Feb-17-14 Jobava vs Dubov, 2014 
|
gaviero55: Another really nice game from Jobava! Just at face value 13...b5 seems premature. 15.d4 & 16.Nc5 are effective replies. 29.f4 is surprising, perhaps the N shouldn't be captured? Black's center collapses. Dubov avoids 30...Bg7 because of 31.f5. Fertile play from Jobava again. |

gaviero55: I think Black is still for choice after 40.g3 with 40...Qh2. |

|
gaviero55: Draw? Yes, 41...Rh6! and black holds his 3rd rank (42.Qb6 f5). A pretty good game by both. |

gaviero55: An example of Soviet conspiracy? There seems to be a lot of play left. |

Nov-12-13 Polugaevsky vs Hort, 1981 
|
gaviero55: Yes, 14...Bxc5+ improves. It does force 15.Rf2 then 15...Rxh2 breaks in! The rook can't be taken because of Qh4+ and 15...Rxh2 threatens Rh1+, so 16.Nd1
( if 16.Kf1 then 16...Nxc3 17.Bxc3 Qh4 and if 16.Ne2 then 16...Qh4 ... |

|
gaviero55: if 37...Re7, then 38.Qg3+ and the N on c6 is now hanging (it took me a while to see that!). Nice play on the h2-b8 diagonal (30.Rg3). As we all know, beware the Queen when she attacks the King! |
