acme has kibitzed 68 times to chessgames   [less...]

Feb-05-12 Anand vs Kramnik, 2009   acme: With 36. Ne1, I think Vishy had the Ne1-d3-c5-d7 manoeuvre in mind. But once Vlad plays 37. Nf4, the other white N can simply move to c5 and threaten Nd7.      Jan-29-12 Pentala Harikrishna    acme: Well done Harikrishna for winning Tata Steel Group B. See you in Group A next year!      Jan-26-12 A Zinkl vs J Metger, 1897    acme: 23. Rf5! will force mate.      Jan-25-12 Charousek vs Skultety, 1891    acme: Why 17. Qe5? Why not the more forcing 17. Qg5+ Kd7 18. Qe7+ Kc6 19. Rf6+ Kb5 20. Qc5+ with mate next?      Jan-24-12 V Akopian vs Fressinet, 2010    acme: 37... Bc5 and it's curtains for white      Jan-12-12 M Godard vs M Karthikeyan, 2012   acme: Fine win by the u-12 world champion but white hardly plays like an IM. 27. Nd6 seems dubious and missing 28... Nc4 is quite silly.      Jan-11-12 Svidler vs M I Nepomnishay, 1996    acme: Nice analysis! I kept trying to make 15. Bg5 work. But even so I feel your line is better than the text. The final position is not clearly winning for white. Black can try to swap queens with 20... Bc6 and pick up the f7 pawn while the Bf1 remains uncomfortably pinned.      Aug-23-11 M Kolpakov vs A Nikitin, 1963   acme: Thanks a lot <MartijnvanWingerden>!      Aug-15-11 J Upmark vs R Johansson, 1995    acme: Thanks for the 12-move no capture stalemate <dzechiel>      Aug-07-11 Spassky vs H Niedermaier, 1986    acme: Oh never mind, I missed 9. ...Nxf6. The key here is the bishop on d6 which won't allow 10. Qe5+. This is the problem when you remember patterns and try to make moves intuitively!      Mar-23-11 J Smorenberg vs A Bhuiyan, 2000     Mar-12-11 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2011     Mar-12-11 Dvoirys vs S Poliantsev, 1987     Mar-09-11 Z Asefi vs A Stojanovic, 2011     Mar-09-11 Oksana Kryger     Mar-09-11 Y Vovk vs Sasikiran, 2011     Mar-04-11 A Pomar vs M Johansson, 1966     Feb-18-11 Vyzmanavin vs M Sorokin, 1985     Feb-17-11 S Prokofiev vs M Ravel, 1924     Feb-13-11 Khismatullin vs I Kurnosov, 2011     Feb-10-11 O Adu vs A Kim, 2008     Feb-10-11 L Lenic vs Le Quang Liem, 2011     Feb-09-11 I Cheparinov vs V Papin, 2011     Feb-07-11 T Shaked vs Spassky, 1998     Feb-02-11 Ivanchuk vs Jobava, 2005     Jan-29-11 Kramnik vs Carlsen, 2011     Jan-26-11 Botvinnik vs Capablanca, 1938     Jan-14-11 D Sermek vs S Polgar, 1994     Jan-05-11 Petrosian vs Lisitsin, 1954     Jan-04-11 Navara vs M Godena, 2011     Jan-03-11 I Ivakhinova vs V Gagarin, 2007     Dec-27-10 Lajos Steiner     Dec-27-10 Hort vs Tal, 1966     Dec-27-10 Shabalov vs W Kelleher, 1993    Dec-21-10 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1999     Dec-12-10 Lasker vs B Prikryl, 1900     Dec-09-10 Karjakin vs Anand, 2008    Dec-04-10 Kramnik vs Shirov, 1992     Dec-04-10 E Rousseau vs C Stanley, 1845     Dec-03-10 B Larsen vs Tal, 1965     Dec-02-10 Vaidyanathan Ravikumar     Dec-01-10 S Mieses vs Anderssen, 1863     Nov-29-10 J Mieses vs A Schottlaender, 1888     Nov-22-10 N Pogonina vs V Nebolsina, 2010     Nov-19-10 Mamedyarov vs Kramnik, 2010    Nov-13-10 Shirov vs Eljanov, 2010     Nov-13-10 Radjabov vs Shirov, 2008     Oct-30-10 Shirov vs Kasparov, 2002     Oct-22-10 Shirov vs D Andreikin, 2010     Oct-22-10 E Alekseev vs Grischuk, 2010    Oct-19-10 Karjakin vs A Tukhaev, 2010     Oct-19-10 A Hamming vs Gilg, 1936     Oct-12-10 Grand Slam Chess Final (2010)     Oct-05-10 I Chelushkina vs N Kosintseva, 2010     Oct-04-10 Pelletier vs Sasikiran, 2010    Oct-01-10 H Stevic vs Shirov, 2010    Sep-25-10 I Sokolov vs Ivanchuk, 2010     Sep-24-10 Nepomniachtchi vs Sasikiran, 2010     Sep-24-10 Adams vs K Solomon, 2010     Sep-23-10 I Sokolov vs Adams, 2010
