Live commentary 15 minute chess - icc15min2012 22jan 944am - Black with Albin Counter Gambit

[kandpel]

I think 24... Bg4+ 25. Kg2 forced ( Kh2 h4 or Kh4 Be7 mate) h4 with a discovered attack on the king and a nice passed h pawn

[biernico]

ahhh good attack . coordination even without queen on board

[RookOfKells]

beautiful. far better than fireworks, and loads more fun than most of the Tata games--with all due respect to the masters of course :) cheers on this crush - Tal would surely be proud of his student!

[randomlyXanonymous]

Very cool boden-like mate with the crisscrossing bishops

[Varvitski]

What a brilliant game this is!

[TheHuginMunin]

Let the Super-GMs play there Slav. - Thats exactly the style and the kind of game, that inspires me.

[Iodine1987]

That was an excellent game KC!

[jewbinson]

Stunning game

[narkfly]

awesome victory. :) down the exchange, but sucked the king into a nice mating net on the rim of the board. well played.

[MattSmithArt]

You really lived up to your name with this one, oh Crusher of Kings!

[Estzenify]

Great game, Albin-Countergambit is rare to see. Well Played!

[near009]

24 .... Bg4+ is best i think :)

[luitek]

@near009 that's what i wanted to see too...

[Nola213]

Wow, I gotta start seeing those types of knight sacs. You got a huge amount of compensation and opened up a huge attack on his King.His Rooks were spectators the entire game.

Beautiful play. Perhaps there may have been a more concise mate? But if it works in the end, it works. There were a ton of options, and with a position like that you got to be careful not to let him out of the net with an over ambitious move, soooo I'm gonna say it was extremely well played.

Beautiful Game KC!

[selfoe]

what if white had played Rg?...to stop mating?...great game!

[shinyninetales999]

@selfoe then Rh6 is mate

[SuperMyfamily01]

@selfoe Then Rh6 is mate. There's no way to stop both mate threats of Rh6 and Bg4

[MrLargadon]

Beautiful game, well done!

[tehkaewt]

Great game. Had to mute the football game so I could listen to this... much more interesting!

[ips101]

really nice game. I thought he also defended quite well considering.

[bunpeininja]

I think this was your best G15 performance since you started doing them!

[fenetre109]

A work of art

[matttttes]

wow, beautiful game

[ANSIcode]

True beuty. Great intuition and calctlation dealing with that extremely complex combination so simply presented to us.

[jmwvirgil]

His rooks being unable to get into the action was significant here. Knight sacrifice worked perfectly. Wouldn't mind a post-game on this one KC, if you don't mind.

[SquirrellOFC]

Why was Kh3 so bad? Surely Bg4+ pushes the king back into the pin, and then you can push the pawn and win the knight? If Kh4, Be7+ Bf6 Bxf6#...

[CinkupiChess]

I would love to see a video of you using an unorthodox opening, for example grob or smth like that. Also, the Von-Hennig Schara gambit would be nice to see in action - this one actually is sound.

[tallinus]

17:24 isn't Bg4 just winning the knight by force? infact if Kh4 is checkmate with Be7. If Kh2, just h4, and if Kg2 h4 as well.

[gunuffimoo]

Another great game !! I think you just shuffled him around. He had nothing to say really. Good job kc !!

[CHESSTERUK]

Nicely done KC. Thanks for sharing

[kasparov251986]

[henryparsnip]

Nice game sir.

[MrInalbert]

brilliancy price for KC!

very well played Tryfon!

[smnajmabadi]

amazing :)



[xdragon2k]

I'm glad you spotted the mate potential with 25.. Bg2+. I was screaming at the screen when you mentioned Ne7 blocking the dark square bishop's square.

[WalkerH4O2]

Awesome game! :-)
