1. d4 {This may not be a game between famous players, but a move like the one
we are about to see would be a unique guest even on chess Olympus. I had
never seen anything like it in my chess career and the only qualification is
that it did not actually take place over the board. As often happens, the
brilliancy remained just off stage, but we can enjoy it just as well.} d5 2.

the advantage! Again, it is unkind to chastise White for believing this is
completely winning and indeed, it did lead to a quick mate in the game.
Unfortunately, there is no room for justice on the chessboard, only truth. It
is a minor tragedy that White did not play the superior 23.#CBg1. Minor
because it is unlikely that Black would have found the spectacular rejoinder
considering he misses the same move in the game a move later.} (23. Rg1 {As
in the game, this leads to mate unless Black finds...} Qg4 $3 {I have
searched my memory and my database without finding a move of such startling
beauty. This queen of easy virtue offers herself up to no fewer than four
captures, including a discovered check that leads to another discovered
check, and yet White can do no better than draw. No matter how long one
looks, it seems impossible. More on this sacrifice after White’s 24th move.}

chance for a win, or at least a draw -- and missing a chance at immortality!
Now mate is forced and White eventually gets the job done.} (24. ... Qg4 $3
{The queen steps into the line of fire on an empty square where she can be
captured by three pieces, two with check. The point is clearance of the d7
square for the black king. Composers will recognize the move as a distant
relative of the theme known as Mitrofanov’s Deflection, named for the fine
Russian composer Leopold Mitrofanov’s gold-medal study from 1967. (White:
#C8a5; pawns - a6, b5, d5, g6, h5 Black: #C8a7, #CDe1, #CDe5, #CCd6; pawn -
h2. ) In the study, the queen steps in to block a check on a squoare where
she can be freely captured, but so capturing removes Black’s ability to check
on the diagonal. (1.b6+ #C8a8 2. g7 h1#CA 3.g8#CA+ #CCb8 4.a7 #CDc6 5.dc6
#CAh5+ 6.#CAg5!! #CAg5+ 7.#C8a6 #CCa7 8.c7!! with inevitable mate. An
unforgettable masterpiece.) But here the goal is more one of clearance than
of deflecting any of the white pieces. It is a pity Black missed this
incredible resource. Not only would he have contributed to chess compendiums
of spectacular moves for all time but he may well have gone on to win the
game. The shock value alone would have been immense. Of course the computer
sees ...#CAg4 instantly as it is the only move. A less spectacular thematic
precursor from master play comes from Topalov - Polgar, Novgorod 1996. In
similar fashion White interposed his queen to create an escape path for his
king.} 25. Rxg4+ Kxf7 26. Qxh7+ Ke8 27. Rg7 Kd7 28. h4 Nd5 29. h5 Kc7 30. h6
