Apr-08-17 G Kuzmin vs A Groszpeter, 1990    Salaskan: <cheapo by the dozen> After 20.Bh6 simply Qxe4. I missed that too      Jun-07-11 F Lambert vs H Howe, 1875    Salaskan: Most far-fetched pun ever :p      May-19-11 B Lalic vs Khalifman, 1997    Salaskan: 17.Qe4! Ba3+ 18.Kd2 Nxb6 19.Qxb7 Bc5 20.Nd5 Rxa2+ 21.Kd1 0-0 22.Nxb6 Bxb6 23.Qxb6 Nc6 [DIAGRAM] Here black has only a rook and a pawn for the queen but a large positional advantage and this is analyzed to a draw by Nunn. Awesome.      May-17-11 Rosenberg vs Tartakower, 1954   Salaskan: The four queens variation only works for white if he has played 8.Be2 instead of Bd3 since he can then play 14.Nd2 without losing the d4 pawn.      Apr-26-11 Karpov vs Kavalek, 1974    Salaskan: <ToTheDeath><<19... Bxd5?> appears to be a significant inaccuracy, allowing Karpov to squeeze indefinitely. Perhaps 19...h5 with a passive but solid game is better.> What else do you suggest? Karpov was going to continue with Nf4 and h5 when black can't do ...      Apr-20-11 Mikhail Tal    Salaskan: 'To play for a draw, at any rate with white, is to some degree a crime against chess.' -Tal http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...      Apr-13-11 T Dao vs Kasparov, 2001    Salaskan: White clearly isn't worse after move 16, and he should've been content with a draw against an opponent rated almost 300 points higher (2572-2838), but he took a risk by allowing Kasparov's queen near his central king, obviously met by immediate punishment :) puzzle was kinda ...      Apr-07-11 A Sokolov vs Nunn, 1989   Salaskan: Fritz thinks white can win by playing 30.Rg2 instead of repeating, meeting Qxf4 with 31.Re1 Qxd2 (Bh5? 32.Rxe8 Bxe8 33.Qxa6 ) 32.Reg1! (threatening Rg8+ and Qf6+/Qxg7#) so black has to play Bf3 33.Qxf3 Qh6 with a clearly ...      Apr-05-11 Smyslov vs Botvinnik, 1957    Salaskan: Actually this was a great game by Smyslov. 13.dxc5 with the simple Nd5 plan was called 'inoffensive' by Botvinnik according to Marin, but he got into trouble in game 10 of this match when he came under pressure after ...Be6 (preventing Nd5) with a4 and Ng5/h4. Botvinnik deviated in      Mar-16-11 Smyslov vs Karpov, 1988    Salaskan: Brilliant game.      Mar-15-11 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2011     Mar-13-11 A Tsvetkov vs Smyslov, 1947     Mar-12-11 Bologan vs Kramnik, 2004    Mar-10-11 J Polgar vs Gelfand, 1997    Mar-09-11 Karpov vs Z Ilincic, 1996    Mar-09-11 Shirov vs Kramnik, 1998    Mar-04-11 Kamsky vs Karpov, 1996    Mar-02-11 Anand vs Pelletier, 2007    Mar-02-11 Anand vs M Gurevich, 2006    Mar-01-11 Petrosian vs Balashov, 1974     Feb-28-11 Bacrot vs J Sikora-Lerch, 2003    Feb-15-11 Ivanchuk vs Fedorov, 2000     Feb-12-11 R Vasquez Schroeder vs F Vallejo Pons, 2004     Feb-11-11 Bareev vs V Akopian, 2004    Feb-11-11 S Kindermann vs Adams, 1990    Feb-08-11 Tiviakov vs Kasparov, 2001     Feb-06-11 R Antonio vs H Abdullah, 2010    Feb-06-11 Kaidanov vs W J Donaldson, 1992     Jan-22-11 Kramnik vs Svidler, 2009    Jan-20-11 C Covington vs Shabalov, 1993    Jan-20-11 Topalov vs Kasparov, 1999     Jan-18-11 Leko vs Shirov, 2002    Jan-15-11 Anand vs Kasparov, 2000    Jan-15-11 A Yusupov vs Anand, 1991     Jan-15-11 Ftacnik vs Topalov, 1995    Jan-13-11 Kramnik vs Anand, 1994     Jan-13-11 Staunton vs Horwitz, 1846     Jan-12-11 Ponomariov vs H Wang, 2007    Jan-10-11 A Nimzowitsch vs Capablanca, 1927     Jan-09-11 Karpov vs Spassky, 1974     Jan-09-11 Karpov vs Spassky, 1974     Jan-09-11 Karpov vs Hort, 1971     