Oct-06-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008) 
| |
| Darth Lasker: <<Btw, we must consider Ponomariov being the youngest WCh and count all FIDE WCh being in the Hall of Fame among Lasker, Alekhine, Fischer, ... [insert your favourite WCh here] , otherwise we are unfair to them, because they had no oportunity to challenge Kasparov (nor ... |

Oct-06-08 Capablanca vs Marshall, 1918
| |
| Darth Lasker: I like this game. It shows the power of attack and defence, the way how brave player plays for win with black pieces against stronger opponent. I like Marshall's 11. - ♘g4 more than modern 11. - c6. |

Oct-02-08 Jiri Vesely
| |
| Darth Lasker: Yes, but there is also the dark side. Jiri Vesely has been long time StB informer under nickname "Šachista" (Chessplayer). (StB - Czechoslowak communist secret police.)

Sep-08-07 Chiburdanidze vs J Jackova, 2004
| |
| Darth Lasker: <beenthere240: I would appreciate it if some expert could tell me why this is a draw.>It was playoff match game and black had to win, Chiburdanidze was point ahead and needed draw only. Well, i would play 37. - f2+ 38.Kxf2 b5 with threat Qb6+ and let the board flame, e.g. |

Sep-07-07 Camilla Baginskaite
| |
| Darth Lasker: Many years ago...
In "Ceskoslovensky Sach" 9/1986 there was an article about some European girls cup in Vilnius. Ildiko Madl dominated, Camilla came 2nd. The game Madl vs Baginkaite was kinda sharp: Camilla sacrificed three pawns and got dangerous attack, then she even offered |

Sep-07-07 Evans Gambit (C51)
| |
| Darth Lasker: Well, again. About Evans you should anwer these points: A) 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 and now 3. - Bc5 probably isn't the best move. 3. - Nf6 promises more (e.g. 4.Ng5 Bc5! - Traxler counterattack - or 4.d4 ed 5.0-0 Bc5 6.e5 d5!) B) Evans Declined (4.b4 Bb6) is considered good for |

| Darth Lasker: A)<Sneaky> Winawer: <Just to clarify: We're talking about 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 e5!? 4.e3 and then ...e4 is strongly recommended> It means you are playing against French with tempo loss. It can't be good, moreover the similar line in French with reverse colors (1.e4 |

Jul-27-06 Ljubojevic vs Korchnoi, 1985
| |
| Darth Lasker: <This reminds me: I seem to recall some footage in "The Great Chess Movie" in which Timman and Ljubojevic agree that they are both more talented than Karpov and that it is mostly Karpov's team of Russian analysts that allow him such success.> This opinion is totally ... |
