May-30-25 Tartakower vs A Nimzowitsch, 1927 
|
DanQuigley: Nimzowitsch's comment to his move 31 (...Qd7) in Chess Praxis: "The weakness in the white camp, the pawn on e3, the b2 square, and the vulnerable position of the King, are now dealt with according to the rules of the art. See the technique of alternation in My System." I've done ... |

Mar-12-24 D Przepiorka vs Alekhine, 1922
|
DanQuigley: How do you keep your opponent from resigning? The same way any supervisor would: refuse to accept it. Presumably Przepiorka at adjournment wrote down a move on a piece of paper that was then sealed in an envelope. At the resumption of play the envelope would be opened, the ... |

Oct-04-23 Geller vs Fischer, 1970 
|
DanQuigley: No post with a chess move since July 2020. Clearly those who can't don't. At the risk of boring self-aggrandizing drama queens who normally pollute the air space here, let me just discuss the game. I don't understand what Geller could possibly have been thinking with the move ... |

Sep-01-23 A J Goldsby 
|
DanQuigley: When we played together in 1987 and traveled together your sighted game was more than I could handle. If only I had thought to request you be blindfolded. Wait a minute. It comes back to me now. We both tried to play a game or two without sight of a board on a car trip to a ... |

Aug-31-23 Kasparov vs P Wolff, 1988
|
DanQuigley: GM Ben Finegold did a nice 45-minute YouTube video on GM Patrick Wolff that featured this game in 2021. He really elucidated the tactics. It's worth seeking out. |

Jul-12-23 Grunfeld, Russian Variation (D81)
|
DanQuigley: The reason to play the move order 4.Qb3 (instead of 4.Nf3 Bg7 first) is that after 4...dxc4 5.Qxc4 (this move always protects d4 adequately) 5...Bg7 6.e4 0-0 is that White can now play 7.Be2 and avoid the 7.Nf3 Bg4 line via transposition: 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Qb3 dxc4 6.Qxc4 0-0 7.e4 Bg4. |

Jun-07-23 Greco vs NN, 1620
|
DanQuigley: One of the questions I like to ask myself when going over games such as this is, "When is the latest point the losing player could have played a different move and had a reasonable expectation of staving off loss if both players were grandmaster strength?" My candidate is Black's |

May-20-23 Rubinstein vs G Bartoszkiewicz, 1897
|
DanQuigley: You know, one would think that with computers and after all this time a consensus would have been reached regarding the position after Black's tenth move, but it is still not at all clear whose position is to be preferred. |

Dec-12-22 Tarrasch vs Mendelson, 1879
|
DanQuigley: Tarrasch himself noted alternative moves late in the game and annotated them in Three Hundred Chess Games (1894): If instead 27…gxf5, or 27…Nxf5, White will play 28.Nxf7. Should Black decide to take the exchange by 27…Nxf1, White retains a very strong attack using all his ... |
