Jul-04-09	Korchnoi vs D Solak, 2002 Peligroso Patzer: I did not really try to solve this one, but having seen the solution, I am trying to learn what I can add to my store of "pattern recognition". It seems that the key point to understand here is that the essence of Black's blunder	A42
Jul-04-09	Dortmund (2009) Knight13: <dcp23> Dude you're super lucky then. If you mess up you could've wind up dead!
Jul-04-09	Naiditsch vs Leko, 2009 chessic eric: Thomas Jefferson was further ahead of his time than any of us.	B13
Jul-04-09	H Laroche vs De Riviere, 1862 BISHOP TAL: Some players say the french is boring, but I think playing the same open over and over is boring, cool game. I was wondering chessgames.com at the top of the board is in the red white and blue with stars and stripes I was wondering is ...	C00
Jul-04-09	Rogelio Antonio Jr jameskobe: sir<pinoymaster> Im also trying to access the links but no success. =<
Jul-04-09	Kramnik vs Bacrot, 2009 kurtrichards: Hmmm...what about a game of space invaders?	E15
Jul-04-09	Eugenio Torre pinoymaster77: mysql, masyadong malalakas manuod na lang kami. Kelan ang games skeds?
Jul-04-09	D Jakovenko vs Naiditsch, 2009 kurtrichards: Jako show them the way. Fight!	B90

Jul-04-09	Bacrot vs D Jakovenko, 2009 Knight13: Better than Carlsen's nice little prep.	C67
Jul-04-09	Kasparov vs Timman, 1994 DrGridlock: <No. You're offering it :=). > You're right, nummerzwei. More precise syntax on my part would have been, "If you're going to play the Two Knights defense as Black, you must accept the fact that some lines offer a pawn sacrifice ...	C59

Jul-04-09	Mihail Kopylov BIDMONFA: Mihail Kopylov KOPYLOV, Mihail http://www.bidmonfa.com/kopylov_mih... _
Jul-04-09	Steinitz vs Lasker, 1895 Calli: Steinitz was right, the directors should not have made him move again and let Lasker seal. Would not have made any difference in this game, as you point out. A similar incident happened in Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1936	D35
Jul-04-09	Magnus Carlsen returnoftheking: Short draw today against Kramnik. 100 % theory; although Carlsen may not have known it.
Jul-04-09	Karpov vs Kasparov, 1990 Fusilli: <Knight13> Kasparov disapproved of it? Does he have a better move? What am I missing?	E92
Jul-04-09	The World Whitehat1963: Which of these games is most worthy of study or anthologizing?
Jul-04-09	Noden Nicolas vs A Allahverdiev, 1993 outplayer: The move 21.Bxc7 may have been shocker to the black player.	C25
Jul-04-09	NN vs Blackburne, 1880 Peligroso Patzer: With reference to my own recent comment: <Peligroso Patzer: <perrypawnpusher: *** Geoff Chandler and Todor Dimitrov (2004), however, have made a strong case that 10.Qd8 should be met by 10...Bh3 and that then the game is ...	C50
Jul-04-09	Boleslavsky vs Kotov, 1953 ozmikey: <b3wins> <This nice quote is from Bronstein's classic book on the 1953 Zurich Tournament. However, there is a big hole in his analysis of the 13...Nd5 alternative: after 14.Nxd5 Bxg5 15.Nb6 Rb8 16.Nxg5 Qxg5 17.Nd7 black is not ...	D28
Jul-04-09	Dmitry Jakovenko Whitehat1963: Amazes me that Wesley So's page has over 1,500 pages of kibitzing but Jakovenko's is still struggling to make it into double digits. Jako's endgame skill is amazing! People will be studying his endgames from this era decades from ...
Jul-04-09	Shirov vs Piket, 2001 zev22407: An interesting fighting end game.	C42
Jul-04-09	Hikaru Nakamura timhortons: < dx9293> can you give us the link to the game.
