larkio has kibitzed 8 times to chessgames

Oct-15-11 B C Yildiz Kadioglu vs Y Hou, 2011    larkio: 12... b5! impressed me. I would never have noticed it, because b5 seemed too well defended. However, 15. Ncxb5 falls to 15... e5! and 16 ... Nxe4, deflecting the queen (the computer recommends 16 ... d5!!, but I dare not comment here), and 15. Ndxb5 is also bad on account of ...Nxe4.      Oct-02-11 Tal vs M Stean, 1975    larkio: Seems like "Stean Rolled" would be more appropriate.      Sep-14-11 Carlsen vs Anand, 2011    larkio: Well, I laughed at your joke at first, but after reading your rant, I feel kind of bad about finding it funny.      Aug-15-10 R Lutzenberger vs K Grimm, 1999    larkio: Rather than opening files immediately with gxf6, I saw that 18. e5!! forced ...Bxg2.

White is completely winning in the ending position here with Re7+! The only thing to add is that white is even more winning than your first line (30..Qxe7 31.Qxd5+ Kc7 [31..Ka7 or Kb8 32. Nc6+] 32.Qc6+ Kb8 33.Qb6+ Ka8) would indicate - ...      Feb-25-10 R G Hegde vs S Palatnik, 1988    larkio: 59. ... Bg7 and after almost any rook move black can play Bd4, threatening to take the pawn and thus forcing Rh7 as there are no other good moves, it seems. At that point black can just reply with Bg7 again. I would never have seen this trick if it weren't for Dvoretsky's endgame ...      Feb-20-10 Tseshkovsky vs Alburt, 1976    larkio: Hey all, registered for the first time to talk about this game.
