My King Walk

Sort:
LogoCzar

I had seen the famous king walk in the Nigel Short vs Timman game and really liked it. 

 
I played a game recently with some similar themes:
Weak dark squares, black can't do much without losing something, a white piece on f6
 
I had the initiative, but my other pieces weren't enough to win material directly.
They needed another fighter.
 
The game can be found here:

Great attack!

What a crush!!

Not that there was anything wrong with gxf8=Q...

IamNoMaster

what happens when black plays Rfa8 in the final position? how you win?

AussieMatey

39.Rxf5 exf5 40.Kg6 threatening Rh8 mate. A 2400 should spot that.

IamNoMaster

Makes sense! Still dont think though that Rh6 is the best move.

IamNoMaster

Anyway good game!

AussieMatey

37.Kh6 wins too.

IamNoMaster

well Im sure a lot of moves win in that position, for example gxf8 ;). But yes thats what I thought, Kh6 looks strong.

Though the king walk was cool, the game was counted as a loss for me - my phone ran out of battery in the final position.

Still, I don't think I would have been able to do the king walk if it weren't for my opponent who was a good sport - I had a mouseslip earlier in the game that he essentially let me take back.

Normally I wouldn't care, but that's actually really tragic, according to what I see on the board..

A tragic masterpiece indeed.

Oh wow, after all that good play too. How unfortunate.