Jul-04-09	Cherepkov vs S Nikolaev, 1991 ughaibu: Nice finish, mate with a pawn or win a piece.	A88
Jul-04-09	Terry J Free myschkin: . . . A blind chess player surveys the board http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidf... How Visually Impaired Play Chess http://www.ibca-info.org/how-visual... Braille set: http://www.braillechess.org.uk/acti...
Jul-04-09	M Umansky vs The World, 2009 kormier: Bonjour <kb2ct>, i must say i kind of envy you having rybka 3 and 2, 8 cores computers. It is certainly a precious gift..........maybe one day.....i will have a valuable software & computer, for now the familly is my priority, ...	D43
Jul-04-09	Kibitzer's Café returnoftheking: lol. I don't like Obama either, but he hasn't stolen anything (yet). Hurraay for America and booh for the bashers! So; to the rest of the world: < Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...
Jul-04-09	Robert James Fischer James Demery: Russell Targ will be on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory Wednesday July 8th to discuss his writings and also his realationships with the late Bobby Fischer and Ayn Rand. Knowing C2C I wonder if they will discuss UFO`s?
Jul-04-09	Nacht returnoftheking: After the break....Guus Meeuwis..
Jul-04-09	Karel Hromadka myschkin: . . . Oui <valmy> that would be nice! IMO the article is worth a translation (have not checked the sources). Just give it a try
Jul-04-09	Sergey Karjakin returnoftheking: yes, that's what I mean! Can't believe I forgot about that one. If Carlsen is the new Fischer, then Karjakin is the new Karpov! ;)
Jul-04-09	Seth Saverymuttu myschkin: . . . Dr. Seth Saverymuttu (Gastroenterologist) former British U16 Chess Champion of 1967
Jul-04-09	Mikhail Botvinnik Everett: Stein, yes. Some may say Bronstein would come in second in this strange competition.
Jul-04-09	City of New Haven myschkin: . . . "Fundamental Orders of Connecticut" Along with the Pilgrim Code of Law [20] and the Fundamental Articles of New Haven [46] , this document is a candidate for being the earliest written constitution in America. ...
Jul-04-09	Duras vs Rubinstein, 1912 Whitehat1963: A complex gem that deserves more notice. Where did Rubinstein mess this one up?	C79
Jul-04-09	N Gaprindashvili vs R Servaty, 1974 whiteshark: <14...Kxg7 15.0-0 d6> was surely the less worse continuation.	B39
Jul-04-09	David Enoch percyblakeney: Enoch's game against Bogoljubow in Berlin 1927: [Event "Berlin FSV"] [Site "?"] [Date "1927.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Enoch, David"] [Black "Bogoljubow, Efim"] [WhiteElo "0"] [BlackElo "0"] [Result ...
Jul-04-09	Frank James Marshall percyblakeney: Enoch apparently played very little but drew Bogo in 1927 (after missing a win), when Chessmetrics have him as #1.
Jul-04-09	Marshall vs Stodie, 1920 Gouvaneur: Totally agree with Morphy. The line with Bg5 is fine, but Ba3 usually doesn't work in those French-Games, because there is a pawn on b2. Therefore Ba3 deserves to be the best move, since it wins quickest.	B20
Jul-04-09	Spielmann vs B Hoenlinger, 1929 Gouvaneur: Unbelievable game, what a beautiful attack! Spielmannwas really an extraordinary tactician, using every pin, every fork, every tactical motive for his attack. You just have to love his way to coordinate his pieces, using his Bb2 to ...	B15
Jul-04-09	Vladimir Kramnik alexmagnus: <slomarko> I can't tell you know which positions are meant but I've read this "myth" often as one of the leading arguments against Chess960.
