ckr has kibitzed 587 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-07-19 Paul Morphy    ckr: Thanks <Zanzibar> It was nothing that should take extensive review. I just noticed something very curious in regard to the results table that you obtained from J Lowenthal's tournament book but I am looking forward to your comments on it. At you convenience.      Nov-17-18 Kibitzer's Café    ckr: <Luke Warm: Maybe just win the game with material advantage following the continuation of 1. RxNe3.> I would also and especially true if white is in a time crunch since a win is a win but we are trying to make fine wine here.      Nov-15-18 Carlsen - Caruana World Championship Match (2018)    ckr: <diagon> I am also disappointing with this format. It is like a tie in the Indianapolis 500 will be settled by a box car derby. No offense meant to blitz/rapid chess players but I do find the format lacking.      Aug-14-06 Miles vs S Rachels, 1989    ckr: Yep, beats losing.      May-25-06 Calli chessforum    ckr: <Calli> Devinck http://www.endgame.nl/bad1870.htm      May-24-06 Smyslov vs Flohr, 1949    ckr: <Demostenes: I was thinking about 52.Rf8+ and it also wins: 52.Rf8+ Kxf8 53.Kf6 with mate to follow> I thought the same but 53...Bxc6 will allow black to block the check of 54.Rb8+ with Be8      May-14-06 E Brestian vs H Eisterer, 1990   ckr: It's difficult to say whether Eisterer was expecting 47.♕xd2 exchanging ♘ for ♗ or if he expected 47.♖xe7 thinking 49.♖xb7 and a simplifed end game. I think he must have at least considered 47.♖xe7 so cudo's for Brestian for providing a very nice ...      May-14-06 Benko vs M Vukcevich, 1969    ckr: Just another one that got sucked into the Re8+ line.      May-13-06 Booth vs S Fazekas, 1940    ckr: [Event "?"] [Site "London ENG"] [Date "1940.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Booth"] [Black "Fazekas"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "C18c"] 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Qc7 7. Nf3 Nc6 8.Bd3 cxd4 9.cxd4 Nxd4 10.Nxd4 Qc3+ 11.Qd2 ( 11.Bd2 Qxd4 12.O-O Qxe5 ...      May-04-06 Unzicker vs K Skold, 1950    ckr: Won the knight and Got as far as 20.RfE1 to make sure I kept the piece. From there I thought black had a few options but white had gained the upper hand being a piece up. Took a while to see it, I spent a bit of time on 18.Qe4 and after I saw how easily black connected his rooks the Qd8
