Jun-09-25 F Rhine vs H Hunger, 2024    coachjay: Beautiful game, Frederick! Congrats on the impending title! Well-deserved. I always enjoy your games.      Jun-23-23 E Dizdarevic vs Miles, 1985    coachjay: I use this position to reinforce the idea of pattern recognition at the end of my lesson on 1.The Greek Gift, 2.Lasker's Double-Bishop Sac, and 3.Alekhine's Block in my Green Belt Lesson Book (aimed at scholastic players, but chess is chess!). While I don't expect them to find the ...      Dec-30-21 D Gukesh vs M Rafiee, 2019    coachjay: Definitely incorrect notation as currently posted. 23.Nf6+ must have been played instead of Nxh6, as Black saves the queen with 23. ... Nxh6 24.Bxh6, then ignore the bishop. (or even 23. ... Kh8).      Dec-10-14 D Freeman vs M Legein, 2011    coachjay: A fun game by the man of the hour! Congrats on 13 years of fun for all of us Daniel!      Dec-24-13 Santa Claus    coachjay: Dear Santa, I already have a premium membership (best investment of the year - especially for a chess coach), and I wanted to tell you that my entire family has enjoyed the Present Hunt this year. Very creative. Thanks for all your hard work on that! Merry Christmas - Coach Jay ...      Jun-30-11 I Efimov vs Shirov, 1991    coachjay: Abuzic - Thanks for those references! Great variations to know. Great games to review.      Jun-28-11 G Vescovi vs Karpov, 2004    coachjay: What a coincidence. Larry Christiansen was player of the day yesterday, and he had a VERY quick game against a World Champion who blundered badly. You guessed it - Karpov!      Apr-06-11 Pachman vs C Guimard, 1955    coachjay: Couldn't tell who was winning for much of the game. Many games in one. Nice!      Feb-16-11 Tal vs D Keller, 1959    coachjay: At several junctures in this game, Tal puts his attack on hold for a move to play defense of solidify. Then at other points he moves pieces to squares that your brain tells you are off-limits. Amazing!      Jan-12-11 Ponomariov vs H Wang, 2007    coachjay: Kellmano - Thanks!
