Apr-13-09 kernel7025 : Nice Game! Apr-13-09 ToTheDeath : 13...a5 may be better to slow down White's advance. Apr-13-09

Once : Now that was fun. Black played the usual King's Indian pawn storm on the kingside and white attacked on the queenside. But then the tables turned. White parked a knight on c8 for ages and black left it there cos it had not escape route. Witty. Then white attacked on the kingside that was supposed to be black's territory. No matter, white does use the b file for a rook incursion. The finish is cool. After 42...Qd1+ 43. Ne1, black has no more meaningful checks and no defence to white's attack. It takes some cojones to leave your king so close to the enemy's queen and a protected passed pawn but in this case he is perfectly safe. Thanks, CG.com - thoroughly enjoyed that one. Apr-13-09 BlazeTaktix : Very interesting game. Thanks, CG.com! Keep em up Apr-13-09 furrer : I agree with ToTheDeath, slowing down the queensideplay after 13. a4 is neccesary Apr-13-09

kevin86 : A good game for white-too bad this game could have been played in Los Angeles-AKA:shaky-town. Apr-13-09 goodevans : Good game. Better than other games of the day that I’ve recently looked at. The only thing that spoilt it slightly for me was that I looked at the result before playing through the game. I’d have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t known the outcome as I don’t think I could have guessed it at around move 24. 25 ... Qg5 seems a complete waste of time. I think 25 ... Kf7 would have been my choice, intending to compete for the open h-file. Apr-13-09

playground player : Here's a guy who can honestly say, "I play just like Tal!" Apr-13-09 WhiteRook48 : Tal was Shaked Apr-13-09 Chessmensch : This game was very different, interesting and instructive. Apr-13-09 Dr. Funkenstein : 23. g4!! Apr-14-09 UnsoundHero : Black's troubles started with 30...Bxb2. Instead, I like 30...Qf8 with the idea of ...Qg8, hoping to neutralize white's attack. Removing white's b-pawn actually gives white more possibilities to penetrate on the b-file. Black has good prospects if he can force a queen trade, and maybe more piece trades. Because of black's advanced pawns on the kingside, endgames are favorable. Apr-14-09 computer chess guy : 35. a6! was a fine move, much stronger than alternatives. Apr-22-09 ROO.BOOKAROO : Also, 38. ... Bxc5 seems to be misguided if the intent is to stop or slow down White's Rb2 reaching the back rows of Black's defense. How about 38. ... Ba7? Then perhaps 39. c6
