Jan-06-09 Plaskett vs J Emms, 1986    bakuazer: took me at least 3 minutes, though most of it I spent on trying to remember what day of week is to guess the difficulty level. It is a somewhat unsual mate though.      Oct-04-08 J Bellon Lopez vs Smejkal, 1970    bakuazer: got it, very easy. the whole week has been very easy, although there were some very nice puzzles. looking forward to 7/7 tomorrow:)      Sep-25-08 Karpov vs Topalov, 1994    bakuazer: <whitehat1963:I'm probably not the first to make this comment, but isn't it an interesting coincidence that both Kasparov and Karpov have games against Topalov that are considered their "immortal" games?> It is incredible that even though I have known this game and Kasparov's      Sep-25-08 Ivkov vs R Garcia, 1964    bakuazer: got it. easy, of course; but nice; yesterday's puzzle was nice too. 4/4 so far, looking forward for 7/7 :)      Sep-21-08 Ivanchuk vs Topalov, 1996    bakuazer: although did notice e5 in the very first second or so, but could not get anywhere with it. spent some time on Ne7+ but did see that it does not work. difficult and nice one. great game by ivanchuk.      Sep-20-08 A David vs G Kallai, 1996    bakuazer: i got it(first 6 moves) and saw to what it leads. The first move is the only one. Then it takes some time to analyze, 20....Qxc3 is important. I also thought on ..Bxa3 and I found Ka2 against it, I believe this refutes Bxa3.      Sep-07-08 Grand Slam Chess Final (2008)    bakuazer: <Well, after the rules were introduced we've seen tens of GMs losing those "clearly drawn" positions ;). Theoretical draws are often just that - theoretical.> I am not talking about "theoretical draws", but about positions in which a 1700 player can hold easily. Some ...      Jun-27-08 J Pelaez vs A de Dovitiis, 1993    bakuazer: very easy, i am surprised. I saw the first move in about 30-40 seconds. and by that time i already knew what follows the first move. easy for friday.      Jun-25-08 Euwe vs G Thomas, 1946    bakuazer: easy but nice puzzle      Jun-23-08 Keres vs R G Wade, 1954    bakuazer: <jovack: this would have been a monday puzzle even a few moves before this point> yes, but the problem is you wouldn't know if castling is legal or not. and that is an important move. nice monday puzzle.
