Mar-10-14		Boris Schipkov: This game with my commentary in Chess Siberia http://www.chessib.com/volkov-socko...

Feb-15-17		PawnSac: < EvanTheTerrible: Great game! How much of this is theory? > all of it now! <g>

Feb-20-17		perfidious: White's sixteenth is one of those 'where the hell did <that> come from?' moves.

Feb-07-18		Grandma Sturleigh: Surely GOTD-worthy? All we need is a pun.

Jun-08-18		paavoh: How about "Volkov Fame"? Just submitted it...

Jun-08-18		ChessHigherCat: I somehow suspected that "Volkoff and live!" wouldn't go over too well...

Jun-09-18		andrewjsacks: Oh spirit of Frank J. Marshall.

Jun-09-18		nalinw: A rare pun that suits the game as well as the players name. I would prefer "Volkov Life" though .... with Dire Straits in the background

Jun-09-18		OhioChessFan: <Jun-08-18 paavoh: How about "Volkov Fame"? Just submitted it... > That was quick. Amusing secondary part of the pun is the opponent of the "Walk" player has a variant of "Sock" in their name.

Jun-09-18		catlover: Excellent choice for GOTD. 16 Bg6 was a thunderbolt.

Jun-09-18		UnknownPlayer: have not played regular chess in a while. will try to commentate by myself. 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 nimzo? boring for both sides. sad. 4. f3 i know this thing is played in gms but i would not be comfy with f3. d5 ok. 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 O-O now f3 makes white really cramped. i would definitely prefer black here although he has given the bishop pair away. 7. cxd5 exd5 8. e3 seriously? who would like to play this position with white? Nh5 9. Ne2 Re8 10. g4 white started to gain space. black better be careful or be subject to a big pawn storm. Qh4+ 11. Kd2 Nf6 12. Qe1 Qh6 why not trade? white is trying to attack black king. i'd definitely trade. 13. Nf4 c5 14. Bd3 b6 15. h4 black queen is trapped now. black should have traded. Nfd7 but it's too late. 16. Bg6 now the queen will be trapped for eternity. hxg6 17. g5 Qh7 18. h5 Kf8 19. hxg6 Qg8 20. Qg3 black did not listen to me. now will lose. Bb7 21. Nxd5 that's a nice pawn grab Ne5 22. gxf7 Nxf7 23. Nc7 now the rook is trapped too g6 24. d5 why not take the rook? Nd7 25. e4 Nde5 26. Kc2 Rac8 27. Ne6+ Ke7 28. Bf4 Nc4 29. Rh4 black position is really, really bad. Red8 30. a4 why? Qe8 31. Bc7 Ne3+ 32. Kc1 Rxd5 33. exd5 Bxd5 34. Nf4 now black had to give material away. Kd7 wow. that is really clever. rxc7 runs into nxg6! 35. Nxd5 Nxd5 36. Re4 Qh8 black is really cramped. 37. Be5 Nxe5 38. Rxe5 Nxc3 39. Kd2 Re8 40. Rxe8 Qxe8 trade everything and win the endgame. easy. 41. Re1 Qh8 42. Qg4+ Kd8 43. Qf4 Kc8 44. Qf6 Qh4 45. Qc6+ 1-0 black should have traded those queens.

Jun-09-18		morfishine: "Volkov's Immortal"

Jun-09-18		Breunor: I ran Stockfish at 24 ply for 6 minutes and it couldn't find 16. Bg6! But once it was played it was evaluated as a big plus! Great game!

Jun-09-18		Check It Out: 16.Bg6 is an amazing move!

Jun-10-18		offramp: If someone played 16.Bg6 against me, I'd have said, "What have you taken?"

Jun-20-18		Check It Out: "Who do you think you are, Frank Marshall?"

Oct-05-19		mel gibson: Interesting. I saw the text move and so did Stockfish 10 but after a few minutes the computer changed it's mind and had another move: 21. Rh7 (21.
