Dec-07-08 B Mathews vs J Subervi, 2008    black knight c6: 29...Be2 30. Qxe2 Qxd6 31. Rh6 also looks ok, not sure whether ... f6 or Kg7 looks better, I can see good lines for white in both. I love how white keeps on putting his rooks right next to the black king, but they're all poisonous.      Oct-21-08 K Siembos vs T Gelashvili, 2001    black knight c6: A more interesting point to me then the 20 or so explanations of the puzzle move (do we need that many....) Can anyone explain the exact reasoning behind a move like 13. ... Bxe2 ? This is the sort of move I am most interested in.      Mar-19-08 Shulman vs The World, 2007    black knight c6: Thanks Karpova, I'm pretty sure I looked at c3 again but I can't have looked nearly enough. Interesting combination for that game then!      Mar-14-08 A Compton vs S Reichard, 2008    black knight c6: I am pretty sure either Be5+ or Bxd6 wins by force through such threats as Rf7+, e5 and Qd3+, etc. I like Bxd6 the best. An engine would probably sort this out in a matter of minutes.      Mar-14-08 C Bauer vs V Malakhov, 1999    black knight c6: <xrt999>As <<eternaloptimist>> said, its a transposed dutch going into the stonewalsih type variation.      Mar-14-08 Caruana vs K Arakhamia-Grant, 2008   black knight c6: I'd say the game is over after 33. Nd5 if not sooner. After this move it becomes clear that white's minor pieces will become useful, and black's useless. Black's good minor piece, his white bishop, must be traded off for a knight, after which his black bishop and knight are ...      Feb-10-08 Zvjaginsev vs S Slugin, 2008    black knight c6: On the 15. ... Nxe5 matter, what's wrong with white's variation here: 16. Nxe5 Bxe5 17. Bxe5 Qxe5 18. Rbe1 Qc7 (Qg7 19. Re7) (other queen moves may be possible here?) 19. Qg5 Be6 (any others?) 20. Rxe6 fxe6 21. Bxe6+ Kg7 22. Rxf8 Kxf8 23. Qf6+ Ke8 24. Qh8+ Ke7 25. Qg7+ Kd6 ...      Jan-20-08 New Haven vs Hartford, 1963    black knight c6: <mistreaver> My only guess is that white saw after the sac that he didn't have as big an attack as planned (as is so often the case) and his best move then was the queen trade. I think this is one of the best refutations to the king's gambit (which is sad because I ...      Jan-20-08 Smagin vs N Monin, 1986    black knight c6: <JG27Pyth> As in my and RandomVisitor's lines, 22. ... Rg6 is better, leading to a draw with 22.Bc2 Rg6 23.Bxg6 fxg6 24.Nf4 Qf6 25.Nxg6+ Kg8 26.Ne7+ Kh8 27.Ng6+ or perhaps something else with 25. ... Qxg6 26.Qxg6 Bxf2 27.Rxf2 Bxg6 28.Rd6 Kg7 which I was/am asking ...      Jan-06-08 A Greet vs B Chatalbashev, 2007    black knight c6: 9. e6 looks very interesting, but to my analysis leads to a forced draw by white, I don't think his attack is good enough, at least not that I can see. Alot of interesting forced lines though. My main line was 9. ... fxe6 10. Ng5 Nxd4 11. Bxg6 etc.      Jan-04-08 R Luscombe vs Keene, 1962     Jan-04-08 A Baburin vs S Fokin, 1989     Jan-02-08 Fischer vs L Barczay, 1967     Jan-01-08 I Nyzhnyk vs D Baider, 2006     Dec-31-07 Kasparov vs Deep Blue, 1996     Dec-26-07 Hyderabad vs Madras Chess Club, 1828     Dec-25-07 Kasparov vs G Gonda, 1988     Dec-25-07 J Metzger vs N Sprotte, 2001    Dec-10-07 Shredder vs Zappa, 2006    Dec-10-07 Kosteniuk vs L Bergez, 2001     Dec-04-07 Anand vs Bareev, 1993     Dec-01-07 Anand vs Van der Wiel, 1989     Dec-01-07 W D Evans vs McDonnell, 1829     Nov-26-07 Nisipeanu vs B Amin, 2007    Nov-26-07 Lasker vs Pillsbury, 1899     Nov-23-07 E Chukaev vs Tal, 1956     Nov-22-07 Naiditsch vs Carlsen, 2006     Nov-22-07 Carlsen vs Kamsky, 2007     Nov-14-07 O Ismailov vs Mamedyarov, 2001     Nov-14-07 N Davies vs C Duncan, 1999     Nov-04-07 Yudasin vs S Makarichev, 1983     Nov-03-07 Gipslis vs Bronstein, 1958     Oct-18-07 Bronstein vs Panno, 1954     Oct-16-07 Rybka vs Diep, 2007     Jul-25-07 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007     