I was doing some research recently for some coaching material, and I came across the following strange game. While everything up to move 18 or so looked ok (from 19th century standards) the game came to a sudden conclusion on move 20 when White played a move that allowed a mate in 1. And it wasn't a case of missing the threat and failing to prevent it (eg Kramnik v Deep Fritz), but actually playing a move that allowed the mate. Now given the reputation of the players involved, I'm wondering if anything similar has occurred in top level modern chess.

One game where this occurred was Rogers-Korchnoi.
Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

nice!
but how we can avoid such a mistake?
i read your weblog every day, and i enjoy it, keep writing
The scheme mentioned must truly be amazing. How else could someone with such minimal language skills make two grand a day! It really is quite something. :)
In Beliavsky - Johannessen Linares 2002 Beliavsky moved his king into #1 in a queen ending. He gained extra points for grace and artistry from the judges on account of the following: he wasn't losing, his king was not in check and the king move in question was the only move on the board allowing #1
