Apr-17-04 Fischer vs C Garcia Palermo, 1970    fatbaldguy: One mustn't forget that Garcia Palermo is a talented player, lately his ranking has been about 2500 or so but I think it's been higher. I don't know what it was at the time this game was played, but it's not so surprising that someone with the skills of a future IM (or maybe GM, ...      Apr-09-04 J Sajtar vs M Dietze, 1943    fatbaldguy: Ehm - my French is not that great either - but I believe "grasse" means "greasy"... "grace" (with a "^" on the a) may apply here.      Apr-08-04 Hodgson vs Blatny, 1993    fatbaldguy: I must be missing something, but why does white win in the final position? It would seem that by playing the sequence ... Nb4 and ... Nd5, black would avoid any mate threats and maintain two passed pawns.      Apr-04-04 F Zoubida Rachedi vs Ali J Ghuloum, 1991   fatbaldguy: Good point, and maybe it can even be improved with 23 ... Rd1, after which I don't think white can prevent both 24 ... R:d4 and 24 ... Bf5 - which makes me wonder which side should have really resigned...      Apr-02-04 Burn vs J Owen, 1874    fatbaldguy: It's ok, but not the way Owen played it here... Does 13 ... Qe7 save black, or is it already too late?      Apr-01-04 H Rosenvald vs T Pihlaja, 2001    fatbaldguy: Actually, very often it's the players' score card that is in error (indicating + instead of #). Besides, it's not Chessgames' fault if black insists on getting massacred instead of resigning at move 18...      Mar-24-04 Vera Papadopoulou    fatbaldguy: Now, now, aren't we supposed to be discussing chess prowess, instead of women's looks? What are these boards coming to? (also, Ksenya Rybenko is definitely cuter than Papadopoulou)      Mar-23-04 Matulovic vs Suttles, 1970    fatbaldguy: It may already be too late after 72 ... Rd2+ - if 73 Ke3 then 73 ... Re3+ 74 Kf4 (or anywhere else, but he cannot take the rook) R:b3 should be a draw (again the rook cannot be taken). I don't think the extra knight can win this endgame.      Mar-23-04 J Hohmeister vs T Frank, 1993    fatbaldguy: I confess it took me a while to get the point - 8 Ra3?? 10 f3??? But after 10 ... Bb3 I realized that this was a prearranged game rather than one where white (a 2500 player) might be drunk or something. I guess the two players, who had exactly the same rating, wanted to keep it ...      Mar-19-04 Nunn vs C Pritchett, 1986    fatbaldguy: One argument in favor of the "non-predictability" of this puzzle is that Pritchett did not resign on 23 Nf6+. Pritchett is a pretty strong player - we are not talking NN here - and is surely familiar with chess etiquette and how one should not keep playing in a lost position. In ...      Mar-17-04 Euwe vs W J Muhring, 1947     Mar-17-04 Gulko vs K Grigorian, 1971     Mar-16-04 J Schenkein vs Spielmann, 1910     Mar-14-04 Natalia Zhukova     Mar-12-04 F Doettling vs S Conquest, 2004     Mar-12-04 Gelfand vs Anand, 1993     Mar-08-04 V Popov vs J Nogueiras, 2004    Mar-08-04 E Landuyt vs V Gurevich, 2004     Mar-08-04 J Geller vs O Huguenin, 2004     Mar-08-04 B Saeheng vs L Valdes, 2002     Mar-03-04 Linares (2004)     Feb-26-04 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2004     Feb-21-04 Ivkov vs S Tatai, 1966     Feb-18-04 Schlechter vs