Dec-04-21 M Esserman vs Van Wely, 2011    saintdufus: <<Conrad93: You just look like an idiot. Were you attempting to be clever?>> I notice you throw the word "idiot" around a lot. There's no need to be so negative, nobody here insulted you. These people are just trying to have fun. Thanks Sally! For setting the record ...      Nov-03-21 F Rhine vs NN, 2019    saintdufus: From one Morraphile to another: beautiful game, Frederick! I will look for an opportunity to play that Nd5 maneuver. Inspiring!      Apr-05-21 S Vaibhav vs Carlsen, 2018    saintdufus: <takchess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyV... gm quickly goes overs some combinations where black clean house.> Agadmator is not a GM, he's actually an A-player.      Feb-10-21 Stein vs Hort, 1967    saintdufus: From the tournament book: "March 1: This must be the blackest day of Stein's chess career. Stein lost in 40 moves after turning down Hort's offer of a draw on move 11! Hort was depressed at the way his luck had run and only wanted to be away from the torture. His chances of ...      Dec-11-20 NN vs G Derrickson, 1860   saintdufus: Playing through these Derrickson games, I get the impression he was a player who hung lots of pieces, used the "fishing pole" tactic in every game, and managed to win from lost positions because his opponents didn't defend properly. But it was a different game back then. ...      Oct-21-20 Schlechter vs Lasker, 1910    saintdufus: <PizzatheHut: Could someone help here? The note after move 49 reads "Drawish position".> I was about to say "there's no note after move 49," but then I read the comments and realized there must have been some weird bogus annotation thing going on, which Chessgames.com ...      Sep-24-20 C Yip vs A Ivanov, 2014    saintdufus: <How about a wee bit of credit for the lass.> Exactly! This was a great achievement for Carissa.      Sep-19-20 A Vitolinsh vs Khalifman, 1984   saintdufus: <5. Bc4+ is a blunder that runs into 5...d5 6.ed Bd6 with almost no compensation for white.> You consider three pawns for a piece "almost no compensation"?      Feb-24-20 O Averkin vs Miles, 1976   saintdufus: After 47...Bd4 Black is threatening 48...Bc5#, so White is forced to sac the exchange.      Sep-20-19 M Esserman vs Anand, 2016    saintdufus: It wasn't White whose issue was confidence, but Black. Esserman is the world's #1 authority on this opening: he believes in it strongly, so he always plays it, no matter who his opponent is. I do wish Anand had accepted the gambit though. Maybe he feared a similar fate to what ...      Apr-30-19 Charousek vs J Wollner, 1895    Apr-30-19 Spassky vs Karpov, 1982     Apr-30-19 Chandler vs J Emms, 1997    Apr-21-19 Bronstein vs M Udovcic, 1957    Apr-20-19 Bronstein vs Lilienthal, 1944    Apr-12-19 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1985    Apr-08-19 G B Esungi vs Khalema Sechaba, 2018    Apr-08-19 A Nimzowitsch vs Capablanca, 1914     Apr-08-19 Gheorghiu vs A Beliavsky, 1982     Apr-02-19 J Shaw vs F Obers, 2006    Apr-02-19 T Burg vs G Sarakauskas, 2006    Apr-02-19 P Zelbel vs R Duijker, 2012    Apr-02-19 Debashis Das vs A Dole, 2008    Apr-02-19 B Adhiban vs V Malakhatko, 2009    Apr-02-19 L Ptacnikova vs E Repkova, 2010    Apr-02-19 Ivanchuk vs Le Quang Liem, 2011    Apr-02-19 Kotronias vs D Warner, 2012    Apr-02-19 D Ebeling vs T Petrik, 2014    Apr-02-19 T Oim vs J Sloth, 2001    Apr-02-19 K Priyadharshan vs M Heimann, 2017    Apr-02-19 J B Bjerre vs K Sajjadi, 2018    Apr-01-19 K Haining vs A Wang, 2018    Apr-01-19 D Daulyte-Cornette vs Kuzubov, 2018    Apr-01-19 K Alekseenko vs S Lomasov, 2018    Oct-07-18 J Murey vs Fedorowicz, 1989    Jul-01-18 D Fistek vs A Sliwicka, 2017     Jan-27-18 M Esserman vs Hracek, 2009    Jan-03-18 Ivanchuk vs A Yusupov, 1991     Dec-15-17 Shabalov vs S J Breckenridge, 2017    Dec-15-17 Kasparov vs Karjakin, 2017    Dec-15-17 E Tsotsonava vs Dehankar Mrudul, 2016     Dec-13-17 M Lange vs Anderssen, 1851    Dec-08-17 Westerinen vs G Timmerman, 1987     Dec-08-17 Westerinen vs J Franzen, 1988    Dec-08-17 M Damjanovic vs Fischer, 1967     Nov-21-17 O Antze vs Saemisch, 1926    Nov-19-17 Chigorin vs I Zybin, 1899    Nov-19-17 Chigorin vs N V Nerling, 1879    Oct-15-17 D Stojanovic vs Tiviakov, 2009    Oct-15-17 N Mamedov vs Kharitonov, 2009    Aug-14-17 J Franzen vs F Baumbach, 1994    Aug-13-17 Westerinen vs B Thorfinnsson, 1997     Aug-13-17 Westerinen vs J Hector, 1989     Aug-10-17 X Bu vs R Gao, 2014    Aug-10-17 X Bu vs M Thaler, 2014    Aug-10-17 M Hansen vs X Bu, 2014    Jul-09-17 A Phillips vs Keres, 1955    Sep-28-16 Nepomniachtchi vs Tomashevsky, 2010    Sep-28-16 Nepomniachtchi vs Tomashevsky, 2016     Aug-07-16 Kharlov vs S Williams, 2005    Jul-14-16 Kasparov vs Deep Blue, 1997     Jun-30-16 Carlsen vs Svidler, 2015    Mar-21-16 Caruana vs Nakamura, 2016     Mar-19-16 Topalov vs Giri, 2016     Feb-27-16 Tal vs M Neibults, 1959     Jan-24-16 Bronstein vs Veresov, 1959    Jan-01-16 Wei Yi vs N R Vignesh, 2015     Apr-05-15 V Zak vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1951    Apr-04-15 Aronian vs Anand, 2013     Mar-31-15 Karpov vs Miles, 1977     Mar-19-15 E Inarkiev vs V Laznicka, 2013    Mar-19-15 Topalov vs V Laznicka, 2013     Mar-17-15 N Raptis vs W J Stewart, 2012    Mar-14-15 D Cotten vs Marjanovic, 1985    Mar-14-15 L Rerabkova vs M Martinkova, 1994    Mar-11-15 Ljubojevic vs Kasparov, 1983     Mar-10-15 Kavalek vs Kasparov, 1982     Mar-04-15 K Gross vs G Zschischang, 2005     Mar-04-15 L Milman vs Ehlvest, 2003    Mar-04-15 M Zelic vs M Bertok, 2003    Mar-04-15 K Hjortstam vs Genestier, 1995     Mar-01-15 Chandler vs Adams, 1989     Feb-14-15 Karpov vs Kramnik, 1996     Feb-14-15 M M Domingos vs Z Nasreldin, 2014    Feb-14-15 A Riazantsev vs I Sokolov, 2014    Feb-14-15 V Jorquera Cabello vs M Ibar, 2014    Jan-14-15 Van Wely vs Carlsen, 2015     Jan-01-15 J Steckner vs V Burmakin, 2004
