Apr-02-22 Xiong vs So, 2021
| |
| Albanius: So-Nakamura Berlin 2022 followed this game for 26 moves, varying with 27 Qxb2.
Same result. |
|
|
|
Mar-22-22 S Bouaziz vs Nunn, 1979
| |
| Albanius: EvaLuation: chances for both sides -
in other words, two chances: Slim and Nunn |
|
|
|
Feb-23-22 Mamedyarov vs N Abdusattorov, 2022 
| |
| Albanius: This is E68, not E67 in my 1 volume edition of ECO (2010), through 9...Nc5. But Shak's 10 f3 does not appear in the columns, nor the footnote. |
|
|
|
Dec-24-21 Kramnik vs Svidler, 1998
| |
| Albanius: The natural looking 15..c5? loses material due to the pin on the d file: 16 dxc5 Bxc5?
17 Ne4 Be6 or Bb6 (..Qc7 18 b4)
18 Qc6+- |
|
|
|
Dec-21-21 Kasparov vs Hjartarson, 1988
| |
| Albanius: In the final postion, trying to create a mating net with 44..Bxf3?? would run into 45. Bxf5+ Kg8
46. Rd8+ Kf7
47. Rf8#,
or if 45..g6,
46. Rd7+ Kg8?
47. Be6+ Kh8
48. Bd4+ and mate next
but if 46..Kh8 W has to play the crass
47 Bxc2 |
|
|
|
Jul-24-21 Caruana vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2021
| |
| Albanius: After Fabi's TN 18 Bc4! Qxc4 19 Bd6!, it seems that
19..Bxd4!, the move that looked obvious to me, holds equality.
Stockfish here says 20 Rxd4 Qb3 is equal (0.00 - 37 ply) |
|
|
|
Jul-11-21 Viktor Korchnoi
| |
| Albanius: I would put Caruana-Korchnoi 2011 Caruana vs Korchnoi, 2011
among the notable games - from the black side of a Ruy Lopez, 79 YO Korchnoi crushed 19 YO Fabi, already an elite GM, like a bug. |
|
|
|
Jul-10-21 Lupulescu vs Giri, 2021
| |
| Albanius: Actually 30 ..Qc6? is the losing move.
SF says 30..Rg5=
31 Rf2 [Re8?? Qxg2#] Qg4
32 Re8 Qd1+ with a perp. |
|
|
|
Jun-27-21 Showalter vs Pillsbury, 1897
| |
| Albanius: Leonard Barden reported that Nepo surprised Radjabov with Showalter's 7 c3! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...
in the 2021 Paris Rapid & Blitz:
https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t...
"Radjabov preferred 7...Be7 8 cxd4 b5 9 Bb3 0-0 10 Nc3 Bb7 11 Re1 Bf6 12 Bf4 when White ... |
|
|
|
May-31-21 So vs Carlsen, 2021
| |
| Albanius: A note on the finish:
38 Rg4 was a last trap:
38..Kxe5?? 39 Re1+ and W wins.
But after 38..Rf2!,
39 R/1g2 and Nf3 lose routinely,
while 39 R/4-g2? Ng3+! mates. |
