MaczynskiPratten has kibitzed 362 times to chessgames   [less...]

Sep-05-23 Fischer vs Panno, 1970    MaczynskiPratten: Several comments on this page miss the point that Panno had announced in advance his intention not to turn up because of scheduling problems, and thus effectively resign. Covered in various books and also on earlier pages of kibitzing. So Fischer only played 1 c4 rather ...      Aug-07-23 Vocaturo vs R Di Paolo, 2010    MaczynskiPratten: Surprised that Black resigned immediately but maybe he was fed up at having been under the cosh for so long and White finding a significant breakthrough, since he has no real counterplay.      Aug-07-23 E Meduna vs V Inkiov, 1988   MaczynskiPratten: <Pawn Slayer><Allderdice83> There seems to be a tweak to the final line after the actual Nf2+ that makes it even more decisive. After 44 Qxf2 d4+ 45 Qg2, Bxg2+ seems stronger than Rxg2, as White's R is pinned. 46 Kg1 Be4+! 47 Kf2 Rf3+! There are various ...      Aug-06-23 Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858    MaczynskiPratten: <DouglasGomes>; Must admit I can't see an artistic alternative to Bxa6, settling for wrecking Black's pawn structure, otherwise Nc5 looks useful for Black. The c6 pawn does a useful job in preventing Nd5.      Aug-06-23 V Sournin vs Marshall, 1897    MaczynskiPratten: <King.Arthur.Brazil> I think Rxg2 is at least as good as Bb7, as in the line you mention, White can still play 36 Rxf3 rather than Bxf3, transposing to the game.      Aug-06-23 S S Dodge vs J Houghteling, 1905   MaczynskiPratten: <generror> Neat, I like it!      Sep-22-22 La Bourdonnais vs McDonnell, 1834    MaczynskiPratten: Agree with dumbgai that 15 Qxe3 looks the best chance in view of what then happens to white. But then we would have been denied this beautiful game!      Sep-12-22 A Matanovic vs Rossolimo, 1951    MaczynskiPratten: Black has a quicker final win after 50 ... Nfg3+ 51 Kg2 Ne4 52 Bd3 Nxf6 53 exf6 Nd4 followed by c2 winning the Bishop.      Aug-31-22 J Littlewood vs Botvinnik, 1961    MaczynskiPratten: Equally entertaining from the same tournament, and with a more successful result, is Bisguier vs J E Littlewood, 1962 .      Aug-31-22 A Bisguier vs J Littlewood, 1962   MaczynskiPratten: A very entertaining game, I would love to see more analysis. I wasn't convinced by 16 d5. Thought White would continue 16 e5 but I guess Black will play the forced sacrifice Nxe5 and have tremendous pressure. But I thought 16 Be3 might help stabilise things temporarily ...      May-19-20 R Byrne vs Evans, 1965     May-16-20 Capablanca vs Golombek, 1939     May-16-20 Capablanca vs Brooklyn CC, 1931
