green ink has kibitzed 25 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-29-25 Alekhine vs A Aviles, 1932    green ink: The prettiest ending would have been 42. - Ra8 43. Ra7+ Rxa7 44. Nb8#      Jan-25-25 G Trikaliotis vs I Miladinovic, 1996   green ink: White could have tried to regain the piece by 30. Rb5, but then a funny thing could have happened: 30. - Rd1! 31. Qe5 (Qc3? Qxc4) Qe3!! 32. Qxe3 fxe3 33. fxe3 Rxe1+ 34. Kf2 Rf1+ 35. Kxg3 Nc5 winning.      Jan-09-25 Goldin vs A Stripunsky, 2004    green ink: After 40. Nxg7 Bb7+ 41. Ne4 Rxf1 42. Nxh5 Rf2+ 43. Kh3!! (or 43. Qxf2 Bxe4+ with a likely draw) Rxe2 there is a surprise checkmate: 44. Rd8+ Kh7 45. Ng5+ Kh6 46. Nf7+ Kxh5 47. Rh8+ Nh6 48. Rxh6 mate.      Oct-29-24 N Murshed vs Psakhis, 1988    green ink: Well... First, Black instead of playing the obvious 17. - Qxd4 -+ (18. Rh3 h6 19. Bxh6 Rxd3 or 19. Ng6 Bc5) finds 17. - Qe8?? losing the exchange. Then White proceeds to entangle his first rook deep in the Black forest (23. Rd7?), unwisely exchanges away the other (25 Re1?) and is      Aug-04-24 B Thipsay vs G Oney, 1990   green ink: Hoist by her own petard...      Apr-29-24 A Rotstein vs Plachetka, 1997   green ink: Oops. After 28. - Ke8 the game is equal; after 28. - Ke6?? 29. Rh6+ black is lost.      Apr-18-24 O Tenner vs R Black, 1923    green ink: @AnotherNN: 33. - Ra2?? loses to 34. QxQ+ RxQ 35. Be4      Mar-28-24 K Balajayeva vs H Bharathakoti, 2023   green ink: A triple punch floors black: 10. Qd5! 11. Bxh6! 12. Ne5! and the expected defence 12 - Be6 fails to 13. Nxc6 bxc6 14. Nd6+ winning black's Q      Mar-02-24 Sarah Peglau vs G Thorsteinsdottir, 2022   green ink: Black's petite combinaison beginning with 15. Nxb4 looks tempting, but instead of 18. Kf1?, white could have given black an unpleasant surprise with 18. Qxd3!! Qxd3 19. Ne5! +-      Oct-06-22 M Narciso Dublan vs P Cramling, 1991    green ink: Both players must have been in serious time trouble by move 25. That's the only explanation for what followed that I can think of.
