Watch out! Here come the knight-mares!
FM RIBEIRO,Fernando
GM SMIRIN,Ilyia
From a game played in the Canarias in 1997. Black has not played the opening very well and has allowed Smirin to place his Knights aggressively on the Kingside. Both Knights bear down on the f7-square, and in conjunction with the Queen on e2 (eyeing e6), it is not surprising that an explosive tactic exists:
14.Nexf7!
Well calculated! After the natural 14Rxf7 15.Qxe6! ( Not nearly as convincing is 15.Nxf7?! Kxf7 16.Qxe6+ Kf8 17.Bc4 Qe8! and the worse is over or Black. ) 15Qe8 ( 15Bd5?! 16.Nxf7 Bxe6 17.Nxd8 ) 16.Nxf7 Qxf7 17.Qxe7 and White has a decisive material advantage. Black tries to avoid this but he can not for long
14Qe8!? 15.Qxe6!
Now Black has nothing better than to take the Knight on f7, transposing into the previous note. INSTEAD, probably desperate, the Portuguese international tries to confuse his grandmaster opponent, but only succeeds in making things worse:
15Bb4?!
WHITE TO PLAY AND FORCE MATE!
16.Bxh7+!!
1-0!
After the forced 16Nxh7 there follows 17.Nh6+! Kh8 18.Qg8+!! Rxg8 19.Ngf7+ Qxf7 20.Nxf7#
A beautiful mate!
Grandmaster Ilyia Smirin is one of the Europes top grandmasters and has a very aggressive style of play that makes him a favourite of the spectators whenever he plays. Curiously, Smirin is particularly dangerous with his Knights and has won quite a few games with them. Witness his game against Seirawan from the Barcelona International in 2011 (where I also participated and saw the game played right beside me):
