May-27-08 Geller vs P Ostojic, 1969
| |
| UdayanOwen: Ah, another grand example to demonstrate that even super GM's can be disastrously fallible. Geller was considered one of the world's most brilliant tacticians.... And he allowed this!!! There is hope for us all!!! |

May-14-08 I Gudju vs Bogdanovsky, 1926
| |
| UdayanOwen: <SpoiltVictorianChild: I really don't get 7.Nc3 After 7...dxc3, what does white have? Bxd5, f5 and I think black is getting annoying> When playing quickly through the game, I thought about this briefly too, and wasn't so sure how white was going to be OK. When you posed the |

Apr-14-08 A Dake vs A De Burca, 1935
| |

Mar-27-08 Shumov vs Kolisch, 1862
| |
| UdayanOwen: I'd just like to add a thought to the discussion about why everyone's missing 24...Rd2. I don't know that it is just the transition from vertical to horizontal. After all, we worked out 23...Qe2 attacking on the rank. And I'll bet that if the white d-rook was instead on a1, just ... |

Mar-21-08 G Sigurjonsson vs L Ogaard, 1978
| |
| UdayanOwen: Thankyou to the numerous people here who have reminded me about freedom of speech, and the value of long posts. Why should I bend to <aazqua's> selfish demands? The practices on this site certainly should not hinge on <aazqua's> personal needs only. The final ... |
