mmousez has kibitzed 48 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-09-15 Reti vs Capablanca, 1928    mmousez: How does one know if the King has or has not moved, and hence castling is disallowed or allowed, in these puzzles?      Nov-30-14 V Kuznetsov vs G Gajewski, 2007    mmousez: I don't get it: 1. Why didn't White play 24. fxg3 taking the bishop and connecting the K-side pawns? It seems that the follow-up: 24. fxg3 Rf1+ 25. Qxf1 gxf1Q+ 26. Kxf1 Nb3 forking a1 Rook and c1 Bishop can be answered by 27. Ra3 Nxc1 28. axb5 axb5 29. Nd2 and White seems fine: R, ...      Jul-24-14 F Alvarez vs Karpov, 1972    mmousez: Very beautiful game. Amazing Knight moves towards the end. I'm lost for words...      Feb-27-14 Boleslavsky vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1957    mmousez: On move 22, if Black had played bxc4 eliminating one of the dangerous Knights, can Black hold the game?      Dec-30-13 Z Peng vs S Plukkel, 2010    mmousez: Anybody who attempts to relate to the pun "the pen is mightier than the sword" has a very misguided understanding of the Chinese surname Peng, in both pronunciation and meaning.      Nov-24-13 S Kristjansson vs I Cheparinov, 2013   mmousez: Stonehenge: oops, I wrongly saw the R as being on f8 instead of g8. So yes, 42. Kg1 is illegal. Looks like after 42. Ng3, fxg3+ 43. Kg2 gxh2+ 44. Kxh2 Bg3+ etc. It's going to be a K-hunt for Black vs the Queening pawn for White. Not sure how that's going to end though.      Aug-31-13 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997    mmousez: Let's not be harsh on Garry. In a recent interview with Sir David Frost, he said about this game: 1. Both he and Deep Blue missed a way for Black to save the game. He didn't go into the specifics, so perhaps a chess expert can elaborate on this one. (I am thinking maybe after 8. ...      Aug-30-13 L Kaufman vs K Gulamali, 2012    mmousez: How should White proceed if Black plays 25. ... Kd6? I tried 26. Qg4 Kxd5 27. Qf3+ Kd6 and can't find any way to get the Black King.      Jun-04-13 Dominguez Perez vs Topalov, 2013    mmousez: After 30. Kb2, how does White defend against Black doubling rooks on the A file and gunning down with them?      Jun-04-13 D Barua vs M Damit, 1983    mmousez: This game is begging for a pun with "Damnit!" in it...