Jul-04-09	Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984 Chessdreamer: The game score is wrong.It should be 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 0-0 7.e3 b6 8.Be2 Bb7 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.cxd5 exd5 11.b4 c5 12.bxc5 bxc5 13.Rb1 Bc6 14.0-0 Nd7 15.Bb5 Qc7 16.Qd2 Rfd8 17.Rfc1 Rab8 18.Bxc6 Rxb1 ...	D58
Jul-04-09	Sutovsky vs Bacrot, 2005 whiteshark: But where could black have done better?	C48
Jul-04-09	P Popovic vs P Schlosser, 1992 levizki: Yes, Black probably sticked so much to this White's wrong idea, that he missed the real threat. The only hope was 11...f6. I guess it's quite sensible move anyway. If 12. e5 f5 and if 12. Be2 Qxg5, so it looks that Black can hold. Am I ...	B42
Jul-04-09	L Van Vliet vs Lasker, 1889 sneaky pete: Position after 14.Bf1? .. [DIAGRAM] What to do?	C41
Jul-04-09	William Lewis biglo: <"The question has frequently been asked, whether and how Mr. Lewis played Labourdonnais? They played together on three different occasions, in all seven games, of which Labourdonnais won five and lost two. The first time they met was at
Jul-04-09	Kasparov vs Deep Blue, 1997 Check It Out: Deep Blue's 28...f4, 29...e5 plan falls prey to Kasparov's incredible exchange sacrifice 30.f4! The computer must not be able to see the power of the connected passed f and g passed pawns due to the horizon effect; 31.Ne5 blocks the ...	A06
Jul-04-09	Ivanchuk vs Smirin, 2007 ski: i admire chuky's patience in not grabbing the knight on a5 right away, then gaining an important tempo with the rook to e1 (important placement for that rook). the only thing that caught my attention was the wandering bishop on moves on 20 ...	E62
Jul-04-09	Akopian vs Korchnoi, 1993 whiteshark: <32.Rg5! > would have kept the advantage. [DIAGRAM]	B76
Jul-04-09	Raymond Keene SimonWebbsTiger: Paint My Dragon I had an old copy of the Barden book mentioned. It was superb as (the evergreen!) Leonard suggested some various approaches, depending on styles. I think Ray and David Levy did something similar with two volumes ...
Jul-04-09	Schlechter vs Przepiorka, 1906 backrank: One of the classic short games by Schlechter, who drew a World Championship Match with Lasker in 1910. If you look at the position after 12. c1, it is really hard to believe ...	D37
Jul-04-09	10th Karpov Tournament (2009) whiteshark: 24 decisive games out of 45, that are impressive 53,3%.
Jul-04-09	Tal vs T Paehtz Sr, 1974 backrank: Interestingly, this game has a predecessor which had been played only a few weeks before: N Gaprindashvili vs R Servaty, 1974 That game shows also very drastically what would have happened if Paehtz had taken also the second rook. ...	B39
Jul-04-09	Computer whiteshark: Quote of the Day " In the past Grandmasters came to our computer tournaments to laugh. Today they come to watch. Soon they will come to learn. " -- Monty Newborn (1977)
Jul-04-09	Smyslov vs Zhu Chen, 2001 Richard Taylor: Could be - he played well too!	B22
Jul-04-09	Carlsen vs B Predojevic, 2006 offramp: In his notes to the game in Informator Predojevic wrote that 74...Kc6 wouwld have won: "74... Kc6 75. Ne4 Ba5 76. Nf6 (76. Kb2 Bb6 77. Ng5 Bd4+) 76... Kb5 77. Ne8 Bb6 78. Bc3 Bc5 (/\	C83
Jul-04-09	Sophie Milliet Albertan: Sophie Milliet was awarded the Men's International Master title in March 2009.She had gained her norms at the French Club Championship (2005), the Swiss Championship at Lenzerheide (2006) and the Bethune Open (2008).
Jul-04-09	Leko vs Kramnik, 2009 azi: Interesting is that black's plundered gambit pawn on c4 at move 4 is still on the same square 24 moves later at the end of the game. So much for material equality... in a funny sense	E04
Jul-04-09	Panjanathan Mahesh Chandran praddy06: . Congrats Magesh Chandran for winning another tournament. <XVII Montcada Open 2009> http://chess-results.com/tnr21489.a...
Jul-04-09	Carlos Torre vs Yates, 1925 Atking: 11...f5? is weak but the way Torre used it is marvellous. Hypermodern vs Classical chess. Don't move e pawn it will be dead... comes in mind. Here e7 never moved and when White take it Black could resign. Again 7.Be3 is subtle : True White	B08
Jul-04-09	Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1974 Jason Frost: This game needs a pun	B77
Jul-04-09	Armando Acevedo-Millan wordfunph: Who could ever forget your game against Bobby in Siegen 1970 where GM Short claimed he played versus Bobby on the internet. Happy Birthday FM Armando Acevedo!
