sambo has kibitzed 229 times to chessgames   [more...]

Feb-11-22 A Esipenko vs Nakamura, 2022    sambo: why not the obvious 29. cxd5?      Sep-03-21 M Parligras vs P Stremavicius, 2021   sambo: surely the 23rd moves are erroneous?      Nov-10-20 Xiong vs Nakamura, 2020    sambo: a real rout! Black has no initiative whatsoever already after the 18th move, and it's kind of astounding to see Naka play something like 22...Ba8      Feb-06-20 Plaskett vs Miles, 1986    sambo: perhaps this is naive, or answered above (although I didn't see it) -- but why not 22...Qxd3 as an alternative to taking the pawn? Is it that black was playing for a win and taking d3 leaves a perpetual, or is there a white win in that line that I'm missing?      Jan-14-20 A Kashlinskaya vs Sevian, 2018    sambo: 22. b5 was shocking to me when I first played it through, but after some Stockfish time I see it's quite essential to prevent Ne6 from blocking the powerful attack on f7. So strong, such a beautiful game!      Dec-04-18 Balashov vs Jansa, 2017    sambo: 39...Re1 fails because 40 Qxf5+ puts black in check and defends the pawn on f3      Oct-20-18 N Pert vs R Britton, 2018   sambo: 24? is a puzzle move -- tough to see, but so strong!      Mar-19-18 A Guest vs Bird, 1886   sambo: 18. Kb5 Qxd5+ 19. Ka6 Nd6#      Oct-03-17 Capablanca vs L B Tuckerman, 1912   sambo: 43 Kd4 seems so straightforward!      Sep-07-17 M Muzychuk vs E Koepke, 2008    sambo: why not 16... or 17...dxe5?
