Nov-27-17 Nyback vs Carlsen, 2008    krippp: I played the ending, found this pretty problem-like mate, white to play and mate: [DIAGRAM] The correct answer is... ...<58.Qd7!> and mates in 5. Taking the Bishop with <58.Qxh6+> is only mate in 10, the black King escaping via e7 and d6, the Pawns having to be gobbled,      Nov-27-17 NN vs Philidor, 1749    krippp: The principle of development expressed after move <10.O-O> !!? "Again, it being necessary to observe, as a general rule, that, as it is often dangerous to attack the adversary too soon, here likewise you must be reminded not to be too hasty in your attack, until your pawns are ...      May-16-17 Capablanca vs C Piccardt, 1920    krippp: <krippp> chess.com has a video titled "Magnus Carlsen Reviews His Game vs Aronian", where he admits he doesn't remember the game anymore. So that removes Carlsen from 2). My sources were exaggerating (probably some Internet newspaper). Also puts Fischer's "perfect game memory"      May-08-17 Capablanca vs Kostic, 1919    krippp: <Ulhumbrus> [DIAGRAM] Then comes <16..fxg3+ 17.hxg3 Bxf3 18.gxf3 Qh3> [DIAGRAM] ...and with material now equal, black having the initiative against white's king, white seems to have only 2 options for not losing immediately on material: <19.gxh4 Rxf3+ 20.Ke2 Qg2+ ...      May-08-17 Showalter vs Marshall, 1909    krippp: <offramp> Well you leave away the immediate, critical tactical variation <26..Bxa3 27.Bxg7 Kxg7 28.bxa3>, as played in the game, which leaves white with 1v2 pawns on the Q-side, an advantage more easily used for pawn promotion than white's 3v2 on the K-side. Black is ...      Sep-29-15 Isle of Man Masters (2014)   krippp: Earlier it seemed I couldn't post there. Now I can. Whe-hee.      Sep-28-15 Bobby Fischer    krippp: Does anyone know a free-to-post chess forum? I have an idea about Internet bet-chess, and would like to post it some place where people read it. I have more info at PokerStars IoM Masters (2014)      Nov-03-14 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1987    krippp: <talisman> <16..Ndc4> clears d6, allowing <17..Qe7>, escaping the bishop's diagonal, and a good square for black's queen. Otherwise <15..Qc5> made less sense, he may as well have played <15..Qh5> immediately. Even without Kasparov's <16.Be3>, at c5      Nov-03-14 J Juhnke vs Karpov, 1969    krippp: It's a good game from 18-year-old Karpov, but his opponent is not very strong, repeatedly ignoring good development: <9.Nf5?!> moves the same piece twice for little compensation. <9.Re1> or <9.Bf4> were more logical. <16.Bb2?> again moves a piece twice, and ...      Nov-03-14 Kasparov vs V Rao, 1989   krippp: This opening is so funny. Kasparov's simul opponent plays <9..e3!?>, a move Karpov used to defeat him in their 1987 match ( Kasparov vs Karpov, 1987 ), and where Kasparov found the best reply <10.d3!> over the board.
