May-01-19 Fischer vs Taimanov, 1971    WDenayer: I don't understand Taimanov's play. Why the plan with 29 ... Nb8 and Nc6 after Fischer played c3 already? Then Ne6, then back to c6. Black is of course already substantially worse. Perhaps a better plan would have been Nd8 in combination with f6. Then the pawns are on black ...      Apr-16-19 Capablanca vs Janowski, 1913    WDenayer: The position after 27.b6 is given as a puzzle in a book by Bent Larsen (Du maste ha en plan, 1975 - You need to have a plan). Larsen gives 28.b4 a '!'. I do not see why. Black has absolutely no time to engineer anything on the Q-side. It will take 4 moves, just to exchange some ...      Mar-19-19 R Baron vs C Debray, 2009    WDenayer: <ChessHigherCat> Thank you. I don't know anything about this variation, but in my opinion, White had to keep the c-file closed at all cost, so perhaps 14.Qb3 was wrong - why not just Ne5, for example?      Mar-06-19 Botvinnik vs Geller, 1969    WDenayer: I really don't remember - was it Krogius who was cursing in Moscow after Spassky lost the QGD Tartakower game to Fischer in '72, joining the applause after resigning? Krogius (I think) opined that Geller would have been better opposition than Spassky. Geller himself was furious ...      Mar-05-19 Anand vs Kamsky, 2018   WDenayer: Amazing game. The Owen can be quite poisonous. Perhaps the most uncommon opening that still makes some sense is 1. ... Na6. As far as I know, there is no theory. There are some databases on the net. Someone tried to explain to me that it is not all bad. After 1.e4, White can take ...      Feb-22-19 Tal vs Bronstein, 1959    WDenayer: <Hinchliffe> Why don't you go to the Wasa chessclub in Stockholm? Close to Odenplan.      Feb-20-19 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1978    WDenayer: What Perfidious says above is true, but the question remains why the Pirc? Timman and Max Pam (illustrator) published a really excellent book on this WC (in Dutch). It was 5-5 now. Korchnoi had won the last game in a fantastic endgame. Now he had Black. Timman quotes Keene saying ...      Feb-11-19 Caro-Kann (B10)   WDenayer: And FrogC posted this link re. the 'apocalypse variation' (1.e4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.Ne5!). Look how difficult this is. Black also even has to reckon with 2.b3 these days. It's far from harmless, you need to know how to play this. Don't you think that studying the Spanish is ...      Feb-08-19 Vladimir Kramnik    WDenayer: I am skeptical of the 'greatest ever' based on whatever claim, it's all opinion and talk, there is no methodology, that's all. But to the Kramnik bashers, it's of course true, when Keen would call them to play for the world title, they would of course say no, that makes complete ...      Feb-06-19 D Mastrovasilis vs S Conquest, 2006   WDenayer: Until there's something I'm missing, this is really an example of trying to be too smart. 12. cxd4 and O-O and White doesn't have a problem in the world.      Jan-28-19 S Khademalsharieh vs A Donchenko, 2019    Jan-26-19 Carlsen vs Duda, 2019     Jan-21-19 Anand vs Mamedyarov, 2019     Jan-18-19 J van Foreest vs Carlsen, 2019     Jan-10-19 Bologan vs M Hansen, 2011     Dec-27-18 Gulko vs Timman, 1987     Dec-20-18 Miles vs L Schmid, 1980     Dec-06-18 So vs Carlsen, 2017     Dec-02-18 Petrosian vs Smyslov, 1961     