"In today's round at Baden-Baden, Naiditsch played an incredibly inspired attack in which both the first move and the key next move, can be very tough to find."


Sure - but not so farfetched for human players.
I mean that moves like 1.-Ndf3+ followed by 2.-Qd7
sort of reminds me of the games we played as juniors.

Like wanting something to happen and playing intuitivly -
cannot really calculate everything but surely "there must
be something in this position after Ndf3+..."

Sometimes it worked - sometimes it didn't...

Those were the days we thought having at least something
of Mikhail Tal in our veins.... ;-)

Looks more like an intuitive move, from who is confident it will outplay the adversary. Agree with Larsson.

Considering the eval, it's not very impressive, I would have called it sooner à la Thorsten: "Houdini 3 Tactical Mode is displaying its Fritzy draw evals again, whereas Stockfish is almost as good as CSTAL or Rebel".

I have not actually tried any of the programs mentioned there by my Thorsten impersonation, Rebel, Houdini or Cstal (I don't have a copy, sad to say) but I think this looks like a typical Rebel position. I think it could find it :) Here is Stockfish 2.3.1 (well, the eval is almost pure Stockfish 2.3.1 so I think Stockfish 2.3.1 would also find it)

Actually the move was certainly found based on classic attacking principles: cutting off and weakening the king while dividing white's forces. That said, every single one of his moves, from 1...Ndf3+ until gxf4 is approved by the engines as best. Since we know people cannot calculate as well as a machine, it was indeed incredibly inspired.

As to it being best, of course we can conclude it. Easily. The text move leads to a distinct attack, and even a slight edge, whereas the next best move ends the game in a perpetual, and the best move after that is a clear white advantage. So the choices are: black edge and attack, draw, or white advantage. How is that not clear?

Perhaps you mean it is not clearly winning with best play on both sides, which is true, but I never claimed it was.

yes meant that, best play does not necessary win.

My bad maybe because you tell about "an incredibly inspired attack" witch I took as winning. And its not the case.

Albert Silver wrote:In today's round at Baden-Baden, Naiditsch played an incredibly inspired attack in which both the first move and the key next move, can be very tough to find.

Move one:

[d]r1bq1r1k/pp4bp/3p4/4p1n1/3nP3/2NB2B1/PPN2PP1/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 21

The first move of the attack is 1...Ndf3+!! Please note that 1...Ngf3+ is no good as engines see it only as a means to a draw. There is no transposition.

1...Ndf3+ 2.gxf3

[d]r1bq1r1k/pp4bp/3p4/4p1n1/4P3/2NB1PB1/PPN2P2/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 22

1...Qd7!!

Maybe you should try my Dissident Aggressor settings for Zappa.
It finds this attack almost instantly!
