Be careful what you wish for
Have you ever thought, "Boy, if I just had another queen, all my worries would be over!" Don't be so sure. Just ask Janez Barle:
Odendahl,Steven - Barle,Janez [A62]
Lone Pine (7.24), 1979
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 c5 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nc3 g6 7.Bg2 Bg7 8.Nf3 0–0 9.0–0 Re8 10.Bf4 Nh5 11.Bg5 Qc7 12.e4 h6 13.Be3 Nd7 14.Nd2 a6 15.f4 f5 16.Bf2 Ndf6 17.e5 dxe5 18.fxe5 Rxe5 19.Nc4 Re8 20.d6 Qd8 21.Bxc5 Be6 22.Bb6 Qb8 23.Na5 Nd7 24.Bf2 Qd8 25.Nxb7 Qg5 26.Nd5 f4 27.Nc7 fxg3 28.hxg3 Nxg3 29.Re1 Ne5 30.Nxe6 Rxe6 31.Qb3 Kh7 32.Qxe6 Ng4 33.Re4 Nxf2 34.Kxf2 Rf8+ 35.Bf3 Nxe4+ 36.Qxe4 Rf4 37.Qe7 Qf5 38.Qe2 Bd4+ 39.Ke1 Rxf3 40.d7 Bxb2 41.Qe7+ Bg7 42.d8Q
White's a queen up--but it's Black's move! The bishop on g7 might be paralyzed, but it's still powerful.
42...Rf1+ 43.Kd2 Qf4+ 44.Kd3 Rxa1 45.Qa5 Rd1+ 46.Kc2 Qc1+ 47.Kb3 Qb2+ 48.Kc4 Qd4+ 49.Kb3 Rb1+ 50.Ka3 Qb2+ 0–1
And now, from the very next round:
Lein,Anatoly - Barle,Janez [C28]
Lone Pine (8.11), 1979
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d3 Nc6 4.Nc3 d6 5.Nge2 Be7 6.0–0 0–0 7.f4 Na5 8.Bb3 Nxb3 9.axb3 c6 10.fxe5 dxe5 11.Ng3 Bc5+ 12.Kh1 Ng4 13.h3 Nf2+ 14.Rxf2 Bxf2 15.Nf5 Bxf5 16.exf5 f6 17.Ne4 Bb6 18.Bd2 Bd4 19.Bc3 Bxc3 20.bxc3 b6 21.Ng3 a5 22.Ra4 b5 23.Rh4 a4 24.Qh5 a3 25.Qxh7+ Kf7 26.Rg4 Rg8 27.Nh5 Qf8 28.Nxf6 a2 29.Qg6+ Ke7 30.Ne4 a1Q+
This time, the extra queen is probably winning. But I suspect there's time pressure in play here, and Lein doesn't give up that easily. In what follows, Black's rook moves along the sixth rank are particularly unfortunate.
31.Kh2 Kd8 32.Qxc6 Ra6 33.Qd5+ Kc7 34.f6 Rxf6 35.Qxe5+ Kb6 36.Qd4+ Kc6 37.Rg5 Rd6 38.Qc5+ Kd7 39.Qxb5+ Rc6 40.Qb7+ Rc7 41.Rd5+ Ke6 42.Ng5+ 1–0
