| cantdropwontstop: Very brilliant game by Miles!! |

May-08-06 J Kristiansen vs Miles, 1974
| |
| cantdropwontstop: Looks like Miles didn't want to play
25...f5, which is safe, but no
advantage, then blundered again
with 30...Qc7? ( 30...Qa5; 30...Qd5). |

May-08-06 Miles vs K Pytel, 1974 
| |
| cantdropwontstop: Miles is certainly very clever
tactically after his bad opening
(5 Bg2?) and one need to go to
Skijbase to see what happens after
16...Bxf5: 17 Bxf5 Nxf5 18 Nxe4
Qe7 19 Nxc5 Qxc5 and now White
just lifts himself up with 20 Qe4+!
Kf7 and 21 Rfc1 when ... |

May-08-06 Miles vs A Bisguier, 1973
| |
| cantdropwontstop: 18...Rag8? The wrong rook!
Yet who would expect 21 Nxd5+!! -
lightning out of a clear sky sacrifice! |

May-08-06 G Kuzmin vs Miles, 1973
| |
| cantdropwontstop: Kind of a scrappy game early on.
17 Rfc1! (the right rook) wins a
pawn. Later, Kuzmin needlessly
dumps an exchange on move 21
(21 Qxd8, for ex., is possible
before 21 f3?), but then Miles
doesn't simply retreat with 24...Rcc8! retaining a safe exchange,

May-08-06 Miles vs Tal, 1974
| |
| cantdropwontstop: Tal is very clever here.
34 Bxc5 looks like it wins a pawn, but doesn't: 34 Bxc5 Bxc5 35 Qxc5
Qxc5 36 b8(Q)+ Kg7.
White's 'extra' pawn has disappeared
and become a queen, so he's not
actually up a pawn! It looks roughly
equal. |

| cantdropwontstop: To do list after exiting chessgames.com
(1) Check on dennis' appeal
("kozlowski" "appeal")
(2) See if full text of "Keeping
the Rabble in Line" is on Chomsky's
site |

May-08-06 L Rellstab vs Miles, 1973
| |
| cantdropwontstop: I guess 22 Bg4 is easily prevented
( 21...f5 ). Mile's looked rattled
after allowing that, rather
impulsively playing 23...d4. |

May-08-06 P H Clarke vs Miles, 1973
| |
| cantdropwontstop: The bishop will go to h2 to attack
the pawn. Of course, 75 Nb3??
was a greivous error (75 Nf3, when
it's hard to see how Black wins)
Curious that 35...Bd6 may have
been the error on Mile's part that
allowed all this. Instead, either
35...Qa7 or 35...Qe7 ... |

May-08-06 Miles vs Timman, 1974
| |
| cantdropwontstop: Reverse Black's 12th and 13th
(otherwise 14 exd6 wins a piece);
White's 14th would then be 14 e5. |
