| Nov-12-09 | | spotkicker: May be white made a mistake at the opening. 9.b3 instead of 9.Bh3. 9...cxb3 10.Nxb3 Ne7 11.Rb1 Is black good? |
|
| Nov-12-09 | | spotkicker: I think black should accept pawn exchange and open b file for white rook after 9.b3. |
|
| Nov-12-09 | | Samagonka: Bradford had something like a death wish - looking at where his king ended up in the final position. |
|
| Nov-12-09 | | kellmano: That's a great game and one that i haven't seen before. Very nice final mating pattern. |
|
| Nov-12-09 | | spotkicker: Samagonka! Please look at that game: Taimanov-Larsen(Havana,1967) You'll have fun. Because there is a white king on the Black's side too! |

 | | Phony Benoni: <stoy> Are you using the MyChess Java viewer? If so, it has a bug that prevents display of a game where a king reaches the 8th rank. (This has been a long-standing problem; see the first few kibitzes on this page.) The other Java viewers seem to work fine, so just switch to one of them for this game. |

| Nov-12-09 | | sac2win: very rightly called "tour de france" as white king has toured entire chess board before getting mate by queen and knight combination. really nice sacrifices by black to make such tour possible for white king!!!! lol |

| Nov-12-09 | | goodevans: Very strange and interesting game.
When I played through it I thought white was totally busted after <19 ... Rxh4+> so I was amazed that Rykba even had white ahead after <28 ... Ne5>. Ultimately it was only white’s blunder with <31 Ke7?> that cost him the game (with <32 Kf7?> hastening his demise). |

36 ... Qh7 does the trick I think. |
|
| Nov-12-09 | | chillowack: I enjoyed Black's swashbuckling chess, but I'm wondering why White didn't play the simple 25.Bf4? It seems like then he would have been fine after 25...e5 26.Qd4. Is there some other line I'm missing? |
|

 | | Once: <chillowack> I think White had a number of chances to survive the attack. Your 25. Bf4 seems to hold out quite well, although I'd still be a little worried about the black passed pawns. Fun game to play through, if not entirely sound. |

| Nov-13-09 | | TheTamale: Can someone please show me why White didn't simply play 22. cxd4 Qxd4+ 22. Rf2? I can't see the follow through for Black. Thanks! |

 | | kevin86: A dep attack ending with a great king chase. |
|
| Nov-15-09 | | WhiteRook48: then white can sac a rook w 37 RE8+ and still hope to last, but he is losing |
|
| Nov-17-09 | | TheTamale: Thanks, <AnalyzeThis>... can't believe I missed the hanging rooks. :-( |

| Feb-18-17 | | offramp: Joseph M Bradford won two brilliancy prizes at Lone Pine (1979), and they were in successive rounds. They were this one and N Weinstein vs Bradford, 1979. That is an impressive achievement! |

 | | fredthebear: Two brilliancy prizes, back-to-back rounds?? Very impressive achievement!! Here's a link to the Fred Reinfeld book of brilliancies collection, an early favorite of mine. This joyous book always seemed to disappear around other chess players, at least prior to the age of the internet, when all players could still read descriptive notation. The colorful cover seemed to attract attention: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Brilli...
Of course, it's no matter that a Dover publication would disappear in a public setting, as such is easily replaced as a boost of encouragement. IM Jeremy Silman says Mikhail Tal won the most "best game prizes," a whopping 15 of them!!
https://www.chess.com/article/view/... Oft-repeated Trivia: The first brilliancy game prize was awarded during the New York Clipper Tournament in 1876. A silver cup was offered by Mr. Lieders, proprietor of the café where the tournament was held, to Henry Bird for his game against James Mason. Contradicted by London 1862 tournament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Londo... Here is Bill Wall's Chess Tournament Trivia page: http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com/a... Michael Rhode won two prizes for the SAME game in the 7th round of the 1987 US Championship against Jay Whitehead: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/01/24/... This poor fellow (Lutz Espig of East Germany) LOST two prize-winners in the same tournament: https://www.nytimes.com/1972/06/25/... Otherwise, it's difficult to find examples of one player winning two brilliancy prizes in the same tournament. Not every tournament would have offered such an opportunity! Fredthebear must award a prize to the lady on the left.

Now that's upbeat!
Here is her second prize!! https://tartajubow.blogspot.com/202...
Age is just a number. |
