Aug-09-19 NN vs Paulsen, 1861    fkohn: Nice day. I think I'll take my king for a walk.      Jul-29-19 Zukertort vs Anderssen, 1865    fkohn: The online chess engine I use could not find a mate for White. It gives: 22 ... ♔d7 23. ♕xd5+ ♔c7 24. ♕c4+ ♔d7 25. ♕a4+ ♔c7 26. ♕xf4+ ♔b6 27. ♗xh8 ♖c8 with a 3.74 point advantage for White.      Jul-28-19 Mayet vs Zukertort, 1868    fkohn: So did Black miss an immediate mate on move 26 or is there something wrong with the score?      Jul-26-19 J Rosanes vs Anderssen, 1864   fkohn: Not quite the same game. J Rosanes vs Anderssen, 1863 has one more move than this game. Who knows which is correct? Not me!      Jul-17-19 Anderssen vs de Riviere, 1858    fkohn: <As Fine said, "The King is a strong piece, use it!"> True, but Fine also said that chess was about father murder, so, idk.      Jul-15-19 A Mongredien vs G W Medley, 1850   fkohn: Mate in four, actually, and a pretty one at that: 27. ♕e5+ ♔f8 28. ♗h6+ ♔g8 29. ♖c8+ ♗e8 30. ♕xe8# (or 30. ♖xe8#)      Jul-11-19 Kieseritzky vs Anderssen, 1851    fkohn: It looks to me that White played his last move to be put out of his misery. I see that kind of thing occasionally in these older games.      Jul-08-19 Smyslov vs F Kohn, 1976   fkohn: <What do you think made Smyslov blunder?> Well he had a very bad night. As I recall, he lost 15 games in addition to giving up a draw or two. Maybe he was just tired.      Jul-08-19 I Blek vs Tal, 1952    fkohn: <Doubtless I'm missing something, but where is the mate after 47. R:d4?> That's a damn good question. Maybe I was thinking of a different game?      Jul-08-19 Tal vs M Rivas Pastor, 1992    fkohn: The best Black can do is to trade down to a R+P v. R ending which is a textbook win for White. If you don't know the technique of building a bridge, you should look at this analysis (which I created with the aid of an online engine). The key move is 73. ♖e4 which sets up the ...      Jul-07-19 Tal vs Timman, 1988     May-26-19 Petursson vs E Brestian, 1994    May-24-19 Petursson vs M Bauer, 1991    May-24-19 C Vallin vs Petursson, 1991    May-22-19 A Saidy vs K Commons, 1974    May-17-19 Santasiere vs B Blumin, 1939    Feb-24-19 G Marco vs Winawer, 1897    Feb-24-19 G Marco vs Albin, 1895    Feb-17-19 E Schallopp vs J N Berger, 1880    Feb-13-19 Teichmann vs Janowski, 1905    Feb-12-19 Janowski vs Marshall, 1899    Feb-11-19 Janowski vs M Porges, 1896     Feb-11-19 Pillsbury vs H Guthrie, 1903     Feb-07-19 Pillsbury vs A Souweine, 1894    Feb-02-19 B van der Haak vs Steinitz, 1873    Feb-01-19 Steinitz vs Bird, 1870     Feb-01-19 Steinitz vs de Riviere, 1867    Feb-01-19 Steinitz vs W Bolt, 1865     Dec-31-18 A Fritz vs J Mason, 1883     Dec-31-18 Englisch vs J Mason, 1883    Dec-31-18 J Mason vs Bird, 1883    Dec-30-18 perfidious chessforum     Dec-30-18 N Gaprindashvili vs I Ostry, 1992    Dec-30-18 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1850     Dec-29-18 J Mason vs Dr. S, 1882    Dec-29-18 J Mason vs Bird, 1876    Dec-29-18 A Reggio vs E Post, 1906    Dec-28-18 S Troya vs A Reggio, 1901     Dec-27-18 M Muzychuk vs N Gaprindashvili, 2012     Dec-26-18 S Vuksanovic vs N Gaprindashvili, 1996    Dec-25-18 Lutikov vs N Gaprindashvili, 1977    Dec-24-18 N Gaprindashvili vs Z Mikadze, 1968    Dec-24-18 N Gaprindashvili vs Weissenfels, 1966    Dec-22-18 I Larsen vs M Terada, 1976    Dec-21-18 L Lane vs C Chaude de Silans, 1961    Dec-20-18 Grob vs A Sacconi, 1926    Dec-19-18 Yates vs Grob, 1926     Dec-18-18 Yates vs H E Atkins, 1922    Dec-18-18 Yates vs A Speijer, 1913     Dec-16-18 Spielmann vs A Siderius, 1930     Dec-16-18 Spielmann vs A van Nuess, 1928    Dec-15-18 Spielmann vs Gruenfeld, 1922     Dec-15-18 Rubinstein vs Spielmann, 1921     Dec-14-18 Teichmann vs Spielmann, 1909     Dec-13-18 E G Sergeant vs G A Thomas, 1935    Dec-13-18 Capablanca vs G A Thomas, 1929     Dec-13-18 G A Thomas vs P D Bolland, 1924    Dec-12-18 J Mieses vs J Balogh, 1918     Dec-09-18 Menchik vs T Drezga, 1934     Dec-05-18 Euwe vs H van Hartingsvelt, 1920    Nov-14-18 H Eberl vs D Grzymek, 2005    Nov-08-18 Tarrasch vs Romberg, 1893
