Dionysius has kibitzed 61 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-01-11 Lev Polugaevsky    Dionysius: Hi Chessgames.There are so many images of the great man from a search of google images that I can't see why you haven't included one. Never mind, I'm off now, so over to you. Best wishes all, Dion      Apr-28-11 Short vs Timman, 1991    Dionysius: <Nasruddin Hodja> way back in Nov 06 07 came up with <Take the two following classics: Tarrasch vs Reti, 1922 and Alekhine vs Yates, 1922 Short was probably aware of both of these games and this awareness probably helped him originate the plan of the king march starting ...      Apr-18-11 Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, 1967    Dionysius: A foto of Fischer with the white pieces would have been more in keeping! ;-)      Apr-12-11 Duncan Suttles    Dionysius: It seems Suttles games often finish with end games with lots of pawns still on the board. I wonder if that's because his openings don't have the more usual early pawn confrontations in the centre of the board which tend to end up with exchanges?      Apr-12-11 Kibitzer's Café    Dionysius: Golly - whoever put up the biog for John Sugden: that was quick! Thanks      Apr-09-11 J Bath vs C Schulien, 1985   Dionysius: White takes an early bath      Apr-06-11 Robert James Fischer    Dionysius: Here's the link http://www.weissauctions.com/Defaul...      Apr-03-11 J Blake vs G A Hooke, 1891    Dionysius: <Riverbeast> Pretty sure it was Nigel Short who said 19th Century chess was "one person playing, the other applauding", but I can't easily put my hand on a source. Perhaps it was during one of his interviews at the London Classic 2010      Mar-31-11 R Iglesias vs Capablanca, 1893    Dionysius: Interesting that the only time Capablanca took notice of his queen enough to move it was when he sacrificed it. As if he's been saying all along "thanks Senor Iglesias, but I really don't need the queen odds - you do see that, don't you?"      Mar-30-11 W Hartston vs Uhlmann, 1973    Dionysius: At what move was the draw offer made please?
