Looking for a certain Polgar game.

I'm trying to find a certain (Judit?) Polgar game that somebody posted in one of this site's forums, I believe last year (2015). I'd like to use it as an example in something I'm writing because it was the best example of a game where one player (Polgar as White in this case) absolutely walks all over the other player throughout the entire game, setting pieces where they could be captured but the opponent dare not capture because they would suffer a tactical loss if they did, etc. The tactics started in the late opening, I believe. I believe I commented on the game, as did several other people, but I didn't save the link, and now I can't find it under the search words "Polgar" or "women". It might have been in the Game Showcase subforum, but I'm not sure.

 

And if we can't find that particular game, I'd be open to any other games with that character as a substitute. A lot of games have one player playing a few such moves in a row, but this went on for an unusually long time in the game I mention.

You want a game with a long sustained initiative? Those are very cool and there are many examples out of the KID and KIA. Those openings build coiled energy which can be released in a murderous way.

Feel free to post some examples. Such games can't be found by any keyword, as far as I know.

I'm still searching for such a game. I went through many Judit Polgar games but didn't yet find the one I remember. The best game of sustained initiative (good search term, thanks) I've found so far is this one, on our own site:

Gufeld-Ivanovic, Chigorin Memorial, Sochi 1979

If you commented on it, you should just be able to trawl through "my topics" and find it quite easily?

I looked for something like that before. That must be an option for paid subscribers because I can't find such an option, on the new version or old version of this site. I can find only the threads I posted.

There was one particular game with something like a 26 move sustained initiative I had in mind, but I'll never be able to find it.
Seirawan - Lobron 1983 is pretty nice.
