transpo has kibitzed 120 times to chessgames   [less...]

Nov-06-12 R Henley vs L Christiansen, 1979   transpo: Dec-29-05 Egghead: Why 31.Rc6? It seems to give up the exchange for no clear compensation. 31...bxc6 and White has a protected passer on c6. That is ample compensation for giving up the exchange. Somehwere during the rest of the game Black will have to return at least the exchange ...      Oct-03-12 Ivkov vs L Bauza, 1955    transpo: After 5.Nf3 the correct move is 5...Nc6 5...Nd7 blocks the diagonal of Black's light square B unnecessarily. It is important to keep this diagonal open in order to play ...Bg4 at the right moment to pin the White N at f3. In the Smith-Morra White has sac'd a pawn for 1 to 2 tempi. ...      Apr-16-12 Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1991    transpo: Chuckieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! you're a genius      Apr-14-12 L Dubeck vs R Weinstein, 1958    transpo: 5...g6?! 5..d6, keeping an eye on e5 which is a focal point for tactical shots in the Smith Morra Accepted when White plays e5 to initiate attacks.      Feb-01-12 J Krejcik vs H Suechting, 1908    transpo: <Domdaniel>Your historical perspective may be correct, but my kibitz is intended for today's Smith Morra and today's player. Transpositions abound in every opening.      Jan-04-12 L Kurtesch vs Berta, 1958    transpo: 5...g6??, much better is 5...d6. 5...g6? makes an eventual ...e6 impossible in case of White's Bc4; which will come as sure as the rain.      Dec-08-11 D Zardus vs A Steventon, 1986    transpo: Black's error was playing 5...Nf6?? Never play ...Nf6 prior to playing the necessary ...a6 which denies White the crucial square b5 which is the focal point of all White's tactical shots after e5      Dec-08-11 B G Moore vs P Orr, 1977    transpo: 6...Nf6?? is an error. Black must never play 6...Nf6 prior to playing 6...a6 denying White the critical b5 square which is the focal point of White's tactical shots after e5      Dec-08-11 B Stokes vs Bett, 1974    transpo: 6...Nf6?? is a well known error in this opening because of White's next move 7.e5. Black must never move ...Nf6 before the propylactic 6...a6 denying White the crucial b5 square which is the focal point of his tactical shots after e5.      Nov-18-11 V Zherdev vs Levenfish, 1954    transpo: After 6.Bc4 never play 6...Nf6 as it exposes Black to many tactical shots after 7.e5. Much better is 6...a6 denying White access to b5 which is the focal point of his tactical shots after 7.e5      Nov-18-11 Matulovic vs L Segi, 1953     Nov-18-11 Matulovic vs V Sokolov, 1953     Nov-03-11 K Shirazi vs C Kleijn, 2006     Nov-03-11 A G Jakobsen vs I Carlsen, 2007     Nov-03-11 S Sunyasakta vs S Gour, 2008     Oct-16-11 K Smith vs Mecking, 1972     Oct-03-11 P Kufa vs T Koch, 2011    Sep-20-11 Kibitzer's Café     Sep-17-11 J Freyre Forest vs A Rittiphunyawong, 1984     Sep-12-11 J Stopa vs M Fierro, 2011    Jul-28-11 H Boesch vs A Dasaolu, 2011     Feb-24-11 J Killane vs S Godley, 2009     Jan-19-11 I Haitin vs N Miezis, 2011     Dec-15-10 D Moody vs Nakamura, 1999     Nov-18-10 K Smith vs Evans, 1972     Nov-11-10 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010     Nov-05-10 A J Cooper vs J L Foster, 1972     Oct-21-10 B G Moore vs J Silman, 1991     Oct-04-10 L Milman vs Ehlvest, 2003     Sep-15-10 R Malpert vs D Gurevich, 1992    Sep-09-10 M Ezsol vs A Sherzer, 1991    Sep-07-10 P Baran vs O Vacek, 2000    Sep-07-10 N Carr vs Chandler, 1989    Sep-02-10 Landa vs Kasparov, 1987     Sep-01-10 H Schug vs E Vancini, 1990    Sep-01-10 Bronstein vs I Dahl, 1990    Sep-01-10 M Glienke vs H Krieger, 1986    Sep-01-10 J Hardinge vs A Lewis, 1971    Sep-01-10 Z Topalovic vs F Bistric, 2001    Aug-25-10 H Arnold vs K Hussain, 1992    Aug-25-10 M Illescas vs J de la Villa Garcia, 1987     Aug-25-10 L J Torres vs T Abouchaaya, 1986    Aug-25-10 M Glienke vs N Spiridonov, 1983    Aug-24-10 F Roeder vs K Gawehns, 1981     Aug-23-10 A J Love vs M R Freeman, 1978    Aug-23-10 B Marsick vs K W Lynn, 1977    Aug-21-10 Mats Lindgren vs M Lindhe, 1975    Aug-21-10 Mats Lindgren vs P Haugli, 1976    Aug-21-10 L J Torres vs W Schmidt, 1974    Aug-21-10 M Basman vs F Burgener, 1966    Aug-21-10 B Manzardo vs A Giustolisi, 1970    Aug-21-10 R H Watson vs J Farrand, 1968    Aug-21-10 N Macleod vs L Sanchez, 1958    Aug-20-10 G Spain vs M Barlow, 2008    Aug-20-10 Lenderman vs M Dougherty, 2008     Aug-13-10 W Peierl vs I Somogyi, 2005    Aug-11-10 B South vs T Neshan, 1980     Aug-09-10 R Hardarson vs de Firmian, 1999    Aug-09-10 A Kristjansson vs T Einarsson, 1997    Aug-06-10 B Kristjansson vs M Roberts, 1967     Aug-03-10 M Rich vs P Makepeace, 2010    Jul-30-10 G Arrieta vs G Cabezas, 2009    Jul-25-10 P Hrvacic vs V Zivkovic, 2007    Jul-25-10 G Spain vs L McLaren, 2008    Jul-25-10 J Haarr vs B A Rolvag, 2009     Jul-23-10 B van Opheusden vs A Mohd Omar, 2007    Jul-19-10 J Thomas vs R Britton, 2006    Jul-15-10 B Wall vs K Saint Amant, 1991     Jul-15-10 Tal vs M Neibults, 1959     Jul-09-10 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1960     Jul-08-10 M Young vs C Briscoe, 2007    Jul-05-10 E N Pedersen vs V Bove Quist, 1988    Jul-04-10 T Duran vs R Forster, 1995    Jul-04-10 R Ackermann vs D King, 1992    Jul-04-10 Harris vs J Silman, 1978     Jul-04-10 N Regan vs J H Hodgson, 1994     Jul-03-10 P Holt vs R Palliser, 1995
