Fried potatoes with tartare sauce in Baku

Submitted by cgs on Sat, 05/31/2008 at 2:52am.

This game was born in the first series of games of the FIDE Grand Prix in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan .At the end of game you can see a unique mate-attack from the Tartar-American, which was mainly due to the bad defence of the White. Had the White found the right move of defence, he could have won the game.

When  the potatoes are fried you must eat them! (with 43.Qf1!!) Ernesto Inarkiev, the Russian boy, (his first name is from Ernesto „Che” Guevarra) thought he would eat the potatoes later (with 45.g3) and he said: please give me some tartare sauce with. Gata Kamsky, the Tartar-American, who speaks Russian as well, heard the request, and prepared the sauce in the form of a mate-attack.

A piece of advice: Prepare the tartare sauce before frying  potatoes!The glory is Gata Kamsky’s for the brilliant mate-attack.

Thanks for these comments!

It's a distinct pleasure for me that this five comment arrived from North-America!

"farine22" asked me: why not 44... Be6 dis check?

If the grandmaster sees a check he has a look round: whether is here a better move? Here is it; the 45... Bg2++! For this reason he left the Bishop on h3. If 44... Be6+ than 45.Qh2 and Black loses the Bishop and the game. In this case (44... Be6+) no more the mate-threatening 45... Re1.

"claypot", what you wrote in every respect is true. The question: "if you find humor in chess"? Just I hope that it is there in the text of article. And still Alphonso...? In my previous post. Look at him!

First piece taken at move 27... You don't see that too often.

At move 32 the black king has a whole lot of space around him, yet white has no credible threats. Amazing.

Incredible at move 29 where the black king is "wide open" and black's queen is cowering with her king. Quite comical (if you find humor in chess, that is...)

Moves 45-48: Pure chess magic.

Thanks for the post.

Beautiful...Nb8 is a great choice it looks.  The position reminds me a bit of some of the ideas from the Philidor defense, with Nbd7 and d6 e5 and Nf6.
