Steven87 has kibitzed 58 times to chessgames   [more...]

Dec-08-17 AlphaZero vs Stockfish, 2017    Steven87: You don't realize how it looks to watch a human play until you aren't.      Dec-01-17 O Bernstein vs Kotov, 1946    Steven87: First Friday I've gotten.      Apr-02-17 A Sokolov vs Salov, 1983    Steven87: <At move 29 white could go for mate instead of winning the queen. 29 Qf4 attacking d6 and Rh6> 29.. Nd3 and the White queen is lost      Apr-01-17 J Kuan vs A S Ibraimo, 2010    Steven87: Very one-sided      Jan-21-17 A Backlund vs J van Foreest, 2016    Steven87: <steinitzfan: Did he think it would give him counterplay?> My guess: After move 38, Black has a lot of pressure on the f pawn in front of the white king, and it threatening to increase it by <39. ..g4>.

This is why Botvinnik was Botvinnik, and I am studying.      Jun-02-16 Yiyi Xiao vs Ying Zhu, 2015    Steven87: 41. Rc7 Doesn't that win the bishop on b5? Or am I just missing something this late at night?      Nov-08-14 Anand vs Carlsen, 2014    Steven87: <kellmano>: Rocky's strategy against Lang is based off a real boxing title fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. Ali's "rope-a-dope" tactic tired out the champion and gained the underdog back the title.      Oct-16-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014)    Steven87: Looking forward to this      Aug-09-14 Anand vs Timman, 2004    Steven87: I got the basic ideas. Got lazy and stopped short of working out an exact line involving both Rxh7 and Nxg6. Maybe if I'd had my coffee first
