♚Play turn style chess at Chessworld.net: http://www.chessworld.net/chessclubs/asplogin.asp?from=1053 Instructive game tags: A fantastic attacking game from Geller against a former world chess champion Vasily Smyslov. The game opening is a Gruenfeld defence where White plays a very direct attacking plan of f4-f5 to break open lines against the black king. The diagonal a2-h7 is very dangerous for the black king, and making use of the f-file resources as well, results in a queen sacrifice at three points in the same game. The queen sac is totally sound in all instances and demonstrates White's attacking potential. When the dark squared bishop was on h6, there was also a possibility it seemed of Black taking multiple times on e4 when White played his 22nd move Ne4. But with the Queen on f4 eyeing b8, there was also a possibility of a back-row mate with Qb8+. This made Ne4 a very powerful move indeed. And when the Knight on e4 was finally taken, this led to the first Queen sacrifice! A superb attacking gem from Efim Geller. One of his finest immortal notable games!