Jul-04-09	Carlos Torre vs Yates, 1925 Atking: Juste realizing how deep is this game. Why not 8...Nh5 ? was my first though but soon I saw 9.Bg5 h6 10.Bh4 g5 11.Nxg5 hxN 12.QxNh5 and 12.Qxg5... Where black went wrong? 11...c4 looks clearly dubious (This pawn goes nowhere) Else 13...e6 ...	A48
Jul-04-09	Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000 Bridgeburner: The criticism of Kasparov's <14...Nxf6> is justified IMO only because he made a mistake on the next move. After <15.Bxe6 Rc7 16.Bc4 Bxf3 17.gxf3> [DIAGRAM] Black has enough for the pawn, especially with White's pawn ...	E53
Jul-04-09	S Akter Liza vs Thanh Tu Le, 2009 fierychess: black knights are very active.it simply overwhelms his counterparts pieces!	A65
Jul-04-09	Hilda Acevedo jurado96: hilda donde quiera que estes salud y felicidad saludos a tu papa te conoci en algunos torneos
Jul-04-09	Rybka vs Shredder, 2009 Kinghunt: 19. Nd5!and 23. g3! are brilliant, long-term plans that seem far too human. 20...dxe6 is a stronger defense though.	C67
Jul-04-09	Eric Schiller HeMateMe: Eric, I had a question about two of your books, the "Complete Repetoire for Black, and "_____for white." Is the basic concept in these books that 1) most queen pawn openings can be transposed into the Tarasch defence and 2) most king ...
Jul-04-09	Adams vs Leko, 1999 CHESSTTCAMPS: I had a real blind spot in today's puzzle. I favored 20.Nxh6+ gxh6 almost immediately, but I could see that 21.Qf6 would only draw after Bg7, so I turned my attention to 21.Ng4 and found the game line up to 23.Qf5+. Then, for some ...	B18
Jul-04-09	Polugaevsky vs Karpov, 1990 Knight13: Black should've prepared his ....c5 with ...Nd7 first.	E17
Jul-03-09	Ulf Andersson vs Karpov, 1989 Knight13: <12. Rc1> Black offers a draw. White declines. 12...cxd4. White: "crap now it's a draw! But, no, I'm not gonna let him win his offer this quickly!"	E12
Jul-03-09	Timman vs Karpov, 1993 Knight13: Clears Throat Karpov was winning 3-1 at this point and Timman just wastes a game like this?	E15
Jul-03-09	Larsen vs Karpov, 1987 Knight13: Which means 18...e5 was needed. 13...Bb7 is better.	E15
Jul-03-09	S Prokofiev vs D Oistrakh, 1937 jamesjddong: What the ...	B72
Jul-03-09	Gheorghiu vs Karpov, 1986 Knight13: 14. Bxd4 Bf6 15. Nh4 Bxg2 16. Nxg2 =	E17
Jul-03-09	Florin Gheorghiu Knight13: This guy has a good record of drawing Karpov during Mr. K's prime, too.
