Elroch has kibitzed 25 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-01-10 C Gokhale vs Bologan, 1999    Elroch: Yes, 9. ... Nxd5 is a typo. The move actually played must have been 9. ... Nh5      Nov-11-09 H Steingrimsson vs E Perelshteyn, 2008   Elroch: Black has an advantage at the end of this game. I can only assume this is a (very) incomplete score, or an incorrect result.      Sep-22-09 Alekhine vs G Goossens, 1933    Elroch: 22. b4 is nice!      Jun-16-09 Psakhis vs R Soffer, 1995   Elroch: This game has no capture before move 64 and was still decisive due to the frustration of black!      May-05-09 J Sheehan vs L Roche, 1974   Elroch: Rxc2 is an interesting idea here, but it is definitely not the best move (the prosaic Qxf5 probably is). The sacrifice proposed by tnmn6789 turns a clear win into an unclear game, so would be a mistake.      Dec-09-06 Adorjan vs I Polgar, 1972    Elroch: 15. ... Bxd5 16.Nxd5 Nxd5 17. Qh5+ 19. ...Bxe3 20. Qxg6 20. ...Rxh6 21. Nxf5! gxf5 22. Qxf5 Qc8 23. Ne4! ...      Nov-27-06 Delchev vs Macieja, 2006   Elroch: 28. Rh8+ Kf7 29. Qf3+ Ke8 30. Rxf8 Qxf8 31. Bxc6 may be an even clearer win.      Nov-19-06 J Polgar vs Korchnoi, 2006    Elroch: To be precise, 30. Rg5 was a move that probably left white with a slight disadvantage against 30. ...f5!. (Other moves for white also seem to leave black with a slight disadvantage). It was also a rather elementary trap into which one of the greatest players never to be world ...      Nov-09-06 E Schiller vs J Tompkins, 1970    Elroch: Actually 6. Nxf7 is considered unclear after 6. ...Kxf7 7.Qf3+ Ke6 8. Nc3 Ncb4 9. a3 Nxc2 10. Kd1 Nxa1 11. Nxd5. 6. d4 may be better      Oct-14-06 Staunton vs Horwitz, 1846    Elroch: Horwitz lost this due to an error on move 70 in an instructive rook versus pawn ending. 70. ...b3? was the losing move, but 70. ...Kd4! is a textbook example of doing two jobs with the king, marching towards c2 by an indirect route to delay the white king. 70. ...Kd4! 71. Rb7 Kc3 72.
