joelsontang has kibitzed 90 times to chessgames   [less...]

Apr-22-16 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004    joelsontang: It appears that Komodo and everyone missed 24 bxa6 Rxf2 25 a7! (Instead of the suggested Kxf2) 25...Re2 26 a8=Q+ And white has 2 extra pawns, and the c6 pawn is weak. Did I overlook something?!      Dec-02-12 Moscow (1971)    joelsontang: Where was Fischer?      Sep-14-12 Portisch vs Fischer, 1970    joelsontang: Did Portisch miss a chance to increase his advantange over Fischer in the opening and middle game? I believe he could have pressed Fischer harder.      Nov-29-11 Smirin vs Anand, 1994    joelsontang: What will Anand play if 20. Rfd1? Would that win back a piece for Smirin and leave the latter with a decisive material advantage? Or what should Anand do after 19. f3? Seems like Anand will have to return the piece.      Nov-15-11 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1970    joelsontang: I'd like to introduce a new variation, why not 11.e5? so in the case of 11...dxe5 12.Bxe5 Qxd1 13.Raxd1 white would be greatly ahead in development to create and exploit weaknesses in Black's position. Could I thus have such a variation named after me? Since no one has played it      Sep-07-11 Tal vs Petrosian, 1954   joelsontang: Tal should probably have thought of 12. Be3 like in Nezmetdinov vs Paoli famous game, same formation White had. And followed by h4 then g5. Any opinion about that plan?      Sep-03-11 Kasparov vs Miles, 1986    joelsontang: Miles missed 40...e3+ followed by exf2 which would have given him good drawing chances and a draw with best play after having defended so well!      Aug-30-11 Tal vs Taimanov, 1958    joelsontang: 59...Qe6+ or Qe3+ are the only moves which hold the draw. Taimanov deserved at least a draw after defending so accurately.      Aug-24-11 Capablanca vs Yates, 1930    joelsontang: Yates has done so well to reduce the endgame to a Rook and 4 pawns vs Rook and 3 pawns with no pawn structure weaknesses for black. What a waste, I could have drawn the endgame myself. As a rule of thumb, from my experience, do the following: 1) push the h-pawn to h5 to be able ...      Aug-24-11 Petrosian vs Tal, 1962    joelsontang: I wonder if after 39...Rxd7 is a theoretical draw. If black's pawn stood on g6 instead of f5, then it definitely is - (and the draw would not be so difficult in my opinion, most top GMs even lose such endings when all you have to do is restrict the opponent's king from ...      Jul-16-11 Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1958     Jul-13-11 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1958     Jun-25-11 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1992     Jun-21-11 Petrosian vs Karpov, 1976     Jun-21-11 Petrosian vs Karpov, 1981    Jun-08-11 V Ciocaltea vs Fischer, 1965     Jun-08-11 Fischer vs B Zuckerman, 1965     Jun-08-11 Fischer vs Tal, 1959     Jun-07-11 Najdorf vs Fischer, 1966     Jun-07-11 Fischer vs Larsen, 1966     Jun-07-11 R Nicevski vs Fischer, 1967     Jun-07-11 R Balinas vs Fischer, 1967     Jun-07-11 Fischer vs M Czerniak, 1968     Jun-07-11 J Agdamus vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 Ivkov vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 B Kurajica vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 Szabo vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 Mecking vs Fischer, 1970     Jun-07-11 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971     Jun-07-11 Uhlmann vs Fischer, 1970    Jun-07-11 Kasparov vs Anand, 2003     Jun-07-11 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1966     Oct-03-08 Fischer vs Tal, 1959     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Uhlmann, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs P Ostojic, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Tal, 1970     Sep-12-08 Korchnoi vs Fischer, 1970     Sep-12-08 Smyslov vs Fischer, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Bronstein, 1970     Sep-12-08 Hort vs Fischer, 1970     Sep-12-08 Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1970     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971     Sep-12-08 Fischer vs Matulovic, 1970     Sep-12-08 M Damjanovic vs Fischer, 1967     Dec-14-06 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Dec-13-06 Letelier vs Fischer, 1960     Dec-12-06 D Minic vs Fischer, 1970     Dec-12-06 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972     Dec-12-06 D Minic vs Fischer, 1967     Dec-12-06 Kholmov vs Fischer, 1967     Dec-12-06 Fischer vs J Rubinetti, 1970     Dec-12-06 V Ciocaltea vs Fischer, 1968     Dec-08-06 Topalov vs Kasparov, 1994     Dec-07-06 Gligoric vs Fischer, 1958     Dec-07-06 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1993     Dec-06-06 G Mazzoni vs Fischer, 1967     Apr-28-06 R Naranja vs Fischer, 1970     Apr-28-06 Bronstein vs Polugaevsky, 1963     Jan-28-06 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Jan-28-06 Fischer vs Spassky, 1992     Jan-28-06 Fischer vs Spassky, 1992     Jan-28-06 Fischer vs J Sherwin, 1957     Jan-03-06 Mac Hack VI vs Fischer, 1977     Jan-03-06 Spassky vs Short, 2001     Dec-17-05 Fischer vs Forintos, 1967     Dec-17-05 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1971     Dec-17-05 Kotov vs E Paoli, 1950     Dec-15-05 M Bertok vs Fischer, 1968     Dec-15-05 Y Kraidman vs Fischer, 1968     Dec-15-05 Fischer vs S Kagan, 1968     Dec-14-05 Alexey Kuzmin     Dec-13-05 Hj Mohd Nassir vs N Sawalani, 2001     Dec-12-05 Larsen vs Fischer, 1971     Nov-30-05 Fischer vs E Cobo Arteaga, 1965     Nov-08-05 Capablanca vs A Ilyin-Zhenevsky, 1925     Nov-05-05 Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1961     Nov-05-05 L Prins vs L Rellstab, 1951     Oct-31-05 Jason Goh Koon-Jong