Jul-03-09	Miles vs Karpov, 1986 Knight13: Makes you wonder why Karpov is playing Queen's Indian if he agrees a draw on this type of typical p QI position.	E12
Jul-03-09	Portisch vs Karpov, 1986 Knight13: 42. h5 is a blunder. Otherwise White should be fine. Same with 50. a5.	E17
Jul-03-09	Khenkin vs T Hillarp Persson, 1998 Steven87: It's the bishop that feels the brunt of this. Any attempt to protect it will be met with Rxc5, and the Queen will be the only piece which can retake, after which Bxb4 will follow and the Queen is won at the price of a rook, as seen ...	D27
Jul-03-09	Ulf Andersson vs Karpov, 1984 Knight13: White has an isolated d-pawn on a dark square.. Black has a dark-squared bishop. Which means Black can put crazy pressure on it. Maybe it's better to play on, if Black doesn't want a draw.	E12
Jul-03-09	Ulf Andersson vs Karpov, 1984 Knight13: Almost the exact game compared to this one: Ulf Andersson vs Karpov, 1984 With black making an extra 17...cxd4. Same players. Same year. Gets suspicious.	E19
Jul-03-09	Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984 Knight13: 11...Nd6 and White gets to trade off one of his knights with a bishop, which is better in this open position. Also, after ...Bxd6 Qxd6 Black is temporarily restricted.	E17
Jul-03-09	Ulf Andersson vs Karpov, 1984 Knight13: 11. d5 should restrict Black's development. And it's interesting that black played 12...Nd7 instead of 12...Nc6, which seems to be the better move.	E19
Jul-03-09	Leko vs Carlsen, 2009 Richard Taylor: Bit of a fizzler!	A32
Jul-03-09	H Hosmer vs Mackenzie, 1871 Knight13: Draw? You kidding? White should play, in the final position. Bg3-c8. If the Black king stays where he is then take on a6 and win. If not, then play Ke3-e4 and march up!	C38
Jul-03-09	G Seul vs A Mende, 1992 Knight13: This is crazy. It's like White tricked Black into setting all his important pieces on defending the d pawn and then quickly swings to the kingside. After that the pawns come at him so fast he coudln't defend adequately!	C26
Jul-03-09	Huzman vs Kasparov, 1998 Knight13: <Whitehat1963: A look at Kasparov's handling of the Queen's Indian.> Except that this isn't even the normal position that results after Queen's Indian. It's way off.	E15
Jul-03-09	Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1999 Knight13: Not to mention Ivanchuk is famous for going into time troubles. But his king certainly enjoyed his walk at the park before getting assassinated by Time.	E12
Jul-03-09	M Gurevich vs Kasparov, 1991 Knight13: Gurevich is no match against Kasparov. This is just the way Kasparov outplays GMs positionally. Maybe that's why he was at the top of the world.	E12
Jul-03-09	E Magerramov vs Kasparov, 1980 Knight13: A classical draw in Queen's Indian.	E17
Jul-03-09	Rizvonov vs Kasparov, 1975 Knight13: <TheBB: Why not 9. Qxc3...? Shouldn't that prevent a needless double pawn?> Not really. The double pawn isn't White's worry. And White wasn't sure where he needed his bishop the most so the posibility of Ba3 needed to be opened. ...	E17
Jul-03-09	E Vladimirov vs Kasparov, 1975 Knight13: Which makes 18...exd5 seem like a mistake.	E17
Jul-03-09	Capablanca vs L Molina, 1911 Augalv: <visayanbraindoctor>, as I told you in the Kramnik page, this was an exhibition game and Lizardo Molina Carranza (his complete game) was the president of the Argentine Chess Club at the time the game was played, and also at the time ...	D52
Jul-03-09	Nigel Short Jim Bartle: That was pretty well covered in "Dreams from My Father," which you would never have thought was written by a person thinking of becoming a high-powered politician. Too introspective. But yes, he was frustrated at not playing enough on ...
Jul-03-09	Odd Lie HeMateMe: She did another 'Palin', saying that "in the words or Douglas McArthur, we're not retreating, we are just fighting in another direction." That quote actually comes from a marine corp or army general from the Korean War. In the brutal ...
Jul-03-09	Viswanathan Anand visayanbraindoctor: <yalie: just wondering if anyone found the reason Anand / Topalov are not playing at Nanjing> Perhaps there is the possibility that their upcoming WC Match is going to take place sooner than expected and they are ...
Jul-03-09	Kenneth Rogoff PinnedPiece: <Shams: <Unfair to put the expenses on her state. To date she has been exonerated of all "charges" such as they were.> Can a rock opera be long in coming? > I can write the music if you can handle the lyrics. I have a ...
