Jun-01-09 R Nezhmetdinov vs P Romanovsky, 1956
|
likestofork: When the final resting place for Black's dark-squared bishop is d8, Black's winning percentage sort of sucks. Probably comparable to Rice vs. Texas in football. |

Dec-07-07 Miles vs Timman, 1984 
|
likestofork: <King Two to the Twentieth> The big deal is that the Ka-nig-it is under attack twice with the possibility of only be protected once. So the Ka-nig-it is forced to move, in this case to one of only 5 squares. Not one of the 5 moves will not result in a non-lost game. ... |

|
likestofork: < keres777: Don't know if this would be a good GoTD, but a nice pun would be : 'Battle of Waterloo'. :-) > Considering we have a Turk and a Christian, and adding to that the level of play, how about 'The Patzer's Crusade'? |

Aug-04-07 Onischuk vs N Vekshenkov, 2004
|
likestofork: Either I'm confused, or the game score's wrong somewhere, but what would be wrong with 24....Nxf4+? Considering that the B was hanging in subsequent moves (26....Nxf4+ picks up a rook and pawn, or a couple of bishops), and these guys aren't total patzers, I'm saying game score. ... |

likestofork: <savagerules: You sure this was really Nigel Short (2683) or some 1600 rated player impersonating him?> Actually, it was the ghost of Tony Miles possessing Nigel at an opportune moment. |
