Adorjan Speaks the Queen's Indian

Submitted by NM GreenLaser on Sat, 05/02/2009 at 8:22pm.

Andras Adorjan was born March 31, 1950. He was a candidate for the world championship. He has written chess books, including four with "Black is OK" in the title. His opponent in this game is Zoltan Ribli, who was born September 6, 1951 and who also has been a candidate. Both of these players are Hungarian and played on their national team when it won the gold medal in the Olympiad of 1978. Adorjan won the championship of Hungary two times, while Ribli won it three times. This game will feature the Queen's Indian, an opening Ribli and Kallai wrote about in "Winning With the Queen's Indian." In this game the last word was Adorjan's. His last move is worth the price of admission!

As immortalgamer wrote, "Because the white queen is pinned to the king.  So the white queen cannot move and should the white queen take the pinning piece (the black queen).  White loses with Rook takes rook Mate!," Black wins. Just one modification is needed, it is mate next. If 28.Qxa5 Rxc1+ 29.Bd1 Rcxd1#. Notice the bishop on f1 prevents e2 from being used as an escape square.
