One for the King

Submitted by kenytiger on Sun, 04/20/2008 at 4:36pm.

Here is a game where the seventeen-year-old Wizard of Brooklin defeats his New Yorker counterpart, International Master Raymond Weinstein. After the crushing 33.Qxh6!!, Black realizes he is busted, taking the Queen is out of the question and if the Rook moves, 34.Qxe6 White wins material. A nice victory for Bobby.

That last move was frightening...no escape from checkmate.

This was so beautiful that looks like "lucky". Yeah, this is the difference between a good player and a very good player.

Nice game, another of Fischer's string of Superbly conceived, powerfully implemented concepts. Thanks, Keny.

The white pawn protects the black queen on move 22.

Taking that pawn involves a queen chase that loses black tempos and eventually the queen.

black is too preoccupied with other threats to think about the a4 pawn. a single pawn isnt worth much in a game like this. The kings were castled on opposite sides. dynamic play in the center with the white queen.

Amazing ... so many things I don't get ... e.g. why the persistence to offer the pawn at a4? (7.a4; 19.Rab1; 22.Rb5).

On move 22, why doesn't black just play Qxa7? This not only gains a pawn but also gains tempo by simultaneously attacking White's rook. This move was either missed by Mr.Weinstein or I missed out something.

Why didn't Weinstein move 22... Qxa4?
