Apr-09-22 Kasparov vs Bacrot, 2000    Scuvy: Unfortunately I do not have the source for Kasparov's comment (it might be in Peter Wells' book on the Scotch) to the effect he (Kasparov) believed the Scotch Game was the only other double e-pawn opening to present Black with as many (or almost as many) strategic problems as the ...      Mar-05-22 J Mortimer vs A Skipworth, 1883    Scuvy: How can this opening be classed as a Richter Attack? Richter 's choice was almost always 6 e5. This is more akin to an Exchange French.      Feb-20-22 M Al-Modiahki vs Tin Htun Zaw, 1999   Scuvy: This game appears in John Nunn's excellent primer "Learn Chess." For whatever reason, Dr. Nunn does not mention 5...e6 to break the diagonal of White's powerful light-squared Bishop. The move played, 5...c5, appears to lose immediately.      Feb-19-22 R P Michell vs G A Thomas, 1935    Scuvy: From the tournament book Hastings 1934-35, edited by James Schroeder: "A disappointment for one of the truly great gentlemen who was also a superb sportsman...When I sent Thomas a copy of my book of the AVRO 1938 Tournament he sent me a thank-you note."      Jan-30-22 Raymond Keene    Scuvy: Happy Birthday to you , Mr. Keene! I very much enjoyed your books on Petrosian and Nimzovich. In my opinion, Flank Openings is one of the very few opening books that truly teaches ideas behind the openings.      Dec-25-21 Santa Claus    Scuvy: Dear Santa: Thanks for the premium membership for 2021. I have enjoyed posting and learning from the CG community. Merry Christmas to the CG admins and all my fellow members! May we have peace on earth, good will to all and a great year of chess in 2022. Regards, Scuvy      Dec-11-21 Alireza Firouzja    Scuvy: Responding to ndg2's spot-on assessment, one possibility for a good drawing weapon would be the Marshall Attack in the Ruy Lopez. It may not be what Kramnik or Carlsen would use, but as Bogdan Lalic stated in his excellent book on the Marshall, Garry Kasparov made a point of not ...      Nov-27-21 USA-ch / Zonal (1969)   Scuvy: One of the overlooked gems of US chess literature is the tournament book written by Morton Siegel. As a teenage scholastic player I obtained a copy from the USCF for a whopping $1 or $2 (can't recall the exact price). It has biographical sketches of the players, great photos and ...      Nov-26-21 Bronstein vs Evans, 1955    Scuvy: This game appears in Evans' New Ideas in Chess, p. 137.      Nov-26-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021    Scuvy: I realize the disappointment of not having a live feed through CG for this game. However, I am appreciative of the members who took time to input the moves for this game. What a contrast between the instant information of the Internet age and the times when printed game scores and ...      Nov-21-21 Yanofsky vs Evans, 1947     Nov-21-21 Smyslov vs Evans, 1952     Nov-13-21 F Olafsson vs Portisch, 2008    Nov-13-21 Portisch vs F Olafsson, 1969    Oct-09-21 J T Barendregt vs Portisch, 1963    Jul-05-21 C Hartlaub vs A Meyer, 1916     Jul-04-21 A Moiseenko vs Lu Shanglei, 2014     May-24-21 Knaak vs Adorjan, 1985     Feb-13-21 K Richter vs Saemisch, 1933     Jan-09-21 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937    Jan-09-21 G Milos vs Polgar, 1996     Nov-01-20 Gelfand vs Shirov, 2007     Oct-03-20 A Volokitin vs Fridman, 2016    Sep-28-20 T K Ozgur vs J M Miciano, 2018     Aug-29-20 Wolfgang Uhlmann     Aug-19-20 Alekhine vs Lasker, 1914    Jul-24-20 NN vs D Freeman, 2018     Jul-16-20 M Bonch-Osmolovsky vs B Baranov, 1953     Jul-14-20 Herbert Weil vs Alekhine, 1942     Jun-19-20 Andrei Volokitin     May-19-20 Robert James Fischer     Apr-06-20 Ed.
