A solid win ... by a Super-GMA few of you have e-mailed me to say ... that since I annotated another game ... that I must be a "Kamsky hater." Nothing could be further from the truth. (I had words with his Father on a few occasions, but I bore Gata Kamsky no ill will at all.) In fact, I was (more than) a little disappointed when he quit chess, talents like his do not come along every day. I was very active in chess when Gata first came to this country, and I actually watched him develop as a chess player. Here is a game that shows an extremely talented, intelligent, hard working and crafty chess player ... just doing his thing! ********************************* {This was a "bonus, download game" for my "Game of The Month" website.

*************************************************************
The tactic is based on the fact that White's light-squared Bishop will not find an adequate way to defend itself, (after the Black Knight moves to g3) - without dropping the Knight on c4.
36.Kg1 Ng3;
37.Rb7+ Ke6; 38.Bd1,
This could be forced.
[ Or 38.Kf2 Nxe2; 39.Nxd6 Kxd6; 40.Kxe2 Ke6; "-/+" ]
38...Rxc4;
("/+" or "-/+")
And just like that, Black has a won game in this position.
The rest is a matter of technique. (Kamsky has enough for any three normal, human chess players.)
39.Bb3 d5!!;
40.Rb6+ Kd7; 41.Bxc4 dxc4; 42.Rb4 c3; 43.Rc4 Nf5; 44.Rxc3 Nxh4;
"-/+"
45.Kf2 Nf5;
46.Ra3 Nh6; 47.Ra6 Ke7; 48.Kf3 Ng4; 49.Ke4 f5+; 50.Kd5 Kf7; 51.g3 Kg7;
52.Ke6 f4!; 53.gxf4 exf4;
(Resigns.)
A nice win by the GM.
