Duracell has kibitzed 29 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-13-19 Helbig vs Schroeder, 1933   Duracell: According to Kurt Richter in his book "Kurzgeschichten um Schachfiguren", 2nd ed., pp. 96-97, the same game was played a few time before between Reinhardt and Graessler, in Hamburg too! <Amusingly enough, the position after 6.b4? occurred 4 times in my bases, and nobody played ...      Feb-22-19 Sliwa vs Golombek, 1966   Duracell: Ooops, no! In fact the rook is already in b8!      Oct-23-18 D Levy vs G Martinez Vaca, 1972    Duracell: 9...Qc4 appears to be an excellent move here ! (Marshall-Capablanca 1926)      Oct-22-18 M Parry vs L Paichadze, 2008    Duracell: <Sargon> Very nice nickname, reminds me of the C64 software...      Aug-15-18 A Yusupov vs Hjartarson, 1988    Duracell: Obviously incorrect game, because White has 8.Nxe4...      Jun-20-18 N Birnboim vs S Porat, 2004   Duracell: Clearly there is a bug here!

At least two other guys ...      Aug-17-17 Nakamura vs Kasparov, 2017    Duracell: For the promotion rules: I don't know! FIDE rules are free, but you must pay for USCF rules... That's odd and bad.      Jul-14-17 J Thompson vs Morphy, 1857    Duracell: If you wanna see a real zugzwang position, skip to the end. Black could win with 46...a1Q but he preferred to put his opponent into zugzwang. Once White will have no more kingside pawns, either the king must unprotect his knight or the knight must move, enabling promotion. Just ...      Jul-14-17 B Belyakov vs D Yuffa, 2017   Duracell: There is also an insane amount of theory in this line, the novelty appearing on the 14th move. As a matter of fact, White scores extremely well in this variation, and precise play is required for Black. Andersson or Carlsen would love to have this position as White and (according      Jul-14-17 A Riazantsev vs C Li, 2017    Duracell: The engine agrees with you However...
