May-23-11 Kiss vs Barcza, 1934    Operation Mindcrime: This game appears in Fred Reinfeld's "Great Short Games of the Chess Masters", but white is listed as "Amateur", which isn't quite as romantic as "Kiss" :-) Good mate at the end.      May-20-11 A J Goldsby vs H Charry, 2011    Operation Mindcrime: Interesting game, to say the least. Unusual opening choice for Black with 2...♘c6, which is playable but rather out of fashion. Nice middle-game battle with some sharp tactics that I need to still figure out at leisure. I thought White's pawn-storm on the ...      Feb-28-11 J Tambini vs V Jones, 2010    Operation Mindcrime: Good one, though it took me a little time to calculate it to the end. The idea of a ♖ sacrifice followed by mate with the ♕ is fairly common on the king-side (with ♖h1 being the key), but this was an interesting variation. The bishop at g7 helps deliver      Feb-21-11 E Post vs F Lee, 1905    Operation Mindcrime: Nice one. The position of the white knights (and the defence of the e8-square by the White ♖) made me think of a smothered mate, but it took me a while to figure it out entirely.      Feb-14-11 J Hart vs J Silman, 1991    Operation Mindcrime: Very nice finish with ♘xa2! Interesting final position for the unfortunate white ♕ - White overextended himself in this game and paid the price for it.      Feb-14-11 Knaak vs V Zilberstein, 1979    Operation Mindcrime: There's an interesting story about this game narrated by Leonard Barden. If I remember it correctly, the game was being adjourned after White's 41st move, with Knaak somewhat behind on material (a ♖ and ♗ to Black's ♕ and two ♙s) but with a good ...      Aug-11-09 I Hatem    Operation Mindcrime: SMS speak. I'm a purist that way...      Aug-11-09 W Popert vs Cochrane, 1841    Operation Mindcrime: Got it almost immediately, but it's an unusual mating position that I haven't seen before myself. Nice puzzle. White played a little too eccentrically, and paid the penalty.      Mar-03-09 Kolisch vs S Loyd, 1867    Operation Mindcrime: Easy and nice theme here. ♕xg6!! opens the h-file, after which the quiet ♖f3! leaves Black helpless against ♖h3#. All he can do to postpone mate is a few spite moves...      Mar-02-09 N Sakr vs Ali Atwi, 2001    Operation Mindcrime: Nice puzzle. I saw the ♕xc8! idea immediately, but it took me some time to see the deflection ♖h8+!!, which forces a knight fork and leaves white a ♘ ahead.      Feb-14-09 Leyun Wang vs T Palmer, 2009    Jan-09-09 Breyer vs G Foldes, 1914     Jan-06-09 Speelman vs S Conquest, 1981    Jan-06-09 Najdorf vs NN, 1942     Jan-06-09 Plaskett vs J Emms, 1986     Dec-19-08 Keene vs A Joselyne, 1962     Dec-11-08 A Nickel vs The World, 2008     Aug-12-08 G Thomas vs Colle, 1925     Aug-10-08 Szabo vs Denker, 1946     Aug-05-08 Motylev vs A Czebe, 2008     Aug-04-08 W Paulsen vs Anderssen, 1878     Jul-28-08 Vladimir Kramnik     Jul-23-08 Judit Polgar     Jul-22-08 Carlsen vs Bacrot, 2008     Jul-21-08 Iverhov vs Ilianako, 1957     Jul-03-08 Kupreichik vs A Yusupov, 1987     Jul-01-08 Keres vs V Rootare, 1942     Jun-23-08 S Dubois vs G Kushelev-Bezborodko, 1858     Jun-23-08 Keres vs R G Wade, 1954     Mar-30-08 Nunn vs Fedorowicz, 1991     Mar-10-08 E Schiller vs N Nip, 2007     Feb-12-08 Alexander Petrov     Feb-11-08 E Diemer vs R A Fuller, 1957     Feb-04-08 Reshevsky vs E D Duncan, 1921     Feb-02-08 Garry Kasparov     Dec-18-07 Dunbar vs Chawkin, 1925     Dec-02-07 K Georgiev vs C Ionescu, 1986     Nov-19-07 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 2007     Nov-18-07 Kramnik vs Mamedyarov, 2007     Nov-17-07 Kupreichik vs Sveshnikov, 1986     Nov-12-07 Kramnik vs Leko, 2007     Nov-11-07 I Ivanov vs V Mezentsev, 2000     Nov-09-07 B Verlinsky vs Levenfish, 1924     Nov-08-07 Korchnoi vs Averbakh, 1959     Nov-07-07 Ljubojevic vs Kasparov, 1991     Nov-07-07 Gligoric vs F Olafsson, 1958     Oct-29-07 I Farago vs V Bliumberg, 1994     Jan-02-07 W Schelfhout vs Maroczy, 1920     Dec-04-06 Eliskases vs Bogoljubov, 1939     Nov-24-06 W N Watson vs J Littlewood, 1991     Nov-23-06 Jessie Gilbert     Nov-20-06 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)     Nov-20-06 Karpov - Korchnoi World Championship Match (1981)     Nov-20-06 W Rudolf vs NN, 1912     Nov-19-06 E Grobe vs A Johnsson, 1986     Nov-17-06 Kraussold vs Volt, 1921     Nov-13-06 Chulkov vs Gavemann, 1947     Nov-09-06 Pagan vs Blackburne, 1883     Nov-07-06 Hodgson vs Psakhis, 1994     Nov-06-06 B Thorfinnsson vs E Player, 1999     Nov-05-06 Arianne Caoili     Nov-05-06 R Levit vs T Hamarat, 1975     Oct-31-06 G Milos vs J Yrjola, 1984     Oct-23-06 Gunsberg vs Janowski, 1902     Oct-09-06 F Hendriks vs G Welling, 1977     Oct-05-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     Oct-05-06 Topalov vs Ponomariov, 2005     Oct-03-06 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937     Oct-03-06 Boris Spassky     Oct-02-06 Barcza vs Tal, 1971     Oct-02-06 Tal vs Letelier, 1963     Oct-02-06 Lasker vs J Bauer, 1889     Oct-02-06 Bird vs Morphy, 1858     Oct-02-06 G Kuzmin vs Sveshnikov, 1973     Oct-02-06 Tal vs Korchnoi, 1958     Oct-02-06 Bogoljubov vs L Schmid, 1949     Oct-02-06 G Andruet vs Spassky, 1988     Oct-02-06 B Larsen vs Petrosian, 1966     Oct-02-06 Benjamin vs Kamsky, 1991     Oct-02-06 L A Tan vs Smyslov, 1973     Oct-02-06 S Polgar vs A Beliavsky, 1991    Oct-02-06 Velimirovic vs A Lukic, 1964     Oct-02-06 F Teed vs E Delmar, 1896     Oct-02-06 Capablanca vs J Baca Arus, 1912     Oct-02-06 B Larsen vs J Bednarski, 1967
