Dec-30-07 Reshevsky vs Tal, 1970 
|
Seraphina: Ah, Tal... thank goodness there were no computers around in his day to take away the dash... That's perhaps why the preparation wasn't so great. Luzhin's Defence... originally a book, The Defense by Vladimir Nabokov. I found the film to be utter rubbish from beginning to end, ... |

Apr-19-07 C H Alexander vs Z Milev, 1954 
|
Seraphina: Yes Black could plug away at it.... but probably got depressed. Ke7, 11. qxd8 Kxd8, 12. Bg5 Be7 13. 0-0-0+ followed by Re1 Black is a pawn down with one isolated pawn and his position is tied up in knots. Not really a fun game..... White could also bring the B back to d5 on move ... |

Jun-19-06 L Christiansen vs J Hickl, 1998 
|
Seraphina: <Frenchfrog> It's not really what the Pirc is about. A counter thrust on the Qside is more in spirit with the opening, I'd say: c5. Hickl in fact played the whole opening passively (b6 is also kind of a waste), and invites the full attack with 12...dxe5, freeing the e3 ... |

May-26-06 Amherst vs Williams College, 1859 
|
Seraphina: Ahhh! Amherst, home of Emily Dickinson.... And nice to see Amherst College play such a creative KG, very Steinitz-like, I'd say.... I lived in Amherst for 4 years, loved it, went to U-Mass, which is also there (any almuni around???)... For those interested, the area is called the ... |
