Crocomule has kibitzed 70 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jul-23-13 Victor Baja    Crocomule: Thanks Alchemist! No, but that one is also fantastic. The other I found in Lommer's 2nd collection of endgame compositions.      Sep-06-11 R Nezhmetdinov vs M Kamyshov, 1950    Crocomule: Not that it matters... but wasn't this Yaroslavl '51?      Feb-17-11 Tal vs Myagmarsuren, 1974    Crocomule: If anyone ever asks you why we love him: 18...Nd5 19.Qg8+ Ke7 20.Nf5+ Kf6 21.d:e5+ K:e5 22.f4+ Ke4 23.Nd6+! Q:d6 24.Qh7+ ...      Feb-16-11 J H Donner vs Tal, 1961    Crocomule: Donner has a point... 23. Qe2: "Unjustified restraint at a moment when an excellent opportunity exists for 23. Rd6..." But, of course, Tal's fantastic handling of the endgame was too much for Donner.      Jan-31-11 R Nezhmetdinov vs Suetin, 1947    Crocomule: The gnothi seauton game, as the old timers called it..      Jan-04-11 Arvid Kubbel    Crocomule: Someone told me that Vladimir Ilyich actually solved a Platov bros. composition? Anyone know...      Dec-20-10 Tal vs S Johannessen, 1959    Crocomule: 11...Nbd7 is a typical example of the difference between a master and a gm. He was afraid to play 11...Nc6 because of the potentially isolated c6 pawn, while the half-open lines and support of d5 would have compensated. Compare to 13. d:e6 in Khermlin-Tal '68.      Dec-14-10 Tal vs Larsen, 1965    Crocomule: See Ivkov-Kagan '79... which is odd, because Misha mentions him in his analysis.      Dec-13-10 Tal vs Speelman, 1985   Crocomule: If I may request a game not in the database... the blitz game Jon and Misha played after this quick draw. It's in Attack with Tal. Thanks!      Dec-13-10 Tal vs F Olafsson, 1961    Crocomule: If you really love Tal... read his comments to 20...Kg8 in Life and Games. It begins, "Black chooses the path of least resistance".. a phrase he usually reserves for Larsen.      Sep-01-09 Keres vs I Raud, 1937     Aug-31-09 Keres vs Fine, 1937     Aug-19-09 R Nezhmetdinov vs O Chernikov, 1962     Aug-11-09 P F Schmidt vs Keres, 1936     Aug-09-09 talisman chessforum     Aug-08-09 Botvinnik vs Tal, 1960     Aug-08-09 Keres vs Taimanov, 1951     Aug-08-09 Tal vs Rantanen, 1979     Jul-31-09 Tal vs M Mukhin, 1972     Jul-31-09 Tal vs D Mohrlok, 1962     Jul-22-09 Paul Keres     Jul-15-09 Tal vs J Grefe, 1991     Jun-19-09 Milan Vidmar     Jun-19-09 Vidmar vs Euwe, 1929     Jun-19-09 H Liebert vs Tal, 1972    Jun-19-09 G Botterill vs Tal, 1973     Jun-14-09 Igor Khenkin     Jun-12-09 Tal vs M Romero, 1992     Jun-12-09 Tal vs Larsen, 1977     Jun-12-09 Tal vs N Padevsky, 1963     Jun-10-09 M Burkett vs D Fritzinger, 1969     May-27-09 Mikhail Tal     May-27-09 Kotov vs Keres, 1950     May-08-09 Tal vs V Danov, 1972    May-06-09 Tal vs Gurgenidze, 1969     Apr-26-09 Tal vs Velimirovic, 1979     Mar-01-09 De la Riva Aguado vs Bologan, 2001     Feb-22-09 James Tarjan     Jan-29-09 G Mititelu vs Tal, 1958     Jan-23-09 Richard Taylor chessforum     Jan-22-09 Phony Benoni chessforum     Jan-22-09 Kibitzer's Café     Jan-13-09 Mitkov vs Rublevsky, 2000     Jan-09-09 Blackburne vs NN, 1863     Jan-09-09 P H Nielsen vs Larsen, 1997     Dec-31-08 Tal vs J Miller, 1988     Dec-31-08 Robert Hammie    Dec-29-08 Dennis Fritzinger     Dec-24-08 Tal vs D Keller, 1959     Dec-24-08 Tal vs Tolush, 1957     Dec-24-08 Fischer vs Tal, 1959     Dec-21-08 Tal vs Suetin, 1969     Dec-17-08 Peter Hugh Clarke     Dec-06-08 Tal vs Andersson, 1983     Nov-20-08 Frost vs J Pope, 1988     Nov-20-08 John Pope     Oct-24-08 Tal vs Z Szymczak, 1974
