Jun-11-11 Polugaevsky vs Ftacnik, 1982    azi: I think that white weakened his castled position without sufficient compensation, as black's castled position is not a mine field of weak squares. White pursued a pawn advancing attack on the kingside, without targets and sufficiently developed piece deployment. And black controls the ...      Dec-29-09 V Laznicka vs G Jones, 2007    azi: This is a strong and to the point win by Laznicka in a classic 9.b4 KID. White is able to take and hold the initiative for the whole game and transitions from opening to middle game and from middlegame to endgame in a timely and capitalizing way. By winning 2 pieces for a rook and ...      Dec-03-09 Kibitzer's Café    azi: Hi Just checking in. Any body else really like Laznicka's style?      Jul-04-09 Leko vs Kramnik, 2009    azi: past tense of draw is drew or drawn not drawed (had to, sorry)...Druids were tree lovers, maybe they were the first wood pushers?      Mar-31-09 Karpov vs Petrosian, 1982    azi: 2 small points I would add are: 1. creating a position/game with 'all tactics' accounted for is quite a task, imho (look at what wasn't played, Ma!) and 2. exchange of the pair of rooks at move 35...RxR, in general, favors the defense and what else to try anyway?      Feb-21-09 Topalov - Kamsky Candidates Final (2009)    azi: While Topalov has the demeanor of a seasoned professional Kamsky is still growing as a chess player. One also has the impression that he has greater potential in the long run. His first win against Topa heralds a change in the balance of power between these 2 great players. Each is a ...      Feb-18-09 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2009    azi: the emperor's taylor made a fine fitting garment, don't you think?      Jan-26-09 S K Bru vs Movsesian, 2001   azi: For me, the amazing part of the game occurs when, from a cluster of interconnected pieces, logically placed on the board, the ray of possiblity that a highly original pattern of moves, dawns (the combination)out of a rumbling sea of mental analysis. Such is the chess instinct that tells      Sep-16-08 Grand Slam Chess Final (2008)    azi: I see this game as an adventure in "recastling" or maybe called, The 0-0-0-0 Game!! White's 0-0-0, is redone on his 15th & 16th turns, to a more secure arrangement, with ka1 and rb1, albeit the second regal relocation is castled-by-hand. It also calls to my mind Nimzovich's advice to ...      Jul-30-08 A Dueckstein vs Petrosian, 1962    azi: I have a feeling that Petrosian was demonstrating that he had the draw in hand at move 30 and there was reason for white to offer a draw ,rather than black. Possibly a point of 'ego ordering' by El Tigre or a prediction for white. A great game and 18..a5 is a stellar move!      May-21-08 Short vs Kramnik, 1994     Dec-31-07 Botvinnik vs Vidmar, 1946     Sep-15-07 Vladimir Kramnik     Sep-13-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)     Sep-05-07 Andersson vs Kasparov, 1979     Aug-17-07 Korchnoi vs Gipslis, 1976     Aug-11-07 G Timmerman vs P Verschuren, 1976    Mar-04-07 T Pfeifer vs Polgar, 1988     Mar-04-07 Karpov vs Polgar, 2003     Sep-26-06 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2006     Sep-13-06 Karpov vs Leko, 1994    Mar-22-06 Carlsen vs D Rylander, 2003     Mar-22-06 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Mar-22-06 Geller vs Pilnik, 1956     Feb-25-06 Andersson vs Vaganian, 1989    Feb-25-06 A Zontakh vs Bu Xiangzhi, 1999    Feb-12-06 J T Barendregt vs Stein, 1969    Feb-12-06 Szabo vs Larsen, 1957     Jan-18-06 Mamedyarov vs I Cheparinov, 2005     Dec-23-05 J R Medley vs J Finch, 1849     Dec-04-05 Capablanca vs Fine, 1937     Dec-04-05 Fine vs Capablanca, 1936     Dec-04-05 Capablanca vs Manhattan CC, 1931     Dec-03-05 De la Paz Perdomo vs Vera Gonzalez-Quevedo, 2001    Aug-13-05 B Gasic vs S Tatai, 1972    Jul-13-05 Nakamura vs Zhu Chen, 2004     Jul-13-05 Kasparov vs Petrosian, 1981     Feb-26-05 Fischer vs Benko, 1963     Feb-20-05 Botvinnik vs Flohr, 1933     Feb-05-05 P S Leonhardt vs Capablanca, 1911     Feb-05-05 Marshall vs Capablanca, 1909     Feb-04-05 Aganalian vs Petrosian, 1945     Feb-02-05 Carlsen vs L Drabke, 2003     Feb-02-05 Carlsen vs Ward, 2003     Feb-01-05 Keres vs Petrosian, 1959     Jan-30-05 I Sokolov vs Anand, 2005     Jan-30-05 Leko vs Polgar, 2005     Jan-11-05 Janowski vs Marshall, 1912     Dec-30-04 A Timofeev vs Kasparov, 2004     Nov-04-04 Robert James Fischer     Oct-20-04 D Suajibi vs V Petkovski, 2002    Oct-14-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004     Oct-03-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004     Oct-02-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Sep-28-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Sep-25-04 Leko vs Kramnik, 2004     Sep-14-04 Evans vs Reshevsky, 1963     Sep-14-04 Huebner vs Petrosian, 1976     Jul-12-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-11-04 Adams vs Kasimdzhanov, 2004     Jul-10-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-08-04 Adams vs Kasimdzhanov, 2004     Jul-07-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Mar-12-04 Glucksberg vs Najdorf, 1929     Mar-04-04 Kasparov vs Topalov, 2004     Feb-22-04 Linares (2004)     Feb-22-04 Kramnik vs Leko, 2004     Jan-08-04 Judit Polgar     Oct-22-03 Fischer vs P Lapiken, 1956     Sep-14-03 Kramnik vs Shirov, 1994     Aug-12-03 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1935     Jul-26-03 Kasparov vs K Georgiev, 1988     Jul-03-03 E van den Doel vs Stellwagen, 2003     Jul-24-02 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1970     Jul-23-02 Lasker vs J Mieses, 1889     Jul-09-02 Khalifman vs A Petrosian, 1987    Jul-08-02 Bacrot vs Kramnik, 2002     Jun-24-02 Khalifman vs Tukmakov, 1986     Jun-19-02 Greco vs NN, 1623
