 | | offramp: Great game. White gives up two pawns for one of the longest attacks I have seen since old Leatherarse died. It lasts from move 24 and goes full blast right up to move 45. It is 21 moves of dynamite. |

 | | MissScarlett: Not bad, I suppose, but it had already been anticipated by the monumental Ree vs K Langeweg, 1969. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <Czx> I had no idea either. Google to the rescue. "A vulgar but popular term of approbation. Neither the cause of death nor the identity of the fundamentally tough character ..." |

Feb-20-22 | | Brenin: For once, an excellent pun matched by an equally good game. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Fine title, amazing attack, but unfortunately have had too many glasses of Ribera del Duero. How does White win after 30...fxe6? |

Feb-20-22 | | Knightmare07: <How does White win after 30...fxe6?>
Just the natural Nxe6+ and black is forced to give up the queen, considerable advantage after that. |
|
Feb-20-22 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: <An Englishman> 30..fxe6 31 Nxe6+ and black will have to give up the queen. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Looked at 31.Nxe6+ and thought that would not suffice because after Black sacrifices the Queen, he still has R, N & P v. White's Queen. However, after another look, Black does have a lot of weak pawns. |
|
Feb-20-22 | | goodevans: <38.Bxf7> was a massive mistake that could have cost White the game (38.Qh7 immediately was right). click for larger viewIf Black recaptures with the N rather than the Q then White can no longer play <39.Qh7> because <39...Re1+> mates and without that move the attack just peters out leaving Black a piece to the good. Exciting game though and a terrific pun to boot. |
|
Feb-20-22 | | goodevans: ... but of course if Black had found <38...Nxf7> then we would have had just another failed attack and this would never have made GOTD! |