K Havasi, 1918     Feb-17-04 J Ye vs T Dao, 1999    Feb-17-04 Maroczy vs Tartakower, 1922     Feb-16-04 Van den Behaerdt vs D Gedult, 1971     Feb-12-04 Kasparov vs Portisch, 1983     Feb-10-04 Wladyslaw Litmanowicz     Feb-09-04 R Steel vs R Macdonald Ross, 1884     Feb-08-04 A Skripchenko vs Lautier, 1998     Feb-08-04 A Vaisser vs Milov, 1994     Feb-07-04 N Davies vs I White, 2004     Feb-06-04 I Novikov vs Blatny, 2001     Feb-05-04 Fedorchuk vs J Grant, 2001    Feb-05-04 Alatortsev vs Ragozin, 1936     Feb-03-04 Yoshiharu Habu     Feb-03-04 Blackburne vs J P Lea, 1890     Feb-01-04 Kasparov vs Adams, 1988     Feb-01-04 V Malakhov vs Avrukh, 2003     Jan-30-04 J Schwarz vs M Weiss, 1880     Jan-29-04 H Courtney vs R H Newman, 1956     Jan-29-04 Matulovic vs I Bilek, 1967     Jan-29-04 H Berliner vs K Messere, 1965     Jan-26-04 S Brady vs P Short, 1991    Jan-23-04 O Giordanengo vs R Gehrke, 1991     Jan-22-04 W Hajenius vs C Shitsuka, 2001     Jan-22-04 Corus Group A (2004)     Jan-20-04 Shirov vs I Sokolov, 2004     Jan-19-04 Leko vs Bologan, 2004     Jan-18-04 Z Zhang vs Anand, 2004     Jan-18-04 Smyslov vs Benko, 1969     Jan-13-04 G Mohr vs B Bratovic, 2002     Jan-11-04 Savielly Tartakower     Jan-10-04 A Cherniaev vs P H Nielsen, 2004     Jan-09-04 Tal vs J Miller, 1988     Jan-09-04 Shredder vs Nimzo-8, 2001     Jan-08-04 J Polgar vs G Gislason, 1988     Jan-05-04 Napoleon Bonaparte vs The Turk, 1809     Jan-04-04 K Stummer vs E Diemer, 1955     Jan-04-04 C Tsai vs I Alcivar Torres, 2001     Jan-04-04 G Stoltz vs H Steiner, 1952     Jan-04-04 O W Field vs O Tenner, 1922     Jan-03-04 NN vs Blackburne, 1884     Jan-01-04 Oll vs Hodgson, 1993     Dec-31-03 J Mieses vs Mason, 1901     Dec-31-03 M Gerusel vs Lombardy, 1957     Dec-30-03 D Jacimovic vs O Organdziev, 2001    Dec-29-03 A Horvath vs Koneru, 2001     Dec-28-03 W Paulsen vs A Schwarz, 1878    Dec-28-03 Anand vs I Rogers, 1990     Dec-28-03 Greco vs NN, 1620     Dec-26-03 Kudrin vs Suba, 1984     Dec-24-03 O Onishko vs M Leonov, 2002     Dec-22-03 Petrosian vs H Corral, 1954     Dec-22-03 E Fernandez Romero vs J Garrido, 2002     Dec-22-03 I Teran Alvarez vs I Herrera, 2001    Dec-19-03 C Hartlaub vs Fleischer, 1913     Dec-19-03 E Diemer vs Burger / Bartsch, 1948     Dec-10-03 Tal vs B Larsen, 1965     Dec-10-03 Saemisch vs A Nimzowitsch, 1923     Dec-10-03 A Dadian vs NN, 1900     Dec-10-03 Kotov vs G Lambert, 1977     Dec-06-03 T Kosintseva vs T Stepovaia, 2001     Dec-06-03 I Sokolov vs Bologan, 2003     Dec-01-03 T Hillarp Persson vs Mamedyarov, 2003     Dec-01-03 Gligoric vs J Kaplan, 1972     Dec-01-03 Romanishin vs R Tomczak, 1992    Nov-30-03 Nisipeanu vs Ivanchuk, 1999     Nov-29-03 Khalifman vs Ivanchuk, 1994     Nov-25-03 W R Ballard vs J Fagan, 1884     Nov-24-03 Keres vs I Raud, 1929     Nov-22-03 Levenfish vs Aronin, 1950     Nov-20-03 Geller vs I Kan, 1955     Nov-19-03 I Rabinovich vs P Romanovsky, 1925     Nov-18-03 X3D Fritz vs Kasparov, 2003     Nov-16-03 Van Wely vs Leko, 1996     Nov-14-03 M Rohde vs C Brasket, 1978     Nov-10-03 Kasparov vs X3D Fritz, 2003     Nov-06-03 J U Trippe vs B Skonieczna, 1988     Nov-06-03 Kasparov vs J Polgar, 2000     Nov-04-03 K Miton vs L Leong, 2002     Nov-04-03 Najmes vs J Balogh, 1943
