graphvariety has kibitzed 22 times to chessgames   [less...]

Dec-18-22 H Grieve vs D Gormally, 2022    graphvariety: @areknames: After 25. Qc7, Black has 25... Qb4+. If White wants to avoid the perpetual he can either play 26. c3 Qb2+ 27. Bc2 e3+ 28. fxe3 Bf5 or 26. Ke2 exd3+ 27. Kf1 Bf5, neither of which is a clear win for White. Or if 24. Bxe4 dxe4 25. Qc7 (not 25. Rb1? Rd8+) 25... Bf5 with      Dec-14-22 M Wadsworth vs H Grieve, 2022    graphvariety: This is the craziest game I've seen in a long while. Talk about using the king as a fighting piece.      Dec-08-22 Alekhine vs Poindle, 1936    graphvariety: @Granny O Doul: Yes, that refutes 21... d6. But 21... b6 looks like an improvement, since 22. Qxh7 Kf7 23. Ra3 Bb7 prevents 24. Rf3.      May-29-21 V F Titenko vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1966   graphvariety: Either 48... Nf2+ or 49...Nf2+ delivers mate in 2. How could Nezh have missed that?      May-29-21 R Nezhmetdinov vs V Sergievsky, 1966   graphvariety: I don't understand. Black's position stinks but surely he can hold out a bit more after 24... Qxd6 25. Nxd6. I suspect there is an error in the game score and Nezh actually played 23. Rd6, when the threat of Rxg6+ seems to win quickly for White (and 23... Nf6 24. Ne4 1-0 is a ...      May-27-21 Antoshin vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1961   graphvariety: This cannot be right, even for a Nezh game. Why not 27. Bxb6?      May-26-21 G Ilivitsky vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1956    graphvariety: White threw the game away with 23. Be7??. But the threat of ...Nxb2 is hard to answer. Maybe 23. a3 Nxa3 24. Rhg1, with the idea 24.... Nc4 24. Be7 Qe8 25. Rxg7 Kxg7 26. Bxf8+ Kxf8 27. f5 to get back some initiative. Black certainly may have improvements to 24.... Nc4.      May-25-21 R Nezhmetdinov vs R Kakabadze, 1955    graphvariety: 22... Qxb2 looks suicidal, but Black may already be busted - what does he do about the threat of Nd5? If 22... Bxd3 23. Nd5 Nb5 24. Nxb6 Nxd4 25. Nxa8. So 22... Rxe3 looks forced: if 23. Nd5!? Re1+ 24. Bf1 Rxf1+ 25. Kxf1 Qa6+ 26. Kg1 Nb5, or 23. Qxe3? Re8, or 23. fxe3 Be6. But ...      Nov-12-18 Petrosian vs Lutikov, 1959    graphvariety: Let me ask a stupid question. What is wrong with 35. fxe4? What does Black have that I'm missing?      Nov-12-18 J Sefc vs Petrosian, 1957   graphvariety: It's like watching a cat toy with a mouse for a week before finally eating it.      Oct-29-18 Eliskases vs Stein, 1966     Oct-24-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs Lusikal, 1951     Oct-24-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs Aronin, 1950    Oct-22-18 Suetin vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1964     Oct-22-18 Khromov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1966     Oct-21-18 V Karasev vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1973     Oct-21-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs A Sokolsky, 1957    Oct-21-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs Y Kotkov, 1965    Oct-21-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs V Zhilin, 1958    Oct-12-18 M Morgan / S L Stadelman vs Lasker, 1907     Oct-11-18 Lasker vs F Lee, 1899    Oct-01-18 Spielmann vs Bogoljubov, 1932