Jan-08-11 Korchnoi vs Petrosian, 1975     Jan-08-11 A Yusupov vs Van der Wiel, 1982     Jan-08-11 Ivanchuk vs Kasimdzhanov, 2004    Jan-08-11 Ivanchuk vs Gelfand, 1997    Jan-08-11 Ivanchuk vs Ehlvest, 1996    Jan-08-11 Aronian vs Gelfand, 2009     Dec-27-10 Levon Aronian     Dec-26-10 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     Dec-26-10 G Sagalchik vs A Kovalev, 1987     Dec-24-10 Lasker vs S Polner, 1889     Dec-23-10 Euwe vs Bogoljubov, 1928    Dec-21-10 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 1992     Dec-19-10 Q Huang vs Y Wang, 1999     Dec-15-10 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1985     Dec-15-10 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Dec-13-10 D Howell vs Kramnik, 2002    Dec-03-10 H Vatter vs Nunn, 1986     Nov-25-10 Kramnik vs Anand, 2000    Nov-21-10 Bareev vs Kasparov, 1994     Nov-21-10 Euwe vs A van den Hoek, 1942    Nov-19-10 Y Wan vs S Abu Sufian, 2009     Nov-19-10 Polugaevsky vs Tal, 1971     Nov-19-10 Tal vs Polugaevsky, 1974    Nov-19-10 Tal vs Polugaevsky, 1977    Nov-14-10 J M Lopez Martinez vs M Narciso Dublan, 2008     Nov-13-10 Radjabov vs Shirov, 2008     Nov-08-10 Carlsen vs H Harestad, 2003     Oct-21-10 Botvinnik vs Capablanca, 1938     Oct-21-10 Y Quesada Perez vs A Graf, 2008     Jul-13-09 Ruy Lopez vs G da Cutri, 1560     Apr-18-09 E MacDonald vs Burn, 1910     Feb-07-09 Svidler vs Adams, 2000     Feb-07-09 McDonnell vs La Bourdonnais, 1834     Feb-01-09 Smeets vs Dominguez Perez, 2009     Feb-01-09 Corus Group A (2009)     Jan-31-09 A Nimzowitsch vs Euwe, 1929     Jan-29-09 Radjabov vs Smeets, 2009     Jan-25-09 Ivanchuk vs Karjakin, 2009     Jan-24-09 Morozevich vs Smeets, 2009     Jan-24-09 Kamsky vs Stellwagen, 2009     Jan-24-09 Movsesian vs Adams, 2009     Jan-21-09 Kaidanov vs Anand, 1987     Jan-21-09 Short vs L'Ami, 2009     Jan-21-09 Carlsen vs Stellwagen, 2004     Jan-20-09 Smeets vs Kamsky, 2009     Jan-18-09 Ivanchuk vs Smeets, 2009     Jan-18-09 Y Wang vs Ivanchuk, 2009     Jan-18-09 Anand vs Macieja, 2000     Nov-29-08 F de Castellvi vs N Vinyoles, 1475     Oct-27-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Oct-23-08 Alekhine vs N Kampars, 1935    Oct-21-08 Capablanca vs Maroczy, 1926     Oct-21-08 Battle of the Brains II, 2008     Oct-21-08 Anand vs Kramnik, 2008     Oct-21-08 Alekhine vs Supico, 1941     Aug-24-08 Speelman vs M Stangl, 1994     Aug-19-08 H Ibrahim vs Sadvakasov, 1995     Aug-17-08 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1962     Aug-17-08 Van Wely vs J Piket, 1996     Aug-15-08 D Aldrich vs S Sloan, 2007     Aug-12-08 G Thomas vs Colle, 1925     Aug-11-08 I Kan vs A Bannik, 1952     Jul-20-08 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925     Jul-07-08 I Khamrakulova vs E Ubiennykh, 2001     Jul-03-08 Kramnik vs Carlsen, 2008     Jul-03-08 A Strikovic vs B Kurajica, 1994     Jul-02-08 Carlsen vs A Beliavsky, 2006     Jun-27-08 J Pelaez vs A de Dovitiis, 1993     Jun-25-08 Euwe vs G Thomas, 1946     Jun-09-08 Averbakh vs Spassky, 1956     Jun-07-08 J Polgar vs Anand, 1991     Jun-06-08 Sihombing Hotland vs P Hoareau, 1997    Jun-06-08 Timman vs Korchnoi, 1991     May-31-08 Tartakower vs Euwe, 1948     May-31-08 Unzicker vs Fischer, 1960     May-30-08 Alburt vs Dlugy, 1982     May-28-08 Barsov vs J Amesz, 1999    May-27-08 Geller vs P Ostojic, 1969     May-09-08 E Tate vs T Braunlich, 2001     May-09-08 Kmoch vs Euwe, 1941    May-08-08 Koltanowski vs T Allen, 1960     May-08-08 J L Watson vs Z Fayvinov, 1993
