Apr-18-09 Chigorin vs Alapin, 1885

| nikolaas: I think something like 13.Be7 Net 14.Nd4 0-0-0 15.Qe1 followed by Ne6 would give excellent winning chances, indeed. |

| nikolaas: <Whiteshark> You think two champioenship are confusing? Belgian had 5 once. In 1936 the normal Belgian championship was held. The title of international champion of Belgium and that of national champion of Belgium luckily went to the same person (Koltanowski). There was also ... |

Aug-05-07 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007
| |
| nikolaas: <luckyicekiller>

Jul-23-07 Paul Devos
| |
| nikolaas: The excellent "dictionnaire des échecs" by Le Lionnais (which I obtained for €1 - second hand books are great), says only "champion de Belgique 1945 et 1948", but this does no justice to Devos, who was for two decades or so one of Belgium's leading players (for what that's ... |

Jul-18-07 O'Kelly vs P Devos, 1937

| nikolaas: Since Devos and O'Kelly finished aqual in the Belgian championship of 1937 (with 7½/9, 1 point ahead of Dunkelblum), a play-off was needed. This game is the first of the play-off match and the only one that gained some fame. Although it wouldn't score high as a chess problem ... |

nikolaas:  <whatthefat> I wouldn't be so sure about it. Honestly I think Bg3 is a good move, since it defends f2 and, more important, defends the bishop. In the current position there are a few lines in which f5 ... |
