gilbav has kibitzed 56 times to chessgames   [more...]

Apr-21-23 R Byrne vs P Bachmann, 1952    gilbav: <halito27> You're right, of course. Is it possible that the score is incorrect, and White actually played 41.Rh6 ?      Aug-28-18 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2018    gilbav: <Diademas> No, Carlsen said he didn't know that game.      Sep-26-17 Ivo Lucio Fischer   gilbav: Cocteau Twins - Ivo (1984) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDy...      Aug-21-13 Kasparov vs Huebner, 1986    gilbav: I suppose he meant that after 26....Rf8 Black threatens Qxf2+ or Nxg4.      Oct-13-12 YouRang chessforum    gilbav: Round 10: Vallejo - Caruana 1/2 Aronian - Carlsen 1/2 Anand - Karjakin 1/2      Oct-03-12 Mamedyarov vs Leko, 2012    gilbav: The switch? can't be done.      Sep-26-12 F Vallejo Pons vs Carlsen, 2012    gilbav: <Eyal> 34...Kf6 may be a mistake in that variation. 34...Kd5 35.Nxd8 h4 is probably a better winning try for Black. So then is the pretty 33.Rd8 actually the best move? An interesting alternative for White is 33.Rd5+ Ke6 34.Rxg5 Kf6 35.Rxb5 axb4 36.a4!      Sep-10-12 Ding Liren vs Onischuk, 2012    gilbav: And I think the variation mentioned by <beckerqueiroz> makes a lot of sense. And while it is true that 55...fxg5 56.Rd6+ Kf5 57.Rd5+ Kg6 58.hxg5 h4 59.f4 h3 leads to a draw (as Monokroussos said), I know it's a draw only because the engine tells me so, not because everything is      Jul-19-12 Adams vs Carlsen, 2010    gilbav: I suggested the pun (and was really impressed with myself, I tell you).      Jul-13-12 G Wall vs R Granat, 2006    gilbav: I love this pun.
