Defrogger has kibitzed 30 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-13-23 Keres vs Kotov, 1950    Defrogger: Power of the pin and fork.. Bh5 set up the N sac, and allowed Nd5 and Bh4 with attacks. Great example of the idea of the threat is more powerful than the threat      Apr-12-23 J Bai vs Ding Liren, 2017   Defrogger: After 18. Qxb2 most patzers would play 18.. Rd2+ regaining the queen for rook + minor, satisfied with equality in exchange for disrupting the enemy king's safety. Lucky for the world, Ding chose the far-seeing 18.. Na4. He must have calculated 20.. Rd4!! when giving up his queen. ...      Feb-28-23 G Szabo vs N Stepanencu, 2023    Defrogger: Brilliancy prize-worthy!      Feb-15-23 Stahlberg vs J Bolbochan, 1941    Defrogger: Well, Black didn't play well here. Allowed opening of the g-file and Alekhine cannon against his King, pushed the h-pawn and promptly lost it, and had little coordination among the pieces.      Oct-09-22 B Rytov vs Tal, 1976    Defrogger: Saw up to e4, not the rest of the line. e2!! Pawn advanced to square defended by 4 pieces but still could not be captured!      Sep-17-22 Kotov vs Ragozin, 1953   Defrogger: 35. Nc6+ is a neat move, Black must play Bxc6 or lose the Q with no compensation. After 36. Qxc6, checkmate on b7 cannot be avoided. Enjoyed this attacking game from both sides, specifically throwing K-side pawns at the defense, and opening lines. Also this game showcases the ...      Sep-16-22 Aronian vs Anand, 2016   Defrogger: 33. Qxd3 instead of Rxb7 leads to an interesting, maybe eventually losing R+P endgame after 33.. Bxf2+ 34. Kxf2 Rxd3. Levon chose the quick end with a mate-in-4 Also, Vishy's king kNight did a 4 move circuit and got traded off, before full development. Chalk it up to the ...      Sep-04-22 E Varnusz vs J Pogats, 1979    Defrogger: Knowing it's a Sunday puzzle, the poor knight on g3 was forfeit. Forcing moves, and moves which increase pressure are Nxf7, forking Q & R, and Bg5, Re6 pinning and subsequently targeting the N on f6. I went with 19. Bg5 hxg3 20. Nxf7 Kxf7 21. Re6 Nd7 22. Rxd6 gxf2 23. Qxf2 (if ...      Jan-12-22 Abdusattorov vs Caruana, 2021   Defrogger: 2 zwischenzug checks before playing the devastating 46.h3! Knight only move is to Nh6 where it is trapped, and White king easily picks up the a-pawn. Impressive game      Jan-11-22 M Andersen vs P Salinas Herrera, 2021    Defrogger: Black: Take my queen with the bishop White : No thanks! Black: Take my queen with the rook White : No Black: Take my queen with the knight White : Ok if you insist Black: Mate sucka! Its like a crazyhouse game: knight is more valuable than a queen
