backrank has kibitzed 378 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jan-27-24 Hans Niemann    backrank: >>Here is a video of him saying he will become the first American World Champion<< Probably he meant to say: the first American World Champion who will achieve that title by cheating.      May-19-22 Euwe vs H Johner, 1955    backrank: White's 39th move was Tcc1, not Tac1, otherwise 40. c7, followed by Black's resignation, would make no sense.      Sep-21-19 Capablanca vs E Penteado, 1927    backrank: Totally strange to see Capa lose like this :-/      Jul-28-19 Tarrasch vs Schlechter, 1911    backrank: 39... Re3+ isn't better, either: 40. Qxe3 dxe3 41. Rc8+ Kh7 42. Bc2+ Kh6 43. Rh8+ and mate next move.      Jul-05-16 A Nimzowitsch vs H Johner, 1931    backrank: A little-known game which has been an old favorite by mine for long. 17. Nc5 seems to be impossible due to Rb5. Surely Black has foreseen that Nxd7 can be answered by Qxa1. But Nimzo had calculated a lot further ...      Jun-25-16 AVRO (1938)    backrank: >> AylerKupp: <<offramp> Am I alone in thinking that Kasparov is a better politician than he is a chess player?> You probably aren't. But you and others who share the same opinion should consider that if Kasparov was a better politician than he is a chess player ...      Jun-07-16 Viktor Korchnoi    backrank: <gars: I ask myself: are there games in which he sacrifices his Queen? If so, I do not know a single one.> Here is one: Hug vs Korchnoi, 1978 Of course, it's not typical for Korchnoi's style, albeit brilliant.      Jul-30-14 Aronian vs V Popov, 2005    backrank: I have submitted a correction note; now we have to wait if there is any response to it (to my experience, usually there is none).      Jul-20-14 Spielmann vs Flamberg, 1914    backrank: Spielmann made a tarte flambee out of Flamberg.      Mar-22-14 Ponomariov vs Kramnik, 2010    backrank: One of the great games of the 21st century. 16 Bxd5!! is a stunning move, and 19 e6! is a worthy follow-up.      Jan-25-14 Bill Gates vs Carlsen, 2014     Nov-26-13 Huebner vs K Rogoff, 1972     Nov-24-13 Marshall vs Lasker, 1907     Nov-19-13 Capablanca vs F S Dunkelsbuhler, 1913     Sep-08-13 Peter Leko     Aug-26-13 V Matchabelli vs A Dadian, 1880     Jul-07-13 Uhlmann vs H Liebert, 1976     May-29-13 Zvjaginsev vs Bologan, 2010     May-29-13 Wolfgang Heidenfeld     May-20-13 Pilnik vs Najdorf, 1942     May-18-13 Edgard Colle     May-05-13 Rudolf Spielmann     Mar-27-13 Tartakower vs Spielmann, 1926     Mar-14-13 Pillsbury vs Swiderski, 1902     Mar-10-13 Fred Reinfeld     Feb-20-13 Keres vs F Sachsenmaier, 1934     Feb-18-13 Alekhine vs B Verlinsky, 1918     Feb-02-13 Tarrasch vs G Marco, 1898     Jan-03-13 Flohr vs R Pitschak, 1930     Jan-02-13 Petrosian vs Benko, 1963     Jan-02-13 Bronstein vs Najdorf, 1954     Nov-12-12 D Antic vs D Milanovic, 1996     Oct-15-12 Portisch vs Petrosian, 1978     Oct-12-12 Tarrasch vs Crusius / Ulrich / Wendt, 1907     Sep-30-12 Petrosian vs A Sidorov, 1950     Sep-23-12 Janowski vs A Nimzowitsch, 1914     Sep-23-12 A Gromer vs I Vistaneckis, 1931     Sep-22-12 Petrosian vs H Lehmann, 1960    Sep-10-12 Bronstein vs Kotov, 1950     Sep-06-12 Antoshin vs Hort, 1960     Sep-04-12 Simagin vs K Muchnik, 1959     Sep-04-12 B Koch vs Bogoljubov, 1935    Aug-28-12 Gilg vs A Nimzowitsch, 1926     Aug-28-12 A Nimzowitsch vs E V Nielsen, 1930     Aug-27-12 Nathan Mannheimer     Aug-27-12 H I Woolverton vs D B Pritchard, 1959     Aug-26-12 Morphy vs NN, 1857     Aug-25-12 P Johner vs A Nimzowitsch, 1926     Aug-23-12 Petrosian vs Taimanov, 1955     Aug-22-12 A Dueckstein vs Petrosian, 1962     Aug-19-12 Petrosian vs A Nielsen, 1960     Aug-18-12 J Pizzi vs Euwe, 1947     Aug-18-12 Aganalian vs Petrosian, 1945     Aug-17-12 Tolush vs Smyslov, 1944     Aug-16-12 Rossolimo vs P Reissmann, 1967     Aug-14-12 Ragozin vs P Romanovsky, 1927     Aug-13-12 Bronstein vs E Rojahn, 1956     Aug-13-12 Petrosian vs Kopelevic, 1942     Aug-12-12 A Chistiakov vs Petrosian, 1956     Aug-12-12 Carlos Guimard     Aug-10-12 Keres vs Petrov, 1940     Aug-10-12 Petrosian vs I Aramanovich, 1949    Aug-10-12 Gilg vs Tarrasch, 1926    Aug-09-12 Lubomir Kavalek     Aug-09-12 Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1946     Aug-09-12 Petrosian vs I Pogrebissky, 1949     Aug-08-12 Petrosian vs C Guimard, 1955     Aug-07-12 Kiss vs Barcza, 1934     Aug-07-12 Morphy vs A Meek, 1855     Aug-07-12 V Malinin vs V Savinov, 1988     Aug-07-12 Barcza vs O Troianescu, 1948     Aug-06-12 Petrosian vs Pachman, 1961     Aug-06-12 Petrosian vs P Vaitonis, 1952     Aug-06-12 Petrosian vs H Corral, 1954     Aug-05-12 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1959     Aug-05-12 Klovans vs Spassky, 1963     Aug-05-12 Petrosian vs Aronin, 1961     Aug-04-12 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Aug-04-12 Petrosian vs S Schweber, 1962     Aug-03-12 K Rogoff vs Reshevsky, 1974     Aug-03-12 Ed.
