Sep-18-09 Jude Acers    Some call me Tim: Jude had some great moments in Fischer's 1964 simul tour, recounted in John Donaldson's "A Legend on the Road." At the time Acers was a student at LSU and reportedly he and Bobby had two individual blitz games that Fischer won, outside the simuls. Acers's rendition of a ...      Sep-17-09 Stein vs V Lepeshkin, 1965    Some call me Tim: 22...d6 was a lemon. Black played 20...Ra6 for a good reason then blocked the rook's defense of f6 and enabled the combo. White still would have had a great position but Nh6 would not have worked.      May-28-09 Boris Spassky    Some call me Tim: Incidentally to the references to the "big red book" of Spassky's games. First, Gligoric referred to a 355-game collection of Spassky games "edited by Dr. Wilhagen in Hamburg." Cafferty's book is not mentioned here or elsewhere. Second, there is the famous story of Bob Wade      May-20-09 M Gurevich vs R Ovetchkin, 2007    Some call me Tim: To those who wonder why a strong GM like Gurevich could not see what we find in a minute: We all have to remember we are dealing with a puzzle, not playing the game over the board. We know there has to be either a check or a block of the d-file otherwise Black has Rd8+ ...      May-15-09 Timman vs A Sokolov, 1987    Some call me Tim: Very clever. I searched for the right combination to trap the Q as I thought that was the theme, but did not find this. The other theme is overloading the Black Q on the B/e7 which curiously I also explored but could not find the right sequence.      May-12-09 A Reggio vs Chigorin, 1901    Some call me Tim: The mind is a funny thing...this one took me about a minute and a half because I tried the pin and uncovering of the Q second after trying ...Qh3+ and finding nothing forcing after Kg1. Yet Rxf4 seems a longshot even to consider. Pin to win!      May-09-09 L Milman vs J Fang, 2005    Some call me Tim: Glad everyone found this so simple. I guess I am behind as I truly find this configuration amazing and difficult to envision. The vaunted move 25. Qg4 was far easier to find for me.      Apr-01-09 NN vs G Abrahams, 1929    Some call me Tim: I did not catch this one but not because I misunderstood the castling rule. In fact I'm astonished that GMs reportedly were in the dark. But castling to win on the spot is not a usual theme unless you are Morphy. Most (if not all) who got this fast said they have seen this ...      Mar-31-09 Kudrin vs M Wilder, 1987    Some call me Tim: 26. Rf7 is better, no doubt. But after 26...Qxf7 27. Qxf7 White has no attack left, at least not yet, and Black is roughly equal in material. Black now has 27...Ne3 which mixes it up. Maybe White can win this but it will take some effort. Certainly the forced draw is a ...      Mar-25-09 V Malakhatko vs Timoshenko, 2003    Some call me Tim: <RandomVisitor> If 23.f3 Nh5 24.Na5 Qf6 25.Nxb7 Ng3+ 26.Kg1 Qh4 wins. If White plays the relatively better 24.Bf2 then 24...Qg6 seems to win in the variations I played out.      Mar-20-09 Alexander Alekhine     Mar-20-09 Tal vs E Nievergelt, 1959     Mar-19-09 Leko vs Aronian, 2009     Mar-18-09 E Walther vs Tal, 1966     Mar-17-09 E Walther vs Fischer, 1959     Mar-15-09 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1962     Mar-14-09 X Zhao vs Shen Yang, 2009     Mar-12-09 Dlugy vs Alburt, 1990     Mar-07-09 Karpov vs Taimanov, 1977     Mar-07-09 G Nagy vs Kmoch, 1925     Mar-07-09 Grischuk vs Anand, 2009     Mar-06-09 Morphy vs G Salmon, 1858     Mar-06-09 Tal vs Timman, 1972     Mar-04-09 Fischer vs R Shocron, 1959     Aug-02-08 Kamsky vs Ivanchuk, 2008     Jul-31-08 Robert James Fischer     Jul-31-08 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 1994     Jul-24-08 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972     Jul-23-08 Rada vs Kostal, 1942     Jul-22-08 David Bronstein     Jul-22-08 Mikhail Botvinnik     Jul-20-08 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925     Jul-19-08 Nigel Short     Jul-19-08 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Jul-19-08 Furman vs Geller, 1970     Jul-19-08 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1981     Jul-18-08 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971     Jul-16-08 W N Watson vs P Thipsay, 1985     Jul-16-08 Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999     Jul-13-08 A I Zakharov vs A I Petrushin, 1973     Jun-22-08 Fischer vs Keres, 1959     Jun-21-08 Spassky vs Lombardy, 1960     Jun-21-08 Tal - Botvinnik World Championship Rematch (1961)     Jun-21-08 Fischer vs C Munoz, 1960     Jun-21-08 Dragoljub Velimirovic     Jun-19-08 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972     Jun-17-08 A Kvicala vs NN, 1869     Jun-16-08 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Jun-15-08 Fischer vs Fine, 1963     Jun-15-08 Gelfand vs Adams, 2008     Jun-14-08 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972     Jun-09-08 Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1958     Jun-08-08 Browne vs Ljubojevic, 1978     Jun-06-08 Timman vs Korchnoi, 1991     Jun-01-08 Gheorghiu vs Fischer, 1966     May-31-08 Chernin vs Polgar, 1990     May-04-08 E Inarkiev vs Kazhgaleyev, 2008     May-02-08 V Pina vs D Duarte, 2001     Apr-21-08 R Pert vs C Ward, 2005     Apr-06-08 Vladimirov vs Van der Sterren, 1990     Dec-07-07 Fischer vs K Warner, 1955     Dec-07-07 Miles vs Timman, 1984     Nov-09-07 A Bannik vs Bronstein, 1958     Nov-04-07 Yudasin vs S Makarichev, 1983     Nov-03-07 Gipslis vs Bronstein, 1958     Oct-30-07 Kostic vs H Wolf, 1922     Oct-23-07 Von Popiel vs G Marco, 1902     Oct-10-07 G Isakov vs V A Nikitin, 1947     Oct-05-07 J Kostro vs W Schmidt, 1968     Sep-23-07 E Varnusz vs J Pogats, 1979     Sep-21-07 Lputian vs Balashov, 1986     Sep-15-07 P Winston vs Browne, 1972     Sep-11-07 N Gurieli vs N Lakos, 1999     Sep-08-07 Ghitescu vs Z Ljubisavljevic, 1988     Sep-08-07 Tal vs J H Donner, 1968     Sep-06-07 Kasparov vs Andersson, 1985     Sep-05-07 Tal vs F Olafsson, 1975     Sep-03-07 V Liberzon vs Taimanov, 1967     Sep-01-07 Karpov vs Miles, 1980     Sep-01-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)     Aug-30-07 S Polgar vs Jansa, 1991     Aug-23-07 Razuvaev vs L Gutman, 1977     Aug-22-07 S Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984     Aug-20-07 R Schwarz vs Labau, 1948     Aug-19-07 B Jonsson vs S Polgar, 1988     Aug-17-07 Keres vs Spassky, 1955     Aug-17-07 Keres vs Fischer, 1962     Aug-09-07 Degraeve vs J Boudre, 1987     Jul-28-07 R Nezhmetdinov vs Estrin, 1951    Jul-18-07 R Byrne vs Fischer, 1963     Jul-17-07 Fischer vs Fine, 1963     Jul-17-07 Fischer vs H Berliner, 1960     Jul-15-07 Fischer vs R Weinstein, 1960     Jul-14-07 Fischer vs Tal, 1959     Jul-10-07 Fischer vs W Hook, 1970
