Lord Osiris has kibitzed 29 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-01-10 V Goglidze vs A Bannik, 1954    Lord Osiris: Guessed is the wrong word. Reasoned is a better one.      Mar-26-10 T C Jensen vs A Kier, 1920   Lord Osiris: absolutely not mac. the idea of the a and c pawns protecting each other is that one cant be captured without the other queening. it is true that if the white king got to b5 while both of blacks pawns were on a5 and c5 then white has them both, however the idea is to not get into      Jul-27-09 W Fairhurst vs Menchik, 1935    Lord Osiris: Chess as far as I understood it, instead of a sport, was more of a microcosm of war; and resignation in a lost battle was utilized to spare the needless loss of life. Thus, in this light, resigning in chess shows more of the mentality of choosing to preserve the life of ones ...      Apr-11-09 Shirov vs Movsesian, 2005    Lord Osiris: PolishPentium after: 35.Qe7...Bd3+ comes: 36.Kg2...Be4+ (blacks only check) 37.Kg3...Qa3+ (again blacks only check) 38.Kh4...Qh3+ (and again the only check) 39.Kg5...Qh6+ (need I say it again?) 40.Kxg4 and black has no more checks left and mate is coming or loss of      Mar-05-09 Steinitz vs Schlechter, 1898    Lord Osiris: WhiteRook48, to answer your question heres how the line would go: 36.Rf6...h5 37.Qe6...Qc2+ 38.Kg3...Rg6 39.Qf7+...Rg7 40.Rh6+...Kxh6 and the killer final move is 41.Qxh5++      Feb-28-09 Gavrilov vs Kevorkian, 1990    Lord Osiris: al wazir, to answer your inquiry about 28...Qf8, i believe whites best response is 29.Qh5 preventing hxg5 and threatening the f7 pawn which cannot move due to to 30.Qg6+...Kh8 31.Bxf6+ winning blacks queen. 30.Bxf7 is coming setting up a deadly attack. an option is to try to ...      Feb-27-09 Dolmatov vs Lautier, 1988    Lord Osiris: Beautiful finish Dolmatov. Morphy would be proud.      Jan-19-09 R Rubenchik vs Ashley, 2000    Lord Osiris: Sorry mostly average Joe, but in your analysis of 30...Rbb2, your line involving 32...Nf6 is met easily with h3. this prevents 33...Ng4+ 34.Rxg4 Rd5++. 33...Nd7 is alright but after 34.Rxd7 Rxd7, 35. e4 white is down an exchange, but still alive for the moment which is much ...      Oct-23-08 Antoshin vs F Rabar, 1964    Lord Osiris: Rabar's fatal move here it would seem is 18...Ng8. after this move whites dominance is assured and at least a substantial material advantage is to follow. I analysed every possible move following 18...Ng8,19.Qe5+ as follows: 19...f6 loses poorly to 20.Ne6+,Kh8 or Kh6 (if Kf7, ...      Feb-07-08 Karpov vs Shirov, 2000    Lord Osiris: sorry, for the last scenario after Kxf7 and Qxf2, Qf6 is the winning move for white.
