katar: Akobian presented this game in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf2...
 
   Jan-04-12 Tarrasch vs Alapin, 1902
 
katar: <zydeco> Sorry, I forgot to insert a couple moves: 13.axb4 Bxb4 14.O-O d4? 15.Nxd4 Qxd4?? 16.Bxh7+ Therefore I believe that 13.Ne2 was unnecessary and a big mistake. Unless I am mistaken 13.axb4 would have given White an advantage.
 
   Sep-22-11 Short vs J Piket, 1997 (replies)
 
katar: The first 10 moves of this game are recited in the French movie Joueuse ("Queen to Play").
 
   Jan-21-11 Tata Steel Group A (2011) (replies)
 
katar: <Creg> Re: Naka's coach/second: in the past year Naka has had a second who is only about 2100 or 2200 in strength but apparently knows Naka's style and preferences and is a computer hardware expert-- which is no coincidence since Naka's prep is heavily computer based.
 
   Jan-19-11 Nakamura vs Grischuk, 2011 (replies)
 
katar: 16.g4 is prophylaxis against ...Nh5. Suppose 16.0-0 Nh5 and Black exchanges half of White's devastating bishop pair and Black survived the worst. Also, 16.g4 is in accord with the classical maxim that White's preponderance and control in the center justifies a flank move g4. Very much

katar: "Richard Palliser" writes so many great chess books that i happen to think that "Richard Palliser" is the pseudonym of a writing team of at least 8-10 full-time chess authors.
 
   Jun-05-10 Larry Remlinger (replies)
 
katar: I've been looking at Keene & Jacobs book, An Opening Repertoire for White, Holt 1995. I noticed that the book recommends virtually all of Mr. Remlinger's favorite lines from the early 1990's, including the Deferred Samisch Nimzo, the Nge2-g3 KID, the Exchange QG with 0-0-0, the ...
 
   May-13-10 Miles vs J Horner, 1973
 
katar: This game deserves to be better known. One of the terrific fighting games of all time, in my opinion.
 
   Feb-24-10 B G Smith vs J Kraai, 2009
 
katar: WOW, what an exciting game!
