   nezhmet has kibitzed 190 times to chessgames   [less...]
   May-22-24 L Christiansen vs Short, 1980
 
nezhmet: Black was completely winning, it must have been time pressure. 37...Nf2+ 38. Kg1 Nd1! finishes the game immediately. If 39. R3e2 Bh3 40. Qg3 Qxe2! wins. The most stubborn defense, 39. Rg3 is met by 39...Qc5+ 40. Kh1 Nf2+ 41.Kg1 Qd4! guarding g7 and threatening lethal knight ...
 
   Apr-26-24 Larsen vs Petrosian, 1966
 
nezhmet: The exchange sac doesn't make a whole lot of sense and white is just better if he plays normally (he has the B pair as well). For example he can play Be3 instead of c3.
 
   Apr-20-24 Polugaevsky vs Tal, 1969 (replies)
 
nezhmet: Engines like 33...Rc7! 34. Re6 d4!! (deflection) 35. Nxd4 Kh6 with decent chances to hold.
 
   Apr-20-24 M Ginsburg vs A Wojtkiewicz, 1990
 
nezhmet: Engines inform me that 27. Ne4! Qd4+ 28. Nf2 is the way to go with a big edge to white but I didn't see this slow buildup would pay off.
 
   Mar-20-24 Lombardy vs I A Horowitz, 1972
 
nezhmet: 25. h3 is OK. So is 25. fxg3 Qe3+ 26. Rf2 Bb3 (Lombardy may not have looked further) and now white saves the game with the resource 27. Re1!
 
   Mar-19-24 Gulko vs Gufeld, 1998
 
nezhmet: This is a great game by Gulko.
 
   Mar-19-24 W Martz vs Benko, 1973 (replies)
 
nezhmet: What seems sort of chessically unfair is that white, who has played passively throughout, can still hold with 46. Qc2 instead of his losing blunder 46. Qh4??
 
   Mar-15-24 Kavalek vs J Grefe, 1973
 
nezhmet: The Lombardy and Daniels book came to the wrong conclusion because 28...gxh3 was fine. Black is better after an astounding followup: 28...gxh3 29.Qxh3 Rd4!! (the h6 attack does not matter!) 30.Rxd4 Qxd4 31.Qxh6+ Kg8 32.Be2 Qf4 and black is well on top.
 
   Mar-15-24 M Ginsburg vs L Christiansen, 2006
 
nezhmet: Update: upon computer review, W37 is nothing special as black has 37...cxb4! (missed by both players) 38. Rc7 b3! 39. Rxd7+ Ke8 and black is fine. (white must rush back with Rg7 and it will most likely end up a draw).
 
   Jan-27-24 M Ginsburg vs A Ivanov, 2016
 
nezhmet: 34. Bxf6 would have won quickly.
