Nov-30-16 G Cools vs L Boeye, 2009    mertangili: I think after 29 Re3+ black can postpone the inevitable mate for a couple of moves by 29...Kf4. So 29. Qxg6 seems faster as there is no way to aviod 30. Qf5# next move.      Nov-18-16 M Hebden vs F Felecan, 1993    mertangili: <clement41> I agree to your comments on the merits of 18. Bb5. And yet it seems it only leads to equality after 20..Bxe5 as Bf4 pin threat stops white from achieveing anything significant after 21.Bxc6+. So it seems with correct play the position is equal after all.      May-25-16 G Orlov vs Glek, 1987    mertangili: It is very instructive for me to work out variations to see why 17. Rf1 fails.      Dec-24-13 Santa Claus    mertangili: Dear Santa, I feel I am lucky posting a last minute greeting.      Dec-09-13 G Kuzmin vs An Airapetian, 1981    mertangili: <millert>, <arrabbany> you're right there is no mate after 24...hxg6, 25. Qxg6+ Kf8. But after 27. Qg7+ Ke8 28.f7+ white is going to get some of its sacrificed material back and with the black king chased into the open, it would be very hard for black to stop checks. ...      Jul-25-13 J C Moore vs M J Read, 1981    mertangili: <Thean> After 45. gxf8=Q+ Nxf8, Can't white try 46.Kf2 stopping the pawns from queening, and maintain the material balance? I know black still has the advantage with the two connected passed pawns; but the game has to continue for a little while for black must figure out a ...      Jul-23-13 Capablanca vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1913    mertangili: Maybe this loss has also something to do with the location and date of the game? As it must have been played in a very cold and dark weather, Capablanca from Cuba might have been adversely effected.      Jul-11-13 A G Preusse vs W Schelfhout, 1910    mertangili: What's wrong with 16...Qxc4?      Mar-06-13 Winawer vs Steinitz, 1896    mertangili: <thomastonk> Yes, very simple indeed. I guess I suffered from chess blindness yesterday. Thanks.      Feb-08-13 Rublevsky vs K Asrian, 2004    mertangili: After 19.Rxf4 Qxf4 20.Rf1 g6; 21.Nf6+ Kd8 (only move) and 22. Qd1 with the treat of discovered check seems difficult to cope with for black. But I am not sure how white should proceed after 20...Qc7 as 21. Rxf5 g6 22. Nd6+ Qxd6 23.Bxd6 gxh5 and black appears to hold. Any ...      Feb-05-13 Adorjan vs H Wirthensohn, 1983     Dec-31-12 P Motwani vs P Rockwell, 1974     Aug-14-12 J Finnegan vs R P Allen, 1948     Jan-03-12 H Ree vs S Polgar, 1995     Nov-24-11 Macieja vs A Zapata, 2002     Oct-14-11 Capablanca vs J C Rather, 1936     Apr-01-11 H Rost vs E Sneiders, 1989     Mar-25-11 A P Law vs Hort, 1977     Nov-29-10 K Mokry vs E Shvidler, 1984     Apr-13-10 T Tylor vs W Winter, 1933     Mar-31-10 Pigusov vs Tal, 1982     Mar-29-10 Tseshkovsky vs J Dueball, 1969    Mar-23-10 J Barle vs V Liberzon, 1979    Mar-05-10 S Brzozka vs Bronstein, 1963     Feb-18-10 K Alagulian vs B Sambuev, 1999     Feb-03-10 D King vs J Hall, 1998     Jan-21-10 Kasparov vs N Rashkovsky, 1979     Jan-20-10 M Blau vs S Fazekas, 1957    Jan-14-10 J Grant vs C Weiss, 2007     Jan-11-10 E Can vs Shulman, 2010     Jan-05-10 H Geiger vs W Wurm, 1926     Jan-04-10 V Bergraser vs Ragozin, 1956     Dec-30-09 N Kosintseva vs V Gunina, 2009     Dec-29-09 G Nagy vs D Przepiorka, 1925     Dec-23-09 Lilienthal vs Samokhotsky, 1942     Dec-04-09 Van Wely vs Stellwagen, 2009     Nov-23-09 Szabo vs Ivkov, 1964     Nov-16-09 G Bishop vs A G Hagen, 2009     Oct-28-09 Svidler vs F Vallejo Pons, 2004     Oct-23-09 Z Franco Ocampos vs N Cobo Prados, 2001     Oct-22-09 Razuvaev vs Topalov, 1992     Oct-22-09 A Planinc vs Velimirovic, 1975     Oct-21-09 Chigorin vs J Noa, 1882     Oct-19-09 L Roedl vs A Kramer, 1929     Oct-15-09 D Juswanto vs C Zhu, 2004     Oct-13-09 Petrosian vs Tal, 1962     Oct-13-09 Capablanca vs Lilienthal, 1936     Oct-13-09 N Alexandria vs Chiburdanidze, 1981     Oct-08-09 Van der Wiel vs Kasparov, 1982     Sep-28-09 Fine vs A Dake, 1933     Sep-23-09 E Williams vs Staunton, 1851     Sep-11-09 J Caldas Vianna vs A S Paes de Barros, 1900     Sep-08-09 L D'Costa vs J L Hammer, 2009     Sep-02-09 M Pavlovic vs M Umansky, 2003     Aug-19-09 Granda Zuniga vs I Morovic Fernandez, 1992    Aug-17-09 W Potter vs Matthews, 1868     Aug-14-09 A Jakab vs M Goczo, 2001     Aug-13-09 Lisitsin vs Botvinnik, 1933     Aug-12-09 Gilg vs Reiter, 1936     Aug-03-09 Fischer vs R Codman, 1964     Jul-30-09 H Cole vs W Winter, 1919     Jul-27-09 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2001     Jul-23-09 L Perecz vs M Hever, 1974     Jul-22-09 F Eckert vs Turov, 1992    Jul-21-09 Privalov vs V Malaniuk, 1974     Jul-17-09 A Simutowe vs B Marchyllie, 2009    Jul-17-09 Paulsen vs Winawer, 1880    Jun-17-09 K Visweswaran vs C Ward, 2001    Jun-05-09 G Kieninger vs P Mross, 1941     Apr-29-09 F Rose vs Steinitz, 1886     Mar-20-09 Tal vs E Nievergelt, 1959     Mar-12-09 P van Hoorn vs Euwe, 1927    Mar-06-09 Tal vs Timman, 1972     Feb-26-09 Tarrasch vs D Baird, 1898     Jan-08-09 Rublevsky vs Radjabov, 2008     Jan-08-09 Y Rusakov vs B Verlinsky, 1947     Dec-26-08 L Matibet vs H Grob, 1927    Dec-19-08 M Raizman vs A De Burca, 1935     Dec-18-08 Anderssen vs F Amelung, 1862     Dec-04-08 K Ojanen vs O'Kelly, 1949     Oct-20-08 V Sadovsky vs Karpov, 1967     Oct-17-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Oct-16-08 Korchnoi vs B Gurgenidze, 1957     Oct-14-08 R Wang vs S Yu, 2001    Oct-13-08 R Wang vs S Yu, 2001     Oct-10-08 H Loomus vs K Makarova, 2001     Sep-22-08 J Rejfir vs F Herzog, 1933    Aug-28-08 A Luczak vs Fedorowicz, 1979
