Jan-07-19 Paul Morphy    ckr: Thanks <Zanzibar> It was nothing that should take extensive review. I just noticed something very curious in regard to the results table that you obtained from J Lowenthal's tournament book but I am looking forward to your comments on it. At you convenience.      Nov-17-18 Kibitzer's Café    ckr: <Luke Warm: Maybe just win the game with material advantage following the continuation of 1. RxNe3.> I would also and especially true if white is in a time crunch since a win is a win but we are trying to make fine wine here.      Nov-15-18 Carlsen - Caruana World Championship Match (2018)    ckr: <diagon> I am also disappointing with this format. It is like a tie in the Indianapolis 500 will be settled by a box car derby. No offense meant to blitz/rapid chess players but I do find the format lacking.      Aug-14-06 Miles vs S Rachels, 1989    ckr: Yep, beats losing.      May-25-06 Calli chessforum    ckr: <Calli> Devinck http://www.endgame.nl/bad1870.htm      May-24-06 Smyslov vs Flohr, 1949    ckr: <Demostenes: I was thinking about 52.Rf8+ and it also wins: 52.Rf8+ Kxf8 53.Kf6 with mate to follow> I thought the same but 53...Bxc6 will allow black to block the check of 54.Rb8+ with Be8      May-14-06 E Brestian vs H Eisterer, 1990   ckr: It's difficult to say whether Eisterer was expecting 47.♕xd2 exchanging ♘ for ♗ or if he expected 47.♖xe7 thinking 49.♖xb7 and a simplifed end game. I think he must have at least considered 47.♖xe7 so cudo's for Brestian for providing a very nice ...      May-14-06 Benko vs M Vukcevich, 1969    ckr: Just another one that got sucked into the Re8+ line.      May-13-06 Booth vs S Fazekas, 1940    ckr: [Event "?"] [Site "London ENG"] [Date "1940.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Booth"] [Black "Fazekas"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C18c"] 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Qc7 7. Nf3 Nc6 8.Bd3 cxd4 9.cxd4 Nxd4 10.Nxd4 Qc3+ 11.Qd2 ( 11.Bd2 Qxd4 12.O-O Qxe5 ...      May-04-06 Unzicker vs K Skold, 1950    ckr: Won the knight and Got as far as 20.RfE1 to make sure I kept the piece. From there I thought black had a few options but white had gained the upper hand being a piece up. Took a while to see it, I spent a bit of time on 18.Qe4 and after I saw how easily black connected his rooks the Qd8      Apr-30-06 G A Popov vs P Angelov, 1960     Apr-28-06 R Mamedov vs D Shengelia, 2001     Apr-26-06 I Saren vs B Larsen, 1973     Apr-24-06 Leko vs Bareev, 2003     Apr-23-06 Oll vs A Galliamova, 1989     Apr-22-06 Psakhis vs A Volzhin, 1994     Apr-21-06 A David vs Z Sturua, 1997     Apr-20-06 K Chernyshov vs Turov, 1998     Apr-19-06 G J Wood vs Najdorf, 1946     Apr-16-06 Tal vs Huebner, 1979     Apr-13-06 T Kilpi vs Taimanov, 1996     Apr-12-06 O Trompowsky vs J Nielsen, 1936     Apr-11-06 Nakamura vs S Muhammad, 2004     Apr-10-06 H Stefansson vs L Bruzon Batista, 2001     Apr-09-06 Khalifman vs E Ermenkov, 1994     Apr-08-06 Kamsky vs P Wolff, 1991     Apr-07-06 Sliwa vs G Stoltz, 1953     Apr-06-06 Tolush vs V Mikenas, 1950     Apr-05-06 L Bruzon Batista vs Dominguez Perez, 2004     Apr-03-06 K Prucha vs J Foltys, 1943     Apr-02-06 Fitzgerald vs S Loyd, 1877     Apr-01-06 Kudrin vs R Douven, 1989     Mar-31-06 Vladimirov vs A V Kharitonov, 1977     Mar-31-06 S Kuemin vs R Staechelin, 2005     Mar-28-06 K Asrian vs A Pashikian, 2006     Mar-27-06 R Haataja vs T de Vos, 1988     Mar-27-06 Balashov vs Tseitlin, 1969    Mar-26-06 Geller vs A Kapengut, 1971     Mar-25-06 Chessgames - Beer     Mar-24-06 Keres vs Gligoric, 1959     Mar-22-06 