an absolutly outstanding game [Event "Sochi"] [Site "?"] [Date "1958.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Polugaevsky, Lev"] [Black "Nezhmetdinov, Rashit"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A53"] [PlyCount "66"] [EventDate "1958.??.??"] [SourceDate "1997.12.31"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3. e4 e5 4. Nc3 exd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 6. Qd2 g6 7. b3 Bg7 8. Bb2 O-O 9. Bd3 Ng4 10. Nge2 Qh4 11. Ng3 Nge5 12. O-O f5 13. f3 Bh6 14. Qd1 f4 15. Nge2 g5 16. Nd5 g4 17. g3 fxg3 18. hxg3 Qh3 19. f4 Be6 20. Bc2 Rf7 21.

Ka5 Nc6+ 0-1 what directed me to lookup this game was the commentary at the website below http://www.chesscafe.com/text/sunil07.txt [d]r1b2rk1/ppp2pbp/2np2p1/8/2P1P1nq/1PNB4/PB1QNPPP/R3K2R w KQ - 0 11 You will not find many games with 10...Qh4 quite simply because 10. Nge2 is understandbly not played very much (I only found two games out of 3,000,000). [d]r1b2rk1/ppp2pbp/2np2p1/4n3/2P1P2q/1PNB2N1/PB1Q1PPP/R4RK1 b - - 0 11 How's that for castling into the storm. GM Polugaevsky was essentialy saying "show me". I guess he was shown, from this point on GM Polugaevsky never played 3.e4 again - always playing 3.Nc3. This was the only game he ever played 3.e4 in my database. [d]r1b2rk1/ppp4p/2np3b/3Nn1p1/2P1Pp1q/1P1B1P2/PB2N1PP/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 15 The position here is equal in many program eyes. [d]r1b2rk1/ppp4p/2np3b/3Nn3/2P1PPp1/1P1B2Pq/PB2N3/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 18 Most programs like white here. [d]r5k1/ppp2r1p/3p3b/3Pn3/1n2PPp1/1P2K1P1/PBB1N2q/R2Q3R b - - 0 23 Rh1 Was not that hot -- many programs jump at the queen sac with Rxf4. [d]r5k1/ppp4p/3p3b/3Pn3/1n1KP1p1/1P3rP1/PBB1N2R/R2Q4 b - - 0 25 26. ...Bg7 gets the !! in the above story(link). I suspect 26....c5 does actually lead to the win and Bg7 merely draws. What do you think?
