catlover Member since Nov-10-04 · Last seen Oct-19-21 I'm a North American, but live in Guatemala. In terms of chess, I'm an amateur of mediocre ability. I have loved chess since I was in grade school, but only played in one tournament, which was when I was a kid. And yes, I do love cats.

Oct-18-21 O Privorotsky vs A Bukhover, 1960    catlover: I love black's king walk right into the enemy camp, ending the perpetual check.      Oct-11-21 Nunn vs Bronstein, 1975    catlover: I always enjoy Bronstein's games.      Oct-09-21 Nakamura vs Duda, 2021   catlover: If 34...Qxc1, 35 Rc4 and black will lose material.      Sep-20-21 Stahlberg vs Petrov, 1938    catlover: Okay, so if 28. Rxe2 g4+ 29. Kf4 Rxe2. It would make a nice Monday puzzle. I don't know if this line is typical of the Spielmann variation, but white came out of the opening with a cramped position. I wonder where Stahlberg went wrong.      Sep-13-21 A Sandrin vs W Shipman, 1946    catlover: <Phony Benoni>, it took me a minute or two. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I remember it, the Monday puzzles generally used to be sacrifices, usually involving the queen. Now the Monday puzzles tend to be a bit more subtle and less easy.      Sep-10-21 W Schmidt vs J Lewi, 1968    catlover: Too difficult for me. Maybe I'll remember the solution to this puzzle next time around.      Sep-05-21 A van Foreest vs Euwe, 1926    catlover: What a beautiful back-rank mate ending. Nice job on the pun, as well.      Aug-25-21 M Karthikeyan vs M Matlakov, 2019    catlover: It is a line from "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."      Aug-23-21 P Kranzl vs Blatny, 1991    catlover: Well done by Blatny. Krazny tried to run a Ponziani scheme but it backfired.      Aug-06-21 T Bush vs A Carter, 1976    catlover: This was a fun GOTD. I enjoyed the game, but I enjoyed everyone's humorous posts even more.
