Mar-12-08 G Atwood vs J Wilson, 1801 
|
Capthahn86: My analysis was without computer assistance. The key is that every move is forced and patience. You gain more knowledge by figuring things out for yourself and with limited assistance. |

|
Capthahn86: This game is a paradigm of what will happen if you violate fundamentals rules in chess! i.e. bring out your Queen too early and don't develop your pieces. |

Mar-01-06 Short vs Karpov, 1997 
|
Capthahn86: Besides 44. Rg4?? is there really any other rook move that Karpov could do? No matter where he moves the rook he has to give back material and go into a losing position because of the unstoppable pawns. If ...44.Rg3 then 45.Be2+,Kh6. 46.f6, Kg6. 47.Bh5+!, Kxh5. 48.f7... and white |

|
Capthahn86: I know that I'm not the greatest player and that I will be made fun of for this comment. But I literally solved this problem in a few seconds. Maybe it was just luck, pattern recognition, or both, but the answer just seemed to come to me. |
