Shah Mat has kibitzed 286 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-01-10 V Goglidze vs A Bannik, 1954    Shah Mat: i peeked at the answer by accident. next time i'll experiment on Fritz 12 / Rybka, but at least i got the first move =P      Apr-29-10 Kibitzer's Café    Shah Mat: knock knock who's there? ringo's most complex drumming.      Apr-27-10 Shaobin vs Koneru, 2005    Shah Mat: the revealed check after 30...d2+ gets the pawn across the finish line and winning is simply a technical exercise.      Apr-26-10 V Vepkhvishvili vs Z Rukhadze, 1965    Shah Mat: saw the queen sac immediately, then thought Rd8+, tried that out and saw it failed to the 7th rank rook, then went back to the Q sac and found it.      Apr-23-10 Anand - Topalov World Championship Match (2010)    Shah Mat: <hehateme> i know far more women with BSc Chem. or Biology than men.