Nov-28-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-28-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Nov-28-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-26-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Nov-24-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-22-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Nov-21-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-19-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Nov-18-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-16-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-13-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Nov-12-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Nov-09-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Oct-04-18 M Basman vs T K Hemingway, 1989    Sep-17-18 Nimzowitsch vs Schlechter, 1905    Aug-23-18 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1921     Aug-12-18 R Nezhmetdinov vs V Mikenas, 1948     Mar-18-18 Aronian vs Caruana, 2018     Feb-26-18 K Zakoscielna vs K Bulski, 2008     Feb-22-18 D Wagner vs P Nikolic, 2017     Feb-17-18 J van Foreest vs A Liang, 2017     Feb-14-18 Larsen vs Benjamin, 1987     Sep-23-16 Jakovenko vs Gelfand, 2015     May-31-16 B Hammar vs E Jonsson, 2014     May-16-16 H E Myers vs T Alvarez, 1966     Apr-12-16 Topalov vs Anand, 2010     Mar-17-16 R Leitao vs F de Cresce El Debs, 2010     Feb-09-16 Alekhine vs Tartakower, 1933     Feb-08-16 Nijboer vs L Kritz, 2003    Feb-04-16 J Gallagher vs A Compton, 2014     Jan-26-16 S Ernst vs A Belezky, 2014     Jan-24-16 Navara vs Caruana, 2016     Jan-23-16 Carlsen vs Tomashevsky, 2016     Jan-22-16 Van Wely vs Carlsen, 2016     Jan-20-16 Caruana vs Ponomariov, 2014     Jan-11-16 Mac Hack VI vs Fischer, 1977     Jan-07-16 Topalov vs Shirov, 1998     Jan-07-16 Geller vs Karpov, 1976     Dec-14-15 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984     Dec-05-15 Kramnik vs Morozevich, 2014     Nov-30-15 C Storey vs J Jarmany, 2014     Nov-28-15 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959     Nov-22-15 Mamedyarov vs Gelfand, 2014     Nov-20-15 Szen vs H H Boncourt, 1836     Apr-19-15 Carlsen vs Mamedyarov, 2015     Apr-18-15 M Wilder vs A Lein, 1981     Apr-15-15 H Mattison vs Rubinstein, 1929     Apr-12-15 So vs V Akobian, 2015     Apr-10-15 J H Donner vs Velimirovic, 1971     Apr-05-15 Tal vs Gligoric, 1968     Mar-18-15 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Mar-18-15 Fischer vs J L Garcia Bachiller, 1970     Mar-15-15 G MacDonnell vs Bird, 1872     Mar-14-15 Karpov vs Anand, 1998     Mar-09-15 Taimanov vs Matulovic, 1970     Feb-07-15 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1985     Jan-26-15 N Barsalou vs B Wall, 1980     Jan-21-15 Anand vs Kasparov, 1995     Jan-19-15 Gligoric vs Fischer, 1959     Jan-17-15 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1975     Jan-17-15 Bondarevsky vs Bronstein, 1945     Jan-16-15 S Polgar vs Polgar, 1992     Dec-30-14 Hartston vs S Mariotti, 1972     Nov-01-14 M Cebalo vs Vasiukov, 2014     Oct-15-14 Short vs Nunn, 1980     Oct-05-14 Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1974     Sep-27-14 Tal vs Fischer, 1959     Sep-27-14 Timman vs Piket, 1995     Sep-18-14 R Rabiega vs G Schebler, 2004     Sep-05-14 Svidler vs Shirov, 2003     Sep-01-14 M Willich vs P Ehemann, 2004     Aug-31-14 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2014     Aug-16-14 Shirov vs D Reinderman, 1999     Aug-04-14 G Mazzoni vs G Villarroel, 1964     Aug-01-14 Karpov vs E Torre, 1976     Jul-29-14 T Wedberg vs J Ljungdahl, 1974     Jul-28-14 Euwe vs Colle, 1924     Jul-10-14 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937     Jun-29-14 Rubinstein vs Schlechter, 1918     Jun-22-14 Van Wely vs Nunn, 1992     Jun-07-14 L Binet Tapaszto vs G Kluger, 1954     May-26-14 Fischer vs Geller, 1967     May-24-14 E Torre vs Karpov, 1984     May-15-14 Colle vs Capablanca, 1929     Apr-29-14 D Mason vs L Ball, 2013
