Jul-06-23 Tolush vs Keres, 1947 
| |
| suenteus po 147: I've been looking over a lot of Paul Keres' games trying to improve my own correspondence level and I feel like 10...b5 is a signature of his. I've seen a lot of wing attacks by him to destabilize his opponent's center. In this case it "fixes" White's pawn chain on the ... |

Aug-29-22 Andersson vs Knaak, 1974
| |
| suenteus po 147: Stean in <Simple Chess> says that Black's initiation of exchanges with 8...Ne4 leaves him behind in development, which makes 11...d5 a questionable move that opens the center for White. Instead, he recommend locking things down with 11...d6 until he can catch up in ... |

Aug-27-22 E Cobo Arteaga vs Andersson, 1974
| |
| suenteus po 147: In the final position, White cannot save both the bishop and the rook. Moving the bishop to safety allows 30...Bc5. Nice end position to clinch the game. |

| |
| suenteus po 147: <The Second Coming> by William Butler Yeats: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ... |

Aug-12-22 Keres vs Lilienthal, 1940
| |
| suenteus po 147: Lilienthal defends admirably here. Keres makes several attempts to gain a concrete advantage, but despite his best efforts, nothing ever materializes. I wonder about 29.Nf7 offering his rook for exchange, which Black declines. Not quite sure what he was hoping to create. ... |

| |
| suenteus po 147: <Benzol> Paul! It's so good to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear the construction has been so protracted. What exactly is an "American Barn?" I have visions of a stereotypical red and white two story barn from the American heartland complete with wheat field and grain ... |

| suenteus po 147: <Open Defence> It's so nice to see you back on the site again, Sangeeta! I am doing fairly well all things considering <gestures at the world in flames>. My game has improved, though I haven't been facing many opponents of your caliber either ;) |

| |
| suenteus po 147: This is a tough puzzle. c6 dxc6 would be enough to block black from guarding the a8 square in time, except that Be4 comes with check. Taking an extra move after c6 dxc6, but before a6, means there's no stopping Bd3 and the pawn can't safely advance to promotion. Maybe ... |
