missionmankiwi has kibitzed 14 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-07-14 Jonathan M Adams    missionmankiwi: Thanks for reminding me of that win against Aram! He still plays at North Sydney. Nowadays I am living at Penrith and playing at Rooty Hill RSL Chess Club (both western Sydney).      Aug-23-12 G Lane vs Nunn, 1980   missionmankiwi: Great commentary on this win by a young Gary Lane in his book on the Ultimate Closed Sicilian.      Aug-14-12 J M Adams vs H R Gold, 1999   missionmankiwi: Thanks for the comments, folks. I completely agree with the Non-existent Knight.      Oct-06-11 Janowski vs E Schallopp, 1896    missionmankiwi: 12 Bd5 is very pretty!      Oct-06-11 E Z Adams vs Torre, 1920    missionmankiwi: Real game or not, it is still simply beautiful!      Oct-06-11 Ed. Lasker vs G Thomas, 1912    missionmankiwi: Beautiful Q-sac beginning 11 Qxh7+. But Black's position was ripe for the picking on the K-side: Count the pieces (a la IM Gary Lane)      Jan-30-09 Alan Grant Kerr    missionmankiwi: Grant Kerr played his early chess in Dunedin, New Zealand, and played for New Zealand at 2 Olympiads. He also earned some temporary fame when during the 1970s in Dunedin he and local player Aldous Skuja set what was then the world record for continuous 5 minute chess playing.      Nov-19-08 J M Adams vs R Ong, 1977    missionmankiwi: I made the bad mistake in this game (against an Otago University student from Malaysia) of letting him play a very sharp line I did not know beyond superficially, the Dragon, and responding with the very sharp Yugoslav Attack. I quickly lost material and then the ...Rxc3 ...      Nov-18-08 R Nokes vs J M Adams, 1977   missionmankiwi: I remember this game well. I never got any play after Roger's bind following his 4 Qxd4 against my Sicilian. It was a slow but sure death. Never mind - Roger was (and is) much higher rated than I and is currently doing very well for New Zealand in the Olympiad at Dresden.      Nov-11-08 J M Adams vs J Bolens, 2008    missionmankiwi: A horrible swindle. I was completely winning! Not the first time that Johnny has done that to someone - not by a long chalk!
