Jan-29-09 Frank Marshall    chocobonbon: I've made this point before: In "Combinations, the Heart of Chess" Chernev quoted Fine as saying "I've never met anyone, not even Alekhine, who had a keener eye for the purely combinative in chess." I submit that "purely combinative" is not synonymous with "tactics". Tactics is ...      Jan-17-09 Barcza vs Keres, 1957   chocobonbon: {41. ...Kh5; 42.Qh7+, Kg4; 43.h3+, Kxg3; 44.Qd3+,♕e3; 45.♕xe3+, ♔h4; 45.♖h7# A Keres-like finish by Barcza, the second of two wins against Keres in the database - played on successive days in Tallinn. But why 39. ...Kh7 letting the Rook penetrate ? Time ...      Jan-16-09 Alekhine vs Barcza, 1942    chocobonbon: In the note to Whites's 18th I think ♕a1 must have been meant as e1 is occupied.      Jan-15-09 Tal vs M Mukhin, 1972    chocobonbon: Interesting how many of Tal's games end after the opponent's last move.      Jan-15-09 Barcza vs Tal, 1971    chocobonbon: Not in _My Life and Games_? For nearly anyone else this would be their "Immortal Game" but, truth be told IMHO, all Tal's great combinations are immortal. Thank you, chessgames.com.      Jan-14-09 Carlsen vs Anand, 2008    chocobonbon: "If" is a big word.      Jan-13-09 Colle vs V Soultanbeieff, 1930    chocobonbon: <Alimatok> Don't forget the Black Queen at c7. Chancho looks better & better.      Jan-12-09 Tal vs I Zilber, 1949    chocobonbon: <Ilikefruits> I played online briefly a few years ago but it wasn't Yahoo. Don't recall my handle but it wasn't Chocobonbon although equally silly. On the site you chose the desired level of competition. I caught a few ringers and rang off. Then I discovered Chessgames.com      Dec-29-08 Tal vs E Nievergelt, 1959    chocobonbon: <who> What more can you ask of sacs than that the opponent has to keep giving back material with the continuing consequence that your position improves & results in Checkmate? It's like a Capablanca game vs. a minor Master with a dose of the Tal whimsy. Doesn't get much ...      Dec-27-08 Tal vs Karpov, 1987    chocobonbon: I apologize for harping on this game but it is an extraordinary game. After checking the earlier posts I see that <Honza Cervenka> had suggested Nf6! on move 22!! I think that is a stupendous shot & as far as I can see, no one ever commented on it. Hats off to you, Honza ...      Dec-20-08 Steinitz vs Winawer, 1882     Dec-09-08 G Kasparian vs Keres, 1947     Dec-06-08 Pillsbury vs Blackburne, 1898    Dec-02-08 Anand vs Oll, 1999     Nov-28-08 Schlechter vs A Nimzowitsch, 1907     Nov-19-08 H Lehmann vs Spassky, 1957     Nov-19-08 Spassky vs B Gurgenidze, 1957     Nov-19-08 Spassky vs J Kozma, 1955     Nov-18-08 Y Gusev vs Spassky, 1951     Nov-18-08 Y Gusev vs Tal, 1991     Nov-13-08 Capablanca vs Rubinstein, 1928     Nov-12-08 Spielmann vs Rubinstein, 1911     Nov-04-08 Pillsbury vs Swiderski, 1902     Oct-31-08 Smyslov vs Veresov, 1940     Oct-31-08 Lobron vs Van Wely, 1996     Oct-20-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     Oct-19-08 K Rosenkrantz vs Alekhine, 1909     Oct-16-08 Spielmann vs Alekhine, 1927     Oct-15-08 Alekhine vs Eliskases, 1939     Oct-15-08 Alekhine vs Pachman, 1943     Oct-14-08 Y Wang vs I Hakki, 2006    Sep-23-08 S Estremera Panos vs P San Segundo Carrillo, 2002    Sep-22-08 A Staehelin vs J Rejfir, 1935    Sep-22-08 Josef Rejfir     Sep-21-08 K Urbanec vs J Rejfir, 1955    Sep-21-08 J Rejfir vs J Foltys, 1935     Sep-17-08 Bronstein vs W Winter, 1946     Sep-12-08 Viswanathan Anand     Sep-12-08 Chandler vs P Paris, 1976     Sep-02-08 Morphy vs C Stanley, 1857     Sep-01-08 S Yu vs Y Wang, 2006    Aug-28-08 von der Lasa vs H Caro, 1890     Aug-27-08 Zukertort vs Steinitz, 1872     Aug-25-08 Steinitz vs Zukertort, 1872     Aug-25-08 Zukertort vs Steinitz, 1872     Aug-24-08 Lasker vs A W Schofield, 1892     Aug-21-08 Lasker vs L Labatt, 1893     Aug-21-08 Lasker vs R W Raymond, 1892     Aug-19-08 Capablanca vs R Illa, 1911     Aug-18-08 Paul Morphy     Aug-17-08 A Fox vs Lasker, 1904     Aug-17-08 Lasker vs J Mortimer, 1900     Aug-17-08 Steinitz vs Anderssen, 1866     Aug-17-08 D Martinez vs Lasker, 1892     Aug-15-08 R Nezhmetdinov vs V A Vasiliev, 1949    Aug-02-08 Kasparov vs S Thomson, 2003     Jul-29-08 B Tot vs L Asztalos, 1938     Jul-29-08 L Asztalos vs G Stoltz, 1931     Jul-29-08 J Mieses vs L Asztalos, 1918     Jul-26-08 Browne vs A Bisguier, 1974     Jul-26-08 Miles vs Browne, 1982     Jul-16-08 Marshall vs Lasker, 1907     Jun-22-08 Pillsbury vs Albin, 1896     Jun-21-08 J Pap vs Charousek, 1896    Jun-16-08 Charousek vs G Makovetz, 1895    Jul-22-07 Rudolf Spielmann     Jun-21-07 G T Crown vs R L Johnson, 1946     May-01-07 Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1967     Apr-24-07 Alekhine vs A Pomar, 1945     Apr-11-07 M Walter vs Lasker, 1923     Apr-07-07 J Horvath vs S Polgar, 1981     Apr-01-07 J Vesely vs Jansa, 1960    Apr-01-07 Jansa vs J Kozma, 1960     Apr-01-07 M Herink vs Jansa, 1959     Mar-24-07 Filip vs T Sakellaropoulos, 1958    Mar-23-07 Steinitz vs Schlechter, 1897     Mar-21-07 D Dengler vs Elsa Wei Chung Yueh, 2006    Mar-21-07 D Dengler vs H Olschok, 2000     Mar-21-07 Steinitz vs Paulsen, 1870     Jul-21-04 Alekhine vs K Richter, 1942     Jul-20-04 Pillsbury vs Janowski, 1900     Jul-13-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jun-16-04 Morozevich vs Bologan, 2004     Jun-06-04 D T Phillips vs Pillsbury, 1899
