Eduardo Leon
Member since May-02-07
I'm 21 and I have played chess since I was 11. I have played for my school's team, but gave up chess when I entered college. Here in Peru it's not easy to make a living from chess... I play occasionally at www.instantchess.com as MonstruoAntediluviano.

My all-time favorite players are Fischer, Capablanca, Morphy and Kasparov, in decreasing order. However, my style is a bit like Lasker's: Sometimes I reject the move I consider to be the best, to find practical chances. I'm working on my attacks, so I've been studying Tal's and Shirov's games quite a lot recently.

Eduardo Leon: When I saw the queen sacrifice, I didn't notice how much dynamic compensation for the queen black had. After the forced defense of the g pawn 25.Qg4, black finally manages to enter white territory with ...
 
   Nov-20-09 H P Garcia vs R Ziatdinov, 1994 (replies)

Eduardo Leon: <Flash from the past!!: Open defence's first kibitz!: <Oct-22-03 Kibitzer's Café Open Defence: I think Alexei Shirov played the slav a few times so has Khalifman, though Shirov does not restrict himself to 1d4 with white.. say .. Do you guys think its good to ...

Eduardo Leon: So that's why they said he was good at blitz.
 
   Nov-16-09 Fischer vs Larsen, 1971 (replies)
 
Eduardo Leon: <Garech>, in the Fischer-Camera game, the exchange sacrifice was justified by the fact that black hadn't castled. He lost a precious tempo by playing 10... Qa5 only to retreat the queen later with 14...
 
   Nov-15-09 Fedorowicz vs J Benjamin, 1976
 
Eduardo Leon: Perhaps 36...Qe7, intending to play 37...Bd7 is better. At least, it doesn't allow white to pin the bishop in the eight rank.

Eduardo Leon: The black B and Q almost trap the white king. But, if white plays 37... Qg2+ ...
