Nov-05-13 Keene vs N J Kalton, 1963    Bartimaeus: Black seems to be preparing for a long castle in this position which is not yet quite out of the opening. The material is equal and black also has a pin on the white knight. However, this pin is shallow and a tactical weakness which can be exploited. Bxf7+ is too tempting to ...      Nov-01-13 B Vladimirov vs Simagin, 1963    Bartimaeus: A very interesting middle game position today. Though material is equal, there are some nice positional imbalances. White rules the h-file and post Rh8+, the king can be driven into an uncomfortable position. Black threatens the Queen and through it the weak b2 pawn. However, the      Oct-30-13 R Nezhmetdinov vs Lengyel, 1963    Bartimaeus: The black king is nicely trapped in the middle of a well-spun web by White. Sacs don't really finish the job. However, the Knight check is a powerful move driving the King to either mate or ending up losing the Queen via discovered check. A) 50. Nd5+ Kd6/7/8 51. Nxb4+ and the ...      Oct-29-13 Janowski vs J Morrison, 1923    Bartimaeus: Though material is equal, White's R-Q-R battery in the centre is quite disruptive. However, brute force exchanges cause White to wind up on the losing end. A look at other pieces highlights the beautiful Bh6+ which diverts the Knight from its crucial defensive position and wins ...      Oct-28-13 Ponomariov vs Grischuk, 1994    Bartimaeus: With so many pieces raking the black kingside, heavy pieces playing spectator on the Queenside and the black king totally boxed in, it's just a matter of wrapping things up. Nxg6+ does it neatly. 23. Nxg6+ hxg6 24. Qh4+ Bh6 25. Qxh6# Wonder how Grischuk got into such a mess so ...      Oct-25-13 R Byrne vs Gligoric, 1963    Bartimaeus: <rickster13 : what if black 24. Qxc1?> 23. Bxc5 Bxg2 24. Bxb6 Qxc1 25. Qxc1 Rdc8 26. Nxg2 Rxc1 27. Rxc1 axb6 28. d7 with the imminent threat of Rc8+ (Na7 fails to Rc7) There doesn't seem to be an easy way to prevent the pawn Queening without losing material and black's DSB ...      Oct-24-13 Rubinstein vs M Hirschbein, 1927    Bartimaeus: Interesting middlegame position today. White is behind a pawn but if his Knight can get to f6, then he can cause real bother. Moreover, the long diagonal is commanded by the Queen. Evaluating these aspects, enabling Nf6+ seems critical but that is infeasible because of the Knight      Oct-22-13 Smyslov vs N Padevsky, 1963    Bartimaeus: White has built up a terrific position with black's army running around in disjointed fashion. There is nice threat of winning Black's queen if white can move his Knight away with a check. However, black has his counter threat of Nf3+ forking Queen and King and this has to be ...      Oct-21-13 Shirov vs M Al Sayed, 2013    Bartimaeus: Rook sac today instead of the traditional Queen sac. No difference to the outcome though. Black's mated quite neatly. 32. Ra4+ Kxa4 33. Rxa6#      Oct-18-13 A Kapengut vs Tukmakov, 1963    Bartimaeus: A queenless middlegame position today. Though material is equal, Black has boxed the White king into a corner. If black can castle, then he'd really be able to get all pieces swarming on the white king. This could either lead to mate or winning of major material. However, black's      Oct-17-13 Nakamura vs Seirawan, 2012     Oct-16-13 A I Zakharov vs A Bannik, 1963     Oct-15-13 H Schussler vs L Kristensen, 1976     Oct-14-13 V Soultanbeieff vs NN, 1923
