KID Slayer has kibitzed 34 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jul-24-20 Ding Liren vs Nakamura, 2020   KID Slayer: A stellar and model game of how to crush the KID with the Bayonet, especially in the 9...Ne8 line that has been gaining traction lately.      Jul-24-20 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1970    KID Slayer: Games like this raise the question as to why players with Black didn't use the French against Fischer more often. If I'm not mistaken it was his toughest opening to play against, especially the Winawer.      Aug-31-19 B Vandermeulen vs V Napalkov, 2008    KID Slayer: Very poorly played game on Black's part. First he closes up the White king's surroundings from any potential break with 18...a3?, and then he aimlessly shuffles his rook back and forth while ignoring the chance to snatch White's bishop on d3. Not to mention how he allows White to      Aug-31-19 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    KID Slayer: <beatgiant> I agree with you entirely. There's a video that points out that 29...Bxh2 was in fact a blunder from the get-go and provides a plethora of variations showing Spassky always comes out on top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8D...      Aug-26-19 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1978    KID Slayer: Excellent finish by Viktor my all-time fave! Reminds me of the classic Capa-Tartakower match of 1924 with 49.Kc3! that takes the rook-and-pawn ending in real style.      Aug-16-19 S Tatai vs Korchnoi, 1978    KID Slayer: Few games are more satisfying than seeing White get pummeled in the French Exchange just like Korchnoi humiliates his opponent here.      Jan-13-19 Viktor Korchnoi    KID Slayer: Viktor is undoubtedly my favorite player ever. I admire his style to counterattack more aggressive folks like Tal or outmaneuver his equally positional foes such as Karpov. His games using the French as Black and beating the KID as White especially stand out to me. My faves are ...      Aug-04-16 G W Moses vs Rubinstein, 1924    KID Slayer: Awesome how that bishop trapped the knight on the edge for the rest of the game.      Jul-22-16 J McConnell vs Morphy, 1850    KID Slayer: My favorite player from the 19th century, Morphy, uses my favorite opening, the French, on a rare occasion. Quite the demolition from a guy who favored the Open Game and rarely ventured into the French (in less than 15 moves!).      Jul-20-16 M Bartel vs Nepomniachtchi, 2015    KID Slayer: Where's the GOTD for today? This game was put up again on the front page.      Jul-05-16 A Nimzowitsch vs H Johner, 1931     Jun-30-16 B Harper vs R Zuk, 1971     May-08-16 W Pollock vs E Hall, 1890     Apr-17-16 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1970     Mar-13-16 Robert Burger     Feb-10-16 So vs Nakamura, 2015     Feb-05-16 So vs Ding Liren, 2015     Feb-04-16 J Gallagher vs A Compton, 2014     Jan-25-16 Barcza vs B Soos, 1962     Dec-17-15 A Beliavsky vs A S Hagen, 2013    Dec-10-15 F Berend vs S Coffey, 1982     Nov-24-15 E Prie vs M Santo-Roman, 1997     Nov-22-15 Khismatullin vs M Al-Modiahki, 2013    Aug-28-15 Ding Liren vs S Li, 2009    Aug-24-15 Steinitz vs von Bardeleben, 1895     Aug-20-15 King's Indian (E97)    Jul-24-15 Kramnik vs Giri, 2011    Jul-24-15 Navara vs Wojtaszek, 2015     Jun-21-15 Keres vs Hort, 1972     Jun-15-15 Van Wely vs Radjabov, 2009     Jun-10-15 Alekhine vs James Madison HS, 1932     May-23-15 Fischer vs Tal, 1959     May-16-15 Anand vs Nakamura, 2011
