May-04-22 Saemisch vs Spielmann, 1922    Ziryab: The position after 38.Rxg4 appears in Reuben Fine, Basic Chess Endings without a diagram. Is there anything to learn from such a position?      Apr-28-22 Hebden vs D A Wood, 1994   Ziryab: 47…g6 also draws, although it presents more challenges for Black than after 47…Kg6.      Apr-27-22 Capablanca vs Yates, 1930   Ziryab: Dvoretsky mentions analysis by Kopaev. Where can I find this analysis?      Mar-31-22 Domenico   Ziryab: Giovanni Domenico may have preceded Alessandro Salvio with the classic bishop sacrifice on h7. A game fragment with Bxh7+ is credited to him in the Doazan MS (a manuscript that has been lost, but which was copied in part by von der Lasa and others in the nineteenth century).      Mar-29-22 Alessandro Salvio   Ziryab: Greco’s famous sacrifice first appears not in Greco’s writings, but in Salvio’s 1604 book.      Feb-26-22 Tal vs Timman, 1988   Ziryab: What is wrong with 17…Rc8 instead of 17…a5?      Feb-18-22 Stoltz vs Kashdan, 1928   Ziryab: The position after 28.axb3 appears in Ludek Pachman, Modern Chess Strategy (25) as an example of the superiority of the bishop. [DIAGRAM] Playing this with Stockfish, I'm not convinced that Black's advantage is clearly winning.      Feb-01-22 Flohr vs Petrosian, 1950   Ziryab: When you see a two digit number after a title, do you assume it is a typo? See <Chicago Manual of Style>.      Feb-01-22 Tarrasch vs Teichmann, 1912    Ziryab: Pachman, trans. Russell (17); Stean (79-81). In the other thread, I gave the page number and you complained anyway.      Jan-24-22 Raymond Keene    Ziryab: Some folks on Facebook provoked my interest in Keene’s “Becoming a Grandmaster” (1977), which had been gathering dust on my bookshelves. I read all the prose and am now going through the games. It is a tremendously entertaining book.      Oct-26-21 Polerio vs NN, 1581    Oct-24-21 Giulio Cesare Polerio    Oct-24-21 Polerio vs Busnardo, 1590    Oct-22-21 Greco vs NN, 1624    Oct-22-21 Jean Defuse chessforum     Oct-19-21 Krasenkow vs J L Hammer, 2016    Oct-18-21 Greco vs NN, 1620     Oct-18-21 Greco vs NN, 1620    Oct-07-21 Chigorin vs Tarrasch, 1905    Sep-16-21 D Yuffa vs R R Laxman, 2019    Sep-16-21 Ponomariov vs Bareev, 2005     Sep-04-21 Prins vs Euwe, 1946    May-25-21 Capablanca vs R Raubitschek, 1906     Apr-28-21 Capablanca vs Rubinstein, 1928    Apr-03-21 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1921    Apr-01-21 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1921     Mar-24-21 J Moeller vs NN, 1898    Mar-11-21 Mayet vs Anderssen, 1851    Mar-05-21 San Sebastian (1911)     Feb-14-21 Capablanca vs Lasker, 1921     Feb-14-21 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1921    Jan-05-21 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1986    Dec-15-20 Rubinstein vs E Heilmann, 1905    Aug-28-20 Saint-Amant vs Staunton, 1843    Aug-23-20 Botvinnik vs M Muchin, 1926     Aug-22-20 Botvinnik vs M Szebarszin, 1926     Jul-20-20 Gunsberg vs Chigorin, 1890    Jul-16-20 Tarrasch vs Mendelson, 1879    Jul-01-20 Polerio vs Lorenzo, 1580     Jul-01-20 Biographer Bistro     Jun-25-20 B Winkelman vs G N Treysman, 1936     Jun-24-20 NN vs Greco, 1620     Jun-24-20 C Bloodgood vs K Amirjahed, 1959    Jun-22-20 Greco vs NN, 1623    Jun-22-20 NN vs Greco, 1620    Jun-19-20 Greco vs NN, 1620     Jun-18-20 Greco vs NN, 1620    Jun-18-20 Edward Winter     Jun-17-20 Gligoric vs R Hartoch, 1971     Jun-14-20 T Shumiakina vs M Litynska, 1997    Jun-12-20 Gioachino Greco     Jun-12-20 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2020     Jun-11-20 Greco vs NN, 1620    Jun-11-20 Greco vs NN, 1620    Jun-10-20 Greco vs NN, 1620    Jun-09-20 NN vs Greco, 1620     Jul-05-19 H Gifford vs T C ter Haar, 1873    Jun-30-19 Korchnoi vs D Keller, 1984    Jun-30-19 Steinitz vs A Sellman, 1885    Jun-28-19 Steinitz vs A C Vazquez, 1888    Jun-27-19 Dreev vs S Arkhipov, 1992    Mar-30-19 Eliskases vs Gruenfeld, 1933     Mar-21-19 Greco vs NN, 1620     Feb-24-19 Morphy vs C Golmayo, 1864     Dec-30-18 McShane vs D Flores, 2018    Dec-25-18 Breyer vs Z von Balla, 1912     Aug-21-18 H Silbermann vs Honich, 1930     Feb-09-17 A Sarana vs K Georgiev, 2015    Feb-08-17 Seirawan vs Timman, 1990     Jan-26-17 Wemmers vs Paulsen, 1880    Jun-28-16 Janosevic vs I Bilek, 1966     Jan-27-16 Fischer vs F Olafsson, 1966     Jan-15-16 Konstantinopolsky vs Frank, 1935     Nov-17-15 J Arnason vs Petrosian, 1983    Oct-31-15 Chigorin vs Tarrasch, 1896     Apr-10-15 H Delaire vs NN, 1901    Apr-05-15 Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862     Apr-01-15 Anderssen vs Steinitz, 1862     Mar-18-15 V Gashimov vs Dominguez Perez, 2010    Feb-27-15 A M Botsari vs Polgar, 2011    Jan-08-15 Szen vs Anderssen, 1851    Jan-06-15 J Thompson vs Morphy, 1857     Dec-30-14 Adams vs Dreev, 1996    Dec-29-14 Anderssen vs Staunton, 1851     Dec-17-14 Anderssen vs Staunton, 1851     Nov-13-14 I Sokolov vs Bologan, 2002     Nov-11-14 Aronian vs Adams, 2013    Jun-11-14 Anderssen vs Von der Lasa, 1851    Apr-08-14 Ragozin vs N Krylenko, 1926     Mar-16-14 J Cazenove vs NN, 1819    Feb-19-14 Anderssen vs G Neumann, 1866     Feb-12-14 Teichmann vs Pillsbury, 1895     Feb-12-14 Maroczy vs Charousek, 1895    Dec-20-13 Tarrasch vs Schlechter, 1902    Aug-19-13 B Socko vs Lautier, 2001     Aug-08-13 D Sprenkle vs O Chernin, 1977    Aug-08-13 F Rhine vs D Sprenkle, 1981     Aug-02-13 Pillsbury vs Showalter, 1897     Aug-02-13 F Peralta vs D Flores, 2009    Aug-01-13 J Esser vs R J Loman, 1903    Jul-28-13 Yifan Hou vs Hiba Omrani, 2004     Mar-22-12 Greco vs NN, 1620     Mar-16-12 Gypsy chessforum     Oct-08-07 H Wolf vs Tarrasch, 1923     Oct-08-07 A Fritz vs J Minckwitz, 1880
