I wish I could take credit for this title, but sadly I cannot.  Clever Though. This game was posted on another site as game of the day 13Oct05 with Anand handing a beating to Kasparov. The queen side attack of this game is beautiful and extremely cramping.  The end might not follow the premise but it worked and thats what matters... Enjoy

Its kinda long so stay with it and I'm sure youll appreciate the positions

If black takes the pawn on move 17 white plays Rfb1. Black must play ... Qa5 and white plays Bb6 trapping the queen.

You know, I dont know why. I asked myself the same question and all i could think of was maybe he felt he would be out of position or maybe he thought about it and moved it to c7 after letting go of the knight...little kasparov humor there, couldnt resist.

Cloye, thanks once again for always choosing great games to post!  Anand has a beautiful style.  Another player I love to watch play is Ivanchuk!  His style is always so creative.  Morozevich, ....I know, this list could go on with great creative players - Tal, Bronstein, lol.  Thank you.

im really starting to appreciate Leko more and more. alot of his losses come from the same 'mistakes', which I think he is making less and less often. Hes a great GM and has a long career ahead of him.  I say 'mistakes' because his moves are better choices than I would ever make. Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone.
