Atking has kibitzed 4748 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-03-23 A Matanovic vs A Planinc, 1975   Atking: To avoid Bxh2+ trick simply 15.Qc4 then 16.Rae1 White has the easiest game. N=B here.      Sep-03-23 P van der Weide vs G Ligterink, 1979    Atking: Morality: it is not good to drink a beer on the move 39.      Sep-03-23 Morphy vs de Riviere, 1863   Atking: An incredible game for 1863.      Aug-30-23 Kramnik vs D Gukesh, 2023   Atking: <ultrausurper: Gukesh boasts a perfect 4-0 score in four games against former World Champion Kramnik.> Yes that's impressive.      Aug-21-23 Carlsen vs N Abasov, 2023    Atking: Difficult to admit the what has been a weakness from the opening, c5/c6 now helps to create mate patterns - no escape on b4 - Under time pressure one could easily understand that it was difficult to change the state of frame on mind and players have missed 34...Qf1!      Aug-16-23 D Gukesh vs Carlsen, 2023    Atking: Gukesh 5.e4 is going to be an interesting gambit yet 43 moves latter black e pawn is victorious 48...e2 0-1 Impressive understanding of Chess! Gukesh is young I'm sure he will learn a lot from this game.      Aug-15-23 V S Gujrathi vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023   Atking: The drama came when a diagonal opens another one 9.Bc4 d5 now Bg3 is wonderful. Maybe 6..e6 was more circonspect.      Aug-09-23 B Bjornsson vs S Bjornsson, 2014   Atking: <offramp: A definite air of prearrangement - or at least of collusion - fills the atmosphere.> especially when 10.Re1 d5 11.exdep Nxd6 12.Ng5 0-0 13.Nxf7 RxN 14.BxR+ KxB 15.Qh5+ xBa5 is possible.      Aug-07-23 Vachier-Lagrave vs Sindarov, 2023    Atking: MVL was probably surprised by such preparation and was no ready to admit the position is equal around move 20th 23.Qd3 seems to keep the balance      Jul-23-23 M A Tabatabaei vs R Praggnanandhaa, 2023   Atking: The pawn structure is incredibly challenging. 13.b4!?? 16.gxN!?? You don't go to such line without deep preparation. For if 18...Bf6 19.Qg4 Kf7 20.f5!? ...20...e5 21.c4!!? Crazy 21...dxc 22.BxN Qd4 23.Qg2! ~ 24.Be3 and if 23...QxR? 24.Qd5+ Ke7 25.Bd2 Qb2 26.Be3 wins
