I'm once again working my way through Lars Bo Hansen's book, Foundations of Chess Strategy. In the notes to the game Korchnoi-Kasparov, Lucerne (OL) 1982, Hansen mentions the rather insane game Hulak-Nunn, Toluca IZ 1982. About this game Hansen writes,
I refrain from trying to attach any signs or evaluations to this hyper-complicated outing....He's not kidding! I'll post the whole game below (along with a few brief notes), but I want to call attention to one position in particular:
Hulak-Nunn, Toluca IZ 1982
Black has just played 32...R(a7)a8. As I looked at the position I started wondering why the sequence 33 Qh6 Rg8 34 Rf3, with the idea of Rf3-g3-g4-h4 wouldn't work. The best I came up with was 34...Qa1 35 Rg3 Bd4 36 Bxd4 Qxd4 37 Rg4 Ra1 38 Qxh7+ Kxh7 39 Rh4#.
I'll leave it to the reader to figure out where I went wrong (several places, in fact), or you can check the notes below. The whole game is crazy, I highly recommend it!
