For what is chess

A brilliant mating attack in the first round of the Ukrainian Championship, which started in Kyiv today:

GM Kovchan - GM Korobov

35...Rf7?? [35...Rc7 was necessary] 36.Nxd5!! exd5 [if 36...Nxd5 37.Qxh6+ Kg8 38.Rxg7+ wins] 37.Qxh6+!!

And Black resigned. 1-0 [37...gxh5 38.Rg8+ Kh7 39.Bf5#; 37...Kg8 38.Rxg7+ Rxg7 39.Be6+ Kf8 40.Qh8+ Ng8 41.Qxg8+ Rxg8 42.Rxg8#]

What else a normal spectator/fan needs from chess? The answer is: NOTHING.
