    Please more games by GM Christiansen .
    I have played at tournaments with him.
    His is a funny and kind guy who once played some legendary ROOK SAC at an Olympiad team game in the 90's.
    I remember asking him about it...it was covered by the excellent magazine " Inside Chess" published by GM Yasser Seirawan himself.
    I remember " and the Crazed Rook throws itself into the fire!!! ' was a poetic quote from the magazine.

    I love chess, but honestly the rule about repeat moves resulting in a draw is such a cop-out way for sooooo many matches to be drawn when one side clearly is winning. It’s aggravating to see. White’s options were draw by repetition or draw by stalemate…

  • @edmondh9977
    @edmondh9977 7 лет назад

    At 3:04, would it be possible for white to simplify with 34.Qxa2 Rxa2 35. Bxa2? In this variation, white will be up a piece and 2 rooks versus black's sole queen. I don't see how black would be continuing the attack. The e and c pawns are still protected by the well placed knight, and the bishop can relocate to c4>e2 to guard against the weak light squares in the white camp
    I dont see 34... Rxg3 working either, cause after 35. Kh1, he'll be able to play Rd2 or Rc2 and white's king will be pretty safe. White can also play something like Rb1 or Rb2 with the idea of Rb7, seizing back the initiative. Keep in mind that white is up an entire rook and piece at in this variation, so if he ever makes a mistake, he'll be perfectly happy to give up his queen for the knight or rook.

    • @pdxguy52

    • @martisian
      @martisian 7 лет назад +1

      If Rf8 Qa4 wins a rook, but Nh6 seems a quite decent move.

    • @MKD1101
      @MKD1101 7 лет назад +1

      martisian Rh8 is bad, ok but other one holds!

    • @FromTheMountain
      @FromTheMountain 7 лет назад

      From a positional point of view, I think Nh6 is not desireable because it is very difficult for black to get any sort of counterplay from that position. In a more concrete form, we can see that white already has Qb6 picking up a pawn (note that Qd7 doesn't work because of Nxf7 with a discovered attack). Black probably didn't want to go full passive and decided to go for a sacrifice to create some play.

    • @martisian
      @martisian 7 лет назад

      You are probably right. After Qb6 the c6 pawn is lost and the knight on h6 looks pretty silly.

      Black can't move any of his pieces. The king is cut off and all the pawns can't advance. Either the rook perpetually checks the king, or the rook is taken and black can't move.

    • @adrianp7431
      @adrianp7431 6 лет назад

      If the king captured the rook, the game is already over! It's a stalemate and a draw! Nobody wins! Stalemate is a position counting as a draw, in which it is a player's turn to move, that player is NOT in check but cannot move except into check. Stalemate is frustrating if you are winning! Just because the king can't move doesn't mean it's stalemate. So black sacrificed whatever piece remains. Do you understand now?
