxe7 and Nxf6 both with check. If Nxd5 Black loses the queen.

  chrisowen: I wry its eg hunt lax quiz its Nd5 ghoul its a fig pug bib its off v baz its dug its Nd5 buck?
Jan-16-24  daladno: <Mayankk>, in your option 3) after 14...Qh6 White just take Black Q — 15.Bxh6. There is nothing better for Black than losing a whole piece by 14...Qxd1.
Jan-17-24  Halldor: This is a good demonstration of the priority of check. How powerful this rule can be! Black can’t save himself by exchanging Queens because of NxB† before White takes the Queen back.

The black Queen can’t flee to a square where it can guard the hanging Bishop. And Bd6?? is useless because of NxN† — again the priority of check, and removal of the defender, and the Queen is lost.
