Mar-12-24 D Przepiorka vs Alekhine, 1922
|
DanQuigley: How do you keep your opponent from resigning? The same way any supervisor would: refuse to accept it. Presumably Przepiorka at adjournment wrote down a move on a piece of paper that was then sealed in an envelope. At the resumption of play the envelope would be opened, the ... |

Oct-04-23 Geller vs Fischer, 1970 
|
DanQuigley: No post with a chess move since July 2020. Clearly those who can't don't. At the risk of boring self-aggrandizing drama queens who normally pollute the air space here, let me just discuss the game. I don't understand what Geller could possibly have been thinking with the move ... |

Sep-01-23 A J Goldsby 
|
DanQuigley: When we played together in 1987 and traveled together your sighted game was more than I could handle. If only I had thought to request you be blindfolded. Wait a minute. It comes back to me now. We both tried to play a game or two without sight of a board on a car trip to a ... |

Aug-31-23 Kasparov vs P Wolff, 1988
|
DanQuigley: GM Ben Finegold did a nice 45-minute YouTube video on GM Patrick Wolff that featured this game in 2021. He really elucidated the tactics. It's worth seeking out. |

Jul-12-23 Grunfeld, Russian Variation (D81)
|
DanQuigley: The reason to play the move order 4.Qb3 (instead of 4.Nf3 Bg7 first) is that after 4...dxc4 5.Qxc4 (this move always protects d4 adequately) 5...Bg7 6.e4 0-0 is that White can now play 7.Be2 and avoid the 7.Nf3 Bg4 line via transposition: 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Qb3 dxc4 6.Qxc4 0-0 7.e4 Bg4. |

Jun-07-23 Greco vs NN, 1620
|
DanQuigley: One of the questions I like to ask myself when going over games such as this is, "When is the latest point the losing player could have played a different move and had a reasonable expectation of staving off loss if both players were grandmaster strength?" My candidate is Black's |

May-20-23 Rubinstein vs G Bartoszkiewicz, 1897
|
DanQuigley: You know, one would think that with computers and after all this time a consensus would have been reached regarding the position after Black's tenth move, but it is still not at all clear whose position is to be preferred. |

Dec-12-22 Tarrasch vs Mendelson, 1879
|
DanQuigley: Tarrasch himself noted alternative moves late in the game and annotated them in Three Hundred Chess Games (1894): If instead 27…gxf5, or 27…Nxf5, White will play 28.Nxf7. Should Black decide to take the exchange by 27…Nxf1, White retains a very strong attack using all his ... |

Nov-21-22 Teichmann vs J Mieses, 1924 
|
DanQuigley: About the Berlin 1924 tournament, according to Winter: "One of the last tournaments of the year was a small double-round, four-man event in Berlin on 9-17 December, unexpectedly won by P. Johner of Switzerland ahead of Rubinstein, Teichmann and Mieses. (It was the final ... |
