raphi45 has kibitzed 17 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-05-16 Topalov vs Anand, 1999    raphi45: Thinking about it, it might take 40 ply to find the truth as far as what is black's best 23rd move. It might be another 10 years before these engines can routinely give us 40 ply in a reasonable amount of time. Ah Truth, wherefore art thou.      Nov-20-15 Capablanca vs S Campos, 1927    raphi45: Yes BxChess, 18. ... d5 does save the game. The best white can do is 19. Nxd5 (-3.97, 25ply). 19. exd5 puts him at -6.19 . This according to houdini 4.      Aug-24-15 Carlsen vs Topalov, 2015    raphi45: Magnus is saving himself and his ideas for the BIG one (world championship match). Unfortunately this is a necessary (as Magnus sees it) chink in the "Beauty in Chess". For this some might consider him a "lowlife", but the ideal life only exists in one's imagination.      Jun-27-15 Kramnik vs Naiditsch, 2015    raphi45: Beautiful dancing knight for Naiditsch      Jun-05-15 Rozentalis vs So, 2015    raphi45: My knighted queen would only make 2 knight moves in one turn as did tamar's queen did in going from a5 to e7 in one turn, not any number of knight moves in one turn as interpreted by Jim Bartle. A more palatable suggestion is: let the knighted queen be allowed to make "double sized ...      May-24-15 Svidler vs Tomashevsky, 2015    raphi45: oops, sorry for my hallucination 's making you guys start your engines (gentlemen). Unlike Jobova's, my moves are as bad as they look.      Apr-25-15 Wei Yi vs M Rodshtein, 2015    raphi45: Yes, the kid is only 15      Apr-24-15 Wei Yi vs M Ezat, 2015    raphi45: re my last post : better yet check out Sally Simpson's (aka Geoff Chandler) profile and click on his last link, he will show what bliss is.      Apr-04-15 Dubov vs S Lu, 2015    raphi45: Dubov is a pretty cool customer in handeling his older nasty minded compadre (from prodigy fraternity). Very entertaining game!      Mar-31-15 Aeroflot Open (2015)    raphi45: Check out Dubov's last 2 games and see how this 18 yr old quietly but beautifully packs a powerful punch
