  • It is clear that he did not want to trade the queens by allowing ...Qg1+ and in time trouble he did not see ...Qb8++ coming. Besides, this move is somewhat unexpected and is easy to overlook even if one has enough time, because one simply does not expect a mate to occur in such a position, it is not a familiar theme I think. But it is chess, it just happens. Even super GM's are human.

  • o.o didnt see that coming!

    Well, I was there and I saw it happen, so yes, it's real. Shame for Beliavsky he's a nice guy. We were all standing around watching the game as it was one of the last to finish. In a time scramble it's really difficult to keep the concentration going. Games were played at 90 minutes for whole game plus 30 seconds increment. He'd already been surviving on increment for a long time when this happened. And he was no spring chicken, even 9 years ago.

    This is indeed a GM game Alexander Beliavsky (2649) vs Leif Erlend Johannessen(2427). If you look at this game, it is a solid game.

    I could understand the mistake Alexander did at the 69th move because by that time they are already in time trouble so its easy to over look at simple things when they are focused on something else.

  • absolutely no chance that this is a GM game.

  • @Yes, I am, but, again, utterly irrelevant!

  • @Toxie207

    ur gay

  • @VitalSigns1 look up the game on google

  • @dcdearth :

    what do you mean "fake and gay"??

    it tells you exactly which game this is (players, event, round, year). it's very easy to check that it's indeed not fake!

    why just say shit for no reason?

    dumb-ass