Alexandra Kosteniuk     Mar-22-06 Kosteniuk vs Stellwagen, 2000     Mar-21-06 Najdorf vs Stahlberg, 1941     Mar-20-06 Ljubojevic vs J H Donner, 1973     Mar-20-06 Z Almasi vs A David, 2005     Mar-19-06 Kaidanov vs A Wojtkiewicz, 1994     Mar-18-06 A Aleksandrov vs Adams, 2002     Mar-17-06 Fischer vs Ivkov, 1959     Mar-16-06 L Espig vs Csom, 1978     Mar-15-06 Averbakh vs V Osnos, 1965     Mar-11-06 R Balinas vs Korchnoi, 1968     Mar-10-06 Francois Philidor     Mar-10-06 Szabo vs M Bertok, 1970     Mar-09-06 C Lutz vs Ftacnik, 2001     Mar-08-06 A Reggio vs J Mieses, 1903     Mar-07-06 Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1938     Mar-06-06 M Guid vs M Cebalo, 2004     Mar-04-06 Staunton vs W Popert, 1840    Mar-03-06 Kieseritzky vs Saint-Amant, 1840     Mar-03-06 H Olafsson vs B Thorfinnsson, 2001     Mar-02-06 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858     Mar-01-06 J Bruehl vs Philidor, 1783     Feb-28-06 R Maric vs Gligoric, 1962     Feb-26-06 J McConnell vs Morphy, 1850     Feb-25-06 Smyslov vs A Magrin, 1968     Feb-24-06 Razuvaev vs Z Mestrovic, 1981     Feb-20-06 Alekhine vs D Bleijkmans, 1933     Feb-15-06 Short vs Timman, 1988     Feb-13-06 de Riviere vs S Dubois, 1855     Feb-12-06 Tarrasch vs Ph Gutmann / Hahn / Kuerschner / R, 1895     Feb-10-06 Morphy vs Maurian, 1866     Feb-06-06 A Niedermayer vs P Haba, 1996     Feb-05-06 Suetin vs Bagirov, 1961     Jan-29-06 Raymond Keene     Jan-29-06 Robert James Fischer     Jan-29-06 Rossolimo vs G J Wood, 1949     Jan-27-06 J R Smith vs E Morphy, 1858     Jan-17-06 Emanuel Lasker     Jan-14-06 Leko vs Anand, 2005    Dec-28-05 Wilhelm Steinitz     Dec-25-05 K Darga vs Stein, 1969     Dec-21-05 Morphy vs W Montgomery, 1859     Dec-18-05 Morphy vs Schrufer, 1859     Dec-08-05 Morphy vs J Thompson, 1859     Oct-25-05 Veselin Topalov     Oct-19-05 Lawrence Day     Sep-29-05 Gligoric vs L Prins, 1952     Sep-27-05 M Al Sayed vs J Vogel, 2005     Sep-26-05 Shabalov vs Kharlov, 1998     Sep-24-05 Shredder (Computer)     Sep-24-05 Euwe vs H Weenink, 1923     Sep-23-05 H Wolf vs Spielmann, 1923     Sep-22-05 B Malich vs J Kort, 1971     Sep-21-05 J Rosanes vs Anderssen, 1862     Sep-20-05 N Popova vs T Zaitseva, 1974     Sep-20-05 Nakamura vs A J Goldsby, 2003     Sep-19-05 Shredder vs Gambit Tiger, 2001     Sep-19-05 D Sahovic vs Matulovic, 1969     Sep-17-05 Unzicker vs Antoshin, 1965     Sep-15-05 Adorjan vs P Ostojic, 1970     Sep-09-05 Portisch vs B Berger, 1964     Sep-08-05 Claude Frizzel Bloodgood     Sep-01-05 Morphy vs S Smyth, 1859     Aug-28-05 Dolmatov vs A Yusupov, 1991     Aug-25-05 Ruger     Aug-23-05 J Xie vs Short, 2002     Aug-21-05 G Ravinsky vs G Ilivitsky, 1952     Aug-18-05 Taimanov vs Golombek, 1952     Aug-16-05 Zukertort vs Steinitz, 1886     Aug-16-05 J Nogueiras vs Polugaevsky, 1990     Aug-15-05 M Gurevich vs Short, 1990     Aug-14-05 Alatortsev vs Smyslov, 1942     Aug-13-05 Chessgames - Odd Lie     Aug-13-05 S Hamann vs B Brinck-Claussen, 1962     Aug-10-05 Morozevich vs Adams, 2001     Aug-07-05 Marshall vs von Scheve, 1904     Aug-07-05 Ignatz von Kolisch     Aug-06-05 Sax vs V Ciocaltea, 1974     Aug-02-05 Capablanca vs Lasker, 1921     Jul-31-05 Schroeder     Jul-30-05 Capablanca vs J Corzo, 1901     Jul-27-05 Morphy vs T Knight, 1856     Jul-18-05 de Riviere vs Morphy, 1863     Jun-29-05 Z Gofshtein vs M Gurevich, 2001     Jun-27-05 J Schulten vs Morphy, 1857     Jun-22-05 Adams vs Hydra, 2005     May-13-05 Saint Amant / Marie Florimond de B vs Morphy, 1858     Apr-07-05 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1850
