Wouldn't white then have:

28.Qg7+ Ke7

29.Rxe6+ Kxe6

30.Bg4+ Ke7

31.Rd7+ winning

or 30...f5 31.Nc5#

Mar-21-06 schnarre : <khense> You got that right!!

What about 26...Re8 27.Kh6 Kf8 28.Rg4, with (I think) a much simpler win? I don't see a real defense to 29.Rg8+ Kxg8 30.Qg7#; e.g. 28...Bxg4 29.Qg7#

Jan-31-07 whatthefat : <CRWynn>

Yes, that's probably a more elegant way to do things!

Nov-06-07 Samagonka : Like I said before, mind over matter once you are in check. It really takes bravery to turn weakness into strength. My motto is: don't panic! Think simple. Move convinced! Both on the board and in real life circumstances!

Jun-16-08 addiction to chess : "The King is a fighting piece!" - Wilhelm Steinitz This was really proven in this game.

31. Re4+ wins even easier:

31. ... Kd8

32. Qf6+ Qe7

33. Rxe7 Rxe7

34. Qd4+ Kc7

35. Qxc4

31. ... Kd6

32. Qd4#

31. ... Kd8

32. Qf6+ Re7

33. Qh8+ Re8

34. Qxe8#

Dec-13-08 WhiteRook48 : Why 26...Bd5??? Totally ignores the threat of Kh6 and Qg7#.

Dec-22-08 WhiteRook48 : favorite King walk game

Jan-31-09 WhiteRook48 : he beat the goose

May-15-09 Kinghunt : Whiterook, he doesn't have any better option. The only move that even delays the mate is 26... Qe7, but that is still no defense.

May-17-09 WhiteRook48 : well, 26...Qe7... is a forced queen win

Oct-25-10 sevenseaman : Fantastic! Its like the K and the Q decided their army wasn't good enough and two of them together went to conquer a distant land on their own, leading by example. Ironically Black Q checks only helped the White king in the right direction.

May-25-16 waustad : Considering the puns possible between the name Weenink and an opening named after Wien, I'm happy that they just came up with something else. I suspect that they merely hadn't a clue how the city is pronounced by those who live there.

moronovich : <White's pieces have been playing a Sicilian.> Good point/lol!

So if we move pc6 to e6 everyone would be happy.

Stonehenge : According to Limburgsch dagblad, 04-04-1936 the game was played in Amsterdam 1923. http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=d...

thegoodanarchist : This game is novel in my experience. Deserves GOTD.

May-25-16

Honza Cervenka : 18...dxe4 was a weak move. It was necessary to play 18...Qa3+ 19.Kd1 Nd7 with very complex and quite unclear play.

May-25-16 AvidChessMan : <Samagonka: .. My motto is: don't panic!> Is this on the cover of the Hitchhikers Guide to Chess? It seems that black was unprepared for the white king's daring trek.

May-25-16

kevin86 : White's king marches up to assist his queen in mating the opposition.

May-25-16

AylerKupp : <AvidChessMan> Yes, to boldly go where no king has gone before.

playground player : I love those victorious King marches! Wish I could make one myself.
