Go up one level in this thread



For me, the game who illustrate the most this fine line is this one, it shows
one move forgotten, in thousand possible move in the tree after 19. Nxf7 ?! :

from http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/event/brainb02/game6.html :
At the time of playing 19.Nxf7, Kramnik had intended 27.Qe6+ here, but then saw
27...Nf6 28. Qh3+ Kg6! 29. f4 Bh6 30.f5+ Kf7 and dismissed it for the text move
(he was under time pressure). It turns out that the more complicated 27.Qe6+
would have resulted in better winning chances for White. Following is the actual
analysis done by the commentary team, Deep Fritz, and Kramnik himself, enjoy: [
27.Qe6+ Nf6 28.Qh3+  ( 28.f4 Bh4!! The Move that prevented this game from being
the brilliant jewel in Kramnik's crown. The bishop is sacrificed in order to
clear open the file leading to White's king. This is also why White avoided
Qe6+.) 28...Kg6! Kramnik showed that this move gives back the piece but wins for
Black- see very bottom of this analysis.