Jul-14-07 T L Petrosian vs P Smirnov, 2006     May-03-07 D Di Berardino vs A Fier, 2007    May-03-07 G Zeigler vs E Schiller, 1990     Apr-07-07 Short vs Sax, 1988     Apr-07-07 Bobotsov vs A Kolarov, 1971     Apr-07-07 L Christiansen vs L Gilden, 1976     Mar-13-07 Blackburne vs Grube / Burnett, 1871     Mar-13-07 Ribli vs Spassky, 1985     Mar-05-07 S Factor vs F M Currier, 1923     Feb-06-07 Velimirovic vs M Cebalo, 1984    Feb-06-07 Koltanowski vs A Dunkelblum, 1923     Feb-06-07 Smyslov vs D E Rumens, 1976     Feb-02-07 B Verlinsky vs I Rabinovich, 1925     Feb-02-07 A Karpov / Allies vs N Short / Allies, 2007     Feb-01-07 Blackburne vs NN, 1863     Jan-23-07 Kasparov vs D H Campora, 1988     Jan-22-07 Topalov vs Van Wely, 2003    Jan-17-07 A Jain vs R Norinkeviciute, 2007     Jan-17-07 R Jamieson vs Unzicker, 1976     Jan-17-07 H Rossetto vs J Sherwin, 1958     Dec-29-06 The World vs A Nickel, 2006     Dec-29-06 RandomVisitor chessforum     Dec-29-06 Eyal chessforum     Dec-29-06 Shredder vs Deep Gandalf, 2006    Dec-28-06 Deep Gandalf vs GridChess, 2006     Dec-28-06 Rybka vs Jonny, 2006     Dec-28-06 Shredder vs IsiChess, 2006    Dec-28-06 C Carls vs W Hilse, 1927     Dec-28-06 G Fridstein vs Aronin, 1949     Dec-13-06 E Inarkiev vs Nepomniachtchi, 2006     Dec-13-06 P Ravn vs J Kozma, 1957     Dec-13-06 E Thorold vs Blackburne, 1890     Dec-12-06 Keene vs B Jacobsen, 1983     Dec-12-06 Shamkovich vs Bronstein, 1971     Dec-10-06 Andersson vs Gheorghiu, 1981     Nov-28-06 D Przepiorka vs L Steiner, 1925     Nov-27-06 V Malakhov vs P H Nielsen, 2003     Nov-27-06 C Damant vs NN, 1932     Nov-16-06 Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907     Nov-15-06 M Konopka vs J Michalek, 2001    Nov-14-06 S Homa vs E Formanek, 2006     Nov-13-06 N A Legky vs D Fingerov, 2005     Nov-13-06 Alekhine vs Ecole Polytechnique Paris, 1925     Nov-13-06 NN vs P Leonhardt, 1903     Nov-13-06 Chulkov vs Gavemann, 1947     Nov-13-06 Leko vs Junior, 2000    Nov-12-06 Stein vs Tal, 1971     Nov-03-06 Levenfish vs S Gotthilf, 1924     Oct-15-06 I Rogers vs V Arapovic, 1985     Oct-11-06 Morphy vs Maurian, 1854     Apr-05-06 Lutikov vs Tal, 1955     Nov-24-05 F Berkes vs Mamedyarov, 2005     Nov-24-05 Mamedyarov vs M Krivokapic, 2005    Nov-24-05 S Uesugi vs K Karakehajov, 2005    Nov-24-05 Macieja vs A Zapata, 2002     Nov-24-05 K Grigorian vs Balashov, 1974     Sep-15-05 Adorjan vs P Ostojic, 1970     Sep-06-05 Negi vs Z Javakhadze, 2005     Sep-06-05 Chigorin vs B Yankovich, 1899     Sep-04-05 Smyslov vs V Liberzon, 1969     Sep-01-05 I Samarin vs Antoshin, 1985     Aug-25-05 Sveshnikov vs J Stocek, 2000     Aug-20-05 G MacDonnell vs S Boden, 1869     Aug-20-05 Levenfish vs Lisitsin, 1946     Aug-01-05 Reshevsky vs B Larsen, 1971     Jul-30-05 O M Hindle vs G Moehring, 1964     Jul-30-05 J Nikolac vs Timman, 1979     Jul-17-05 Spassky vs G Capelan, 1974     Jun-30-05 Caro-Kann, Classical (B18)     Jun-30-05 Fine vs M Yudovich Sr, 1937     Jun-27-05 Benko vs I A Horowitz, 1968     Jun-26-05 G Fuster vs Simagin, 1949     Jun-22-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005     Jun-22-05 E Tate vs D Coleman, 1993     Jun-19-05 F Zita vs Taimanov, 1950     Jun-18-05 Tal vs R Meulders, 1987     Jun-13-05 D Hayes vs B Wall, 1980     Jun-13-05 R Meijer vs Euwe, 1923     Jun-09-05 O Barda vs J Foltys, 1951     Jun-09-05 Bird vs J Mason, 1876     Jun-04-05 Maurian vs Morphy, 1854     Jun-04-05 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1848     Jun-03-05 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2000    May-31-05 D E Vigorito vs P A Fontaine, 2004     May-30-05 E Post vs Flamberg, 1914     May-26-05 Chandler vs A Fernandes, 2001     May-24-05 Birchbeer vs NN, 1995     May-16-05 Anand vs Adams, 2005     May-15-05 S Polgar vs J Waitzkin, 1995     May-13-05 Kibitzer's Café     May-13-05 Ruy Lopez, Bird's Defense (C61)