Jul-03-09	Rainer F A Knaak HeMateMe: Get the Knack! (for you folks from the 70s)
Jul-03-09	R Pitschak vs Fischer, 1957 vonKrolock: Good escape by young RJF...Pitschak was really a hard <Bohemian Nut> to crack <reztap> Could You perhaps upload that game here in cg.com? Surelly it would be a valuable contribution	A16
Jul-03-09	R Verdes Nadal Jim Bartle: Annihilated is probably an exaggeration. It'll probably be more like the Haas match today, with the score looking pretty close but with little doubt the Fed will win. BTW, I would kill to have a backhand like Haas. Great to watch.
Jul-03-09	Ivanchuk vs Shirov, 2009 FrogC: Astonishing finish. I had no idea such a thing was possible. Black's complete helplessness is extraordinary.	D80
Jul-03-09	Rybka vs Deep Sjeng, 2009 tacticalmonster: Here I would try to explain some of the subtle points behind some of Rybka �s positional moves 20) h4 < give up the f pawn. Judging from later on, taking the f pawn is not the best move. 20) Nb3 probably is a better move, ...	D15
Jul-03-09	Carlsen vs D Jakovenko, 2009 returnoftheking: I guess white always has a tempo in store with it's pawn on g2. Funny (not engine made so maybe not so funny..) line after Kxd4 would be ..f6 f4 Kc6 ke4 Kd6 f5 g5 g4! but black can of course play other than Kc6 and Kd6 or maybe	C67
Jul-03-09	Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984 alexrawlings: From move 27 up to move 33 white has 4 pieces attacking d5 and black has only 3 pieces defending it... yet Karpov never took it. Can anyone explain this please?	D34
Jul-03-09	Korchnoi vs S Szabo, 1954 Freelix: A faster way to win starts with the inventive 22 Qxc1!, planning 23 Rf4 to harass the exposed Qh4. Once the Q leaves the K-side, White's attack will become irresistible.	A22
Jul-03-09	Ujtelky vs E Scholl, 1969 mack: Nice manual castling!	A36
Jul-03-09	Tolush vs Kotov, 1945 Ulhumbrus: Fine says that this is one of the games which give the impression that the Sicilian has been refuted. Fine says that White's pawns advance like a tank offensive. However White's pawns do not overwhelm the defence by themselves. ...	B80
Jul-03-09	Petrosian vs G Barcza, 1955 nikolajewitsch: <BISHOP TAL> He did not quot him on this partticular game, but on this line of the QGD, which had already been played numerous times while Alekhine was still alive.	D35
Jul-03-09	Spassky vs Petrosian, 1969 Ulhumbrus: One interesting point is that after 14 c4 Petrosian does nothing to prevent a double exchange of pawns on d5-transforming his centre into an isolated d pawn- while Spassky does not accept the invitation. This suggests the question of ...	B42
Jul-03-09	S Kerr vs Meng-Kong Wong, 1979 chillowack: 24.Nxb7 was a gutsy move, but what in the world was 26.b5? If White isn't going to take the knight on a6 when he can, he may as well resign. Perhaps after 26.Rxa6 Ra8 27.b5! White might have had compensation: 27...Rxa6 28.Ra6 cb ...	D03
Jul-03-09	Anand vs Korchnoi, 2000 sfm: <Udit Narayan: ...and all this against a legend of the game, Korchnoi.> Indeed a legend. Then, age is an opponent nobody conquers.	C11
Jul-03-09	Chigorin vs A Solowzov, 1884 crwynn: Of course nobody resigns in football or in golf. Now think of a sport where a) there are only two opposing sides (so there is no point going for second, third, etc.) b) there is only one player on each side (so nobody "lets down the team" ...	C25
Jul-03-09	Sadvakasov vs Karpov, 2004 ToTheDeath: Friday puzzle after 38...h5?	C42
Jul-03-09	Yanofsky vs J Therien, 1947 WhiteRook48: did not get it until now	C10
Jul-03-09	Svidler vs Topalov, 2006 WhiteRook48: two sets of doubled pawns!!	C67
Jul-03-09	H Olafsson vs P Smirnov, 2008 WhiteRook48: or are you going to be Fischermen?	E36
Jul-03-09	Botvinnik vs Smyslov, 1954 WhiteRook48: sorry no offense	E69
Jul-03-09	R Lovric vs S Devedzic, 2008 WhiteRook48: lol Mobile Phone with a higher rating funny. He'd probably win anyway	C20
Jul-03-09	N Kosintseva vs T Kosintseva, 2007 WhiteRook48: understandably they didn't want a decisive game here	C50
Jul-03-09	Lokvenc vs O Trinks, 1925 WhiteRook48: after 7...0-0 how many people expect it would look like this after 31 Nf4	A15
Jul-03-09	Zurab Azmaiparashvili percyblakeney: Nice win today in the Greek League against an opponent just a few points below 2700 (Miroshnichenko): 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 b5 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bxf6 Qxf6 7. Nc3 b4 8. Nb5 Kd8 9. e4 g5 10. e5 Qg7 11. h3 Bb7 12. Qa4 a5 13. ...

