Zugzwangovich has kibitzed 427 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-20-21 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1985   Zugzwangovich: I guess what <offramp> meant is that in Silman's book 'How to Reassess Your Chess' he used this game as an example of trading pieces to reduce the opponent's attacking chances.      Oct-15-21 B Zuckerman vs A Rankis, 1961   Zugzwangovich: Thanks for the clarification, Granny. Sorry for the contradictory comments; I had the position set up wrong when I said it looked lost for Black.      Sep-01-21 Carlsen vs So, 2021    Zugzwangovich: Why is it that whenever I search for a game in which "So" is one of the opponents I get a message saying, "Sorry, no games at this time"? The same message appears whether I type "So", "so", "W So", "W so", "w So", or "w so". What am I doing wrong?      Aug-26-21 Kasparov vs Leko, 1994   Zugzwangovich: <fisayo123> Sorry for being nitpicky, but Leko was actually five days away from turning 15 on the day this game was played. BTW, how does Gazza become "the GOAT"?      Aug-08-21 Shamkovich vs Gheorghiu, 1975   Zugzwangovich: I would like to see 8.Rb1 named the Shamkovich Variation, since both this DB and 365Chess give this game as the first time it was ever played, years before the second time.      Aug-08-21 Rohde vs I Gurevich, 1992    Zugzwangovich: It's not every day you see a game featuring four (!) exchange sacrifices.      Jul-31-21 Movsesian vs Fedorov, 1999    Zugzwangovich: Quite a pyrotechnic display!      Jul-22-21 Fedorov vs Timman, 1999    Zugzwangovich: <perfidious> As a long-time KG fan I knew he was an advocate of the opening, but was still surprised he'd try it against a GM as strong as Timman in such an important event when all he needed was a draw to advance and a loss could have been disastrous. By the bye, how ...      Jul-13-21 Khalifman vs Kamsky, 1999   Zugzwangovich: <Spassky69> He was at 2628. Kamsky was at 2720.      Jul-09-21 V Akopian vs R Antonio, 1999   Zugzwangovich: <risolcruz> <kudubux> This was not blitz but the second of their G/25 tiebreak games after a draw in the first. If GM Joey had drawn here they would have gone on to a pair of G/15 games and only after that blitz if necessary.
