NBZ has kibitzed 517 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-26-24 I Abonyi vs Hromadka, 1908    NBZ: I loved the finish: 13. ... Bxd6! Not that hard to see, perhaps, but it's very pretty at least to my eyes.      Sep-08-24 Svidler vs Glek, 1996    NBZ: <vajeer> These are some mind-bogglingly complex lines. I suspect Svidler didn't see them all the way through (though I wouldn't be surprised if he did!), but sensed the complications would work out in his favor. What's especially difficult about this line that you presented is ...      Apr-28-24 Pilnik vs Najdorf, 1942    NBZ: This game is complete bonkers. Amazing play from both White and Black.      Apr-26-24 T Beerdsen vs V Ivic, 2023   NBZ: Amazing game. Surprised not to see much kibitzing on it. Svidler and Howell had a nice discussion of it here: https://youtu.be/6BLKhjyN_Yk?t=15338      Feb-04-24 A R Saleh Salem vs L Mendonca, 2024   NBZ: Quite a similar combo to the one played in today's puzzle, from the game Reshevsky vs Y Matsumoto, 1970      Feb-04-24 Reshevsky vs Y Matsumoto, 1970    NBZ: <thegoodanarchist: They were saving it for later, I suppose. 2024, to be precise.> Or, perhaps, they never had such plans, but heeded the call of chickens0003. How shall we ever know?      Jan-30-24 E Alekseev vs D Maghalashvili, 2005    NBZ: <Lloyd:> I was thinking of that too. Though I could not find a knock-out punch, the following line looks really good for White after 39. ... Qg8: 40. Rf6! (threatening Rxh6+) Rxf6 41. Qxf6 and now h6 cannot be defended. Black could now try 41. ... Qf7 42. Qxh6+ Kg8 but it ...      Jan-28-24 Wei Yi    NBZ: He seems to be doing very well, has a shot at winning Tata Steel.      Jan-14-24 W Hug vs Szabo, 1973    NBZ: I got Qa2 but after exd4 was planning Qa6. This would win except Black now has a perpetual with Qd1+ Kg2 Rxg3+!      Jun-20-23 Gheorghiu vs Sax, 1972    NBZ: <Brenin>: Two quiet but deadly moves. Would be so hard to spot in a game, especially as Nf4 is so tempting.
