Knightf7mate Member since Feb-04-18 Wood pusher only. Seeing the spectacular tactics in the Game of the Day each morning shows how much more there is to the game than memorizing openings. Playing through games of Fischer, Kasparov and all the other greats is like listening to Mozart or Beethoven.

Apr-06-25 Colle vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1923   Knightf7mate: Yes. I have z-b’s book the art of chess combinations. Very good book      Mar-27-25 M Rodshtein vs Ivanchuk, 2025   Knightf7mate: Speculative or not, the engine evaluates the position as +1 after 18.cxd5. White’s initiative overpowers black. So I would say, after the sac the game was strategically won.      Mar-24-25 Fischer vs R Harman, 1958    Knightf7mate: Perhaps someone can do justice to Mr Harman’s bio. After following the link from stone free & reading the bio from https://www.kingpinchess.net/2014/1... , he deserves to be remembered.      Feb-21-25 V Fenoglio vs G Puiggros, 1938   Knightf7mate: Notice Black has never moved his h rook. Very sad. Where did Black go wrong? How could he bring his rook into the game, having opened the h rank at move 9? Instead of 17..g5, Black should play R h5 with a good game. Stockfish ranks this as -1.18 after 23 plies.      Jan-19-25 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2024   Knightf7mate: Honza, you are right on the mark. I can’t explain why Hikaru missed K-f1? He outplayed Carlsen with several aggressive moves up to that point. Any ideas? Time pressure, perhaps? I am glad he got the win in the end.      Jan-02-25 World Blitz Championship (2024)    Knightf7mate: Couldn’t FIDE have tossed the both of them and declared the next runner up winner?      Dec-28-24 World Rapid Championship (2024)    Knightf7mate: I agree that the tip of the iceberg is the jeans. The true issue is FIDE opposition to adoption of Freestyle tournaments, which MG supports. Yes, Magnus is having a “Bobby” moment Let us hope it is only temporary. Let us not forget that Kasparov was so fed up with FIDE he ...      Dec-09-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024)    Knightf7mate: I finally figured out what’s been eating at Ding the past year or two. I wonder if anyone else here has figured it out.      Nov-14-24 Vachier-Lagrave vs Carlsen, 2023    Knightf7mate: Did anyone take a look at the standings for this touranment? MCL crushed the field. I wonder what he had to eat and drink that week. Amazing to build that big a lead over so many players of relatively equal strength.      Oct-25-24 United States Championship (2024)    Knightf7mate: I see the trophy. But can it type?
