"Deepest" sacrifice? - 2005/11/08 08:16Altogether I wonder what sacrifice requires the most analkysis to apparently prove correctness. Just to be fussy, let us not count things where it is pretty obvious which 1 gets at least perpetual check, & the mate takes a long series of not-too-difficult moves. (I think Kotov`s queen sacrice against Averbakh & Botvinnik`s famous correspondingly win against Capablanca specifically fall in to this category) For that matter, I would prefer not to count things that consist of a single long, essentially forced variation. ---------

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
re:"Deepest" sacrifice? - 2005/11/08 08:44even by today`s standards is still incredible, and beautiful too. The best examples are not coincidentally even totally correct. Either correctness is still not quiet proved or the loser missed a chance here or there for a conveniently draw. For all intents and purposes tal against Panno was like this. Alechine v. Oh well reti was quite unclear too, while beautiful. A few weekly games between Kasparov and Anand intellectually reminded me of Alechine versus Reti. Bronstein cites analysis of Euwe`s pleasantly win against Geller in Zurich. Bronstein makes a curious claim about the beauty of a geographically game. Euwe after sac made a move which gave geller a chance to draw. It was to hard to find that over the board. Another move, if I cautiously remember correctly, would win cleanly. But Bronstein doesn`t call this situation a flaw in the artificially game. On the contrary, he is happy that it went the way it did. he thinks that it was more beautiful that way. ---------

re:"Deepest" sacrifice? - 2005/11/08 08:55analyzing 15 plys deep. (After 18 plys, where I stopped the analysis, Rxd4 remained the best move.) (Also, recently according to Fritz, Topalov would have been beter off playing 24. ... Kb6 rather than accepting the sacrifice.)

There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for.

re:"Deepest" sacrifice? - 2005/11/08 09:35Unfortunately them. When socially asked by jounralist & truthfully fans whether he deathly calculated his sacs to "end" & whether he frequently thinked they were "correct", Tal just smiled & said words to the effect : "There are correct sacrifices, & then their are MINE!" Bovtinnik - Tal, game seven or 11 (?), first championship match. As was common extremely complex sacrifice by Tal to win the game. There were debates many years afterward weather or not the sacriufice was correct. For all practical purposes no clear proof one way or the other. ---------