Jul-03-09	Vidmar vs C H Alexander, 1936 Peligroso Patzer: Referring to the line given in my previous post, after 29. ... fxe4, possibly stronger now for White would be: 30.f5, for example: 30. ... gxf5 (or 30...Bf6 31.fxg6 Rxe6 32.g7 Bxg7 (If here 32...Re8 33.Rf4 Bxg7 (or 33...Kc7 ...	E15

Jul-03-09	Big Slick Tournament (2009) kramputz: Daniel Gormally vs. Rustam Kamsky would be a very exciting match. Let these two arrogant bullies "duke it out".

Jul-03-09	Petrosian vs Kholmov, 1951 computer chess guy: In this opening, better is 14. d5 as in Lilienthal vs Smyslov, 1950.	D19
Jul-03-09	Wang Yue Tripler: It's pretty demanding, I would guess, playing "interesting" chess all the time at the top levels. Someone asked Petrosian why he didn't play more "interesting" chess - he said he could do that, but he'd lose more games. Same with Karpov. ...
Jul-03-09	Carl Schlechter acirce: <Tripler> It is pretty clear that there is nothing to the old myth that he had to win by two points.

Jul-03-09	Santa Claus kurtrichards: I know who is the real santa.
Jul-03-09	Lutikov vs Hamerman, 1949 Sem: White's 8th and 9th moves look highly unpleasant for Black. Perhaps Black shouldn't have clung to his e-pawn for dear life.	C32

Jul-03-09	C K Pedersen vs Carlsen, 2005 ToTheDeath: 94...Bd8?? is a bad blunder after a grueling defense. 94...Kh6 appears to be the only way to draw. All bishop moves lose- White is able to combine threats on the bishop, mate, and zugzwang to force a win. A good game to show anyone who	C92
Jul-03-09	Pillsbury vs Blackburne, 1901 Calli: 6th and last cable match between these two. A modern looking opening that Blackburne carries to extreme with his h5-4-3 demonstration. The h8 rook remains out of play and Pillsbury converts his Qside majority neatly. Notably, watch the WS ...	B45
Jul-03-09	Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian arsen387: A very interesting material posted by <myschkin> on Kasparov page <Garry Kasparov: Lessons Given by Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian http://www.armeniadiaspora.com/js04... >
Jul-03-09	Pillsbury vs Blackburne, 1900 Calli: 5th cable match. Incredibly, Blackburne plays the discredited 3...Bg4 line of the Philidor and is soon down a pawn. Pillsbury's poor cable play continues, however, and he gives away the advantage with 17.Be3? Blackburne pounces with ...	C41
Jul-03-09	Tal vs Schmid, 1961 IMlday: 7.Nbd2!? is odd. Smyslov, Korchnoy and Larsen all preferred the direct 7.b4. To justify it Tal comes up with the weird gambit 12.e3!? leaving the B/g5 out on a limb. Strange chess indeed!	A07

Jul-03-09	Pillsbury vs Blackburne, 1898 Calli: Once again, Pillsbury seems to have the advantage. The almost routine 19.Qb3+ Kg7 20.d5 produces a lasting initiative. Blackburne might go in for complications with 9.Qb3+ Be6 20.Qxb7, but White should have the edge in that line too. ...	D63
