  OhioChessFan: Okay, <erad> pointed out the same thing 3 years ago.
Nov-30-19  schachfuchs: yes, 67...Qxc4 would have been =0.00 (47 ply)
e.g. 68.Rc3 Qf7 69.Rc5 Qf6+ 70.e5 Qf4 71.Ka3 Qc1+ 72.Kb3 Qd2 73.Bf5 Qd1+ 74.Kc3 Qa1+ 75.Kb3 Qd1+
Nov-30-19  rickgarel: Can someone please explain to me the weird chrisowen comment.
Nov-30-19  King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess that White was tired when complementing the game after the 51th move. The easiest plan is to exchange the ♖ and win the final promoting the a5-8 ♙. See diagram. Therefore, instead of loosing time with 52.♖f7 I would play 52.♖a7 which would force this exchange. If black tries some desesperate sacrifice with 52... ♖xd5 53. exd5 ♕d3+ 54. ♖c2 ♕xd5 55. ♔b2 and White can either threat mate placing the last ♖ in h2 or g2, while the other in some place in the 7th rank, which make the black ♕ slave, while the "a" ♙ goes to promotion or checkmate. For example: 55... ♔b8 56. ♖h7 ♕f5 57. ♖ch2 ♕e6 58. a5 ♔a8 59. ♖g2 ♔b8 60. a6 ♕d5 61. ♖f2 ♕d6 62. ♖b7+ ♔c8 63. b5 ♕c5 64. ♖e2 ♕h5 65. ♖ee7 ♕h2+ 66. ♔b3 ♕h5 67. ♖bc7+ ♔b8 68. a7+ ♔a8 69. ♖c8#. If Black tried to keep the ♖, with 52...♖d6, the White could continue with: 53. a5 ♕d3+ 54. ♔b2 ♕e2+ 55. ♖c2 ♕d1 56. ♖g2 ♖d8 57. ♖a8+ ♔c7 58. ♖g7+ ♖d7 59. ♖a7+ ♔b8 60. ♖axd7 ♕d2+ 61. ♔b3 ♕d1+ 62. ♔c4 ♕e2+ 63. ♔c5 ♕f2+ 64. ♔b5 ♕f8 65. ♖b7+ ♔c8 66. ♗e6+ ♔d8 67. ♖b8#. Therefore, Black will have to accept the exchange... 52...♕d3+ 53. ♔b2 ♕d2+ 54. ♖c2 ♕d1 55. ♖a8+ ♔c7 56. ♖xd8 ♔xd8 57. ♗c6 ♕d6 58. b5 ♔c7 59. a5 ♕c5 60. ♔b3 ♕e5 61. ♖d2 ♕e6+ 62. ♖d5 ♔c8 63. a6 ♔b8 64. b6 ♕f7 65. a7+ ♕xa7 66. ♖d8# If 65... ♔c8 66.a8=♖#. Much more simple. Maybe DUDA is not so trained in the end-of-games.

Nov-30-19  RandomVisitor: The computer likes the trap-like 20.Qxf7!? because it can see ahead to the positional queen sacrifice, which favors white. At move 22 it see this far:

Nov-30-19  thegoodanarchist: This game reinforces the old adage "A man with two Zs in his name is always a strong chess player"

Here the man with 2 Zs in his second name outplayed the man with 2 Zs in his first name.

"ZZ Tops"

Nov-30-19  thegoodanarchist: Q: How do I submit a game of the day pun?

A: With Brazilian jiu-jitsu, of course!

Nov-30-19  brainzugzwang: I'm very confused at Move 67, kind of in line with the <tpstar> post above from 2 1/2 years ago. Why Kb2 for White, and even more, why doesn't Black reply Qxc4? Stockfish rates that position dead even, 0.00.
Nov-30-19  petemccabe: Camptown ladies sing this song, Duda, Duda.
Nov-30-19  RandomVisitor: "Duda queen sacrifice thing"
Nov-30-19  BxChess: I'm glad I'm not the only one who was puzzled by 67 Kb2 and the non-reply 67...Qxc4. In any case a good game by Duda. Lets make a toast.

Duda: Not a dud!

Nov-30-19  RandomVisitor: Move number 67 does not make sense for either player.

I suggest what was played: 66...Qf<4> 67.Kb2 Qe<5> 68.Rc3 Qf6 and we are back in line with the game. This playable move sequence does not allow the pawn grab 67...Qxc4 or the easy win for white 68.Rd6+. There are only two changes made to the score.

What do you think?

  Teyss: Fantastic game and pun. For those who like palindromes here are for memo two other puns (forgot who submitted them, CG doesn't keep track):
M Yilmaz vs Nepomniachtchi, 2013
Giri vs Carlsen, 2019

Any dudes here remember other palindromes?

Mar-16-23  goodevans: Amongst all the brilliant moves in this game, <41.a4!> is easily missed (if 41...bxa4? then 42.Rxh5). Amazing how Black's pawns just kept dropping off.

If Black tries to trap White's Q with the other R the result is somewhat simpler: After <24...Rfg8 25.Qf6 Rf8 26.c5 Rxf6 27.gxf6> Black has both minors en prise but with <27...Bxc5> he can make sure he picks up two White pawns for the N.

That would leave the material imbalance as R+B+2P vs Q, which is more obviously a little worse for Black compared with the game's unusual R+4P vs Q. Nevertheless, that more familiar imbalance might have worked out better for him.

Great palindrome. Terrific game.

  offramp: Who remembers the following great kibitz? It was from User: TugasKamagong.

Lev Polugaevsky (kibitz #100)

<TugasKamagong: I kinda hope the Polish GM Grzegorz Gajewski will produce a son he'll name Paulo. Seems to me "Paulo Gajewski" would be pronounced very much like "Polugaevsky.">

A very funny quote by TugasKamagong!

Could be! One is disposed to a belief in the ubiquity and infallibility of DGT boards, but neither condition is certain. The possibility of mutual time-scramble blunders is lessened by the circumstance that Bundesliga games include a 30-second increment (at least, they do now).
