pyryk has kibitzed 67 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-07-12 Tal Memorial (2012)    pyryk: The live broadcast at http://video.russiachess.org/view/1... has just started, showing opening formalities at the moment. Perhaps the blitz tournament will soon start..      Feb-21-12 S Williams vs Adams, 2012    pyryk: If 21. Nxb7, instead of ..Qxb7, I imagine Black would respond with ..Qf4+ 22. Kb1 Rd2 threatening both the queen and bishop. A catastrophe on b2 does not seem far off either.      Aug-03-07 Risto Kauranen    pyryk: I'd just like to add to whitesharks account that Risto Kauranen seems to be a GM in correspondence chess and his national cc rating (KELO) is 2605 as of 25.6.2007, making him the 2nd highest ranked player in Finland. Also, I spotted one minor mistake in whiteshark's account: he was ...      Oct-16-06 Tomi Nyback    pyryk: I just realized that TPR 2887 is very probably the highest ever recorded by a Finn. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I just can't imagine that any Finnish player has even come close to achieving such a high performance rating before.      Aug-26-06 The World vs A Nickel, 2006    pyryk: <suenteus po 147> I don't really think you can escape theory by choosing an opening like 1.f4 (bird's opening). For example, Keith Hayward's site ( http://www.geocities.com/drawyah/ ) has quite a lot of analysis on that particular opening.      Aug-24-06 Sam Loyd    pyryk: <positionalgenius>: 1. Rg4 isn't mate, 1..g5 blocks the check.      Aug-12-06 A W Fox vs H E Bauer, 1900    pyryk: Well, for the first time I can honestly say that I managed to "solve" a saturday puzzle in ~5 seconds. However, I didn't really have to calculate one bit - I realized that I had encountered this game a couple of hours ago while going through Vukovic's <Art of Attack in Chess>. ...      Jun-30-06 Kibitzer's Café    pyryk: <FICS> Please add me to the list of chessgames.com users that have an account on FICS. My handle on FICS is the same as here, pyryk.      Jun-19-06 King's Gambit Declined (C30)    pyryk: <KingG> Thanks for the commentary. About 12..e4!, I had thought about it during the game but I thought I could play 13. d5. That move is of course just losing now that I look at it.      Jun-11-06 F Vallejo Pons vs Topalov, 2006    pyryk: <babakova> 6.g4 is a bit unusual - Black hasn't played Nf6 so the g-pawn isn't really threatening anything.
