Oct-30-21 Unzicker vs Taimanov, 1952   scutigera: I haven't looked at any analysis, but I'm pretty sure that Unzicker played 15 Nb1 and 16 Nd2 with the expectation of playing Nf3-h2-f1-e3 and finally Pc4, discovered that Taimanov had busted his preparation, tried to find other ways to make Pc4 happen, then tried to find ways to ...      Oct-30-21 Taimanov vs Petrosian, 1953   scutigera: <Abdel Irada>: To be fair to the factoid consensus, each of the terms "Eskimo", "words", and "for snow" requires a lot of defining, but you are quite correct: C.W. Schultz-Lorentzen's 1926 "Dictionary of the West Greenlandic Eskimo Language" (available today in later ...      Oct-25-21 Chigorin vs Tarrasch, 1893    scutigera: <Petrocephalon>: I'm pretty sure you meant "[Fred] Reinfeld", but thanks for the lovely anagram I never noticed before. For one thing, it's strong evidence that Irving Chernev was Dracula.      Oct-11-21 Ponomariov vs Topalov, 2005   scutigera: <eternaloptimist>: Which Stockfish are you using, and how do you have it set? My Stockfish-231-64 gives me 24 a3 also on ten seconds per move, but on 60 seconds it gives me Nh6+, just like the game.      Jul-29-21 Teichmann vs Spielmann, 1909    scutigera: I do remember Alekhine (or "Alekhine") complimenting Teichmann's "very fine chess sensibility" in one of the two notorious articles on Aryan vs Jewish chess published in 1941.      Jul-27-21 J Polgar vs Anand, 1999   scutigera: <A Bobby Fischer or Gary Kasparov just lives and breathes chess. They want to gut you in the tournament hall with a bowie knife.> And yet even then the element of gloating over the opponent's loss is usually absent, and I think that's shown by how such players take even ...      Jul-11-21 Capablanca vs H E Chambers, 1912    scutigera: "'Time Has Come Today' is a hit single by the American psychedelic soul group the Chambers Brothers, written by Willie & Joe Chambers. The song was recorded and released as a single in 1966 by Columbia Records...It is now considered one of the landmark rock songs of the ...      Jul-10-21 Valeri Lilov    scutigera: If you're as old as I am, it's hard to see that picture and not think "Nigel Short + Pee Wee Herman."      Jul-06-21 Furman vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1954   scutigera: Steinitz can say what he will about "aesthetic horror"; if my every loss were like Nezh's here instead of my usual slop, I'd play a whole lot more chess.      Jul-02-21 Alekhine / Koltanowski vs Antwerp, 1934    scutigera: I guess "tandem" isn't a familiar word anymore. All it means is a pair arrangement where one is behind the other instead of side-by-side. This was much more common back in the horse era when you might need more than one horse for a cart or carriage, but did not have horses that ...      Jun-28-21 Kosteniuk vs C Foisor, 2012     Jun-27-21 NN vs G H Derrickson, 1860     Jun-19-21 Kmoch vs Prins, 1940     Jun-17-21 Ju Wenjun vs C Yip, 2020     May-31-21 Alekhine vs M Scholtz, 1932    May-11-21 Keres vs Geller, 1962    Mar-22-21 Pelletier vs Matamoros Franco, 2012     Mar-09-21 M Delage vs S Prokofiev, 1937     Mar-07-21 Svidler vs Topalov, 2004     Mar-02-21 Zeyu Xiang vs Yibo Zhou, 2019     Feb-14-21 Alekhine vs C Cardenas, 1929     Feb-14-21 Smbat Lputian     Feb-02-21 E Perelshteyn vs E Berg, 2003    Jan-18-21 A Jerez Perez vs Romero Holmes, 2001     Jan-17-21 S Ionov vs A Yashtylov, 2000     Jan-12-21 Korchnoi vs Fischer, 1962     Jan-12-21 Fischer vs Benko, 1962     Jan-12-21 Tal vs Korchnoi, 1962    Jan-05-21 Ragozin vs Kotov, 1945    Jan-02-21 Mikhalchishin vs Romanishin, 1981    Jan-02-21 Benjamin vs Gufeld, 1998     Dec-01-20 G Koshnitsky vs Hewitt, 1945     Nov-28-20 Fischer vs R Burger, 1964     Nov-23-20 P Maghsoodloo vs Carlsen, 2020    Nov-16-20 B Modr vs V Benes, 1981     Nov-13-20 H T Jacobsen vs H Ragnarsson, 2017     Nov-13-20 Murey vs Nikitin, 1971     Nov-12-20 P Dahms vs A Nickel, 1988     Nov-12-20 A Nickel vs P Dahms, 1989     Nov-07-20 Yagupov vs A Rustemov, 1995     Nov-06-20 Vladimir Kramnik     Oct-24-20 Kamsky vs Kramnik, 1994    Oct-14-20 D Djakova vs P J Draganova, 2001     Oct-10-20 Tartakower vs Fine, 1937     Oct-06-20 Hanielle Ntsame Nguema Sajoux    Oct-06-20 Asha Kondo vs Hanielle Ntsame Nguema Sajoux, 2018    Oct-05-20 I Bilek vs Tal, 1967    Oct-02-20 Spielmann vs M Walter, 1928    Oct-02-20 Rubinstein vs Spielmann, 1912    Oct-02-20 Karpov vs Spassky, 1975     Sep-29-20 Arencibia Rodriguez vs Z Franco Ocampos, 1990     Sep-20-20 Fine vs G Page, 1933    Sep-18-20 D Dvirnyy vs Shirov, 2020     Sep-01-20 Gulko vs Alburt, 1975     Aug-24-20 E Barbosa vs A Chiari, 2012    Aug-11-20 H D Smith vs O Michaelis, 1869    Jul-26-20 Dvoirys vs Timoscenko, 1988     Jul-19-20 S Kagan vs E Torre, 1972     May-15-20 V Hruby vs Paulsen, 1882     Apr-20-20 A Kveinys vs Speelman, 2002    Mar-13-20 A Teller vs Reti, 1926     Mar-09-20 Birbrager vs Tal, 1953     Mar-09-20 Tal vs G Ilivitsky, 1953    Mar-09-20 A Novikova vs O Lelekova, 2019    Mar-02-20 Z Sturua vs V N Kozlov, 1975     Nov-10-19 K Spraggett vs G Glen, 1975    Oct-19-19 C McNab vs M Karttunen, 2006    Oct-19-19 D A Yeager vs Stripunsky, 2008     Oct-07-19 Tal vs P Mejic, 1974     Sep-17-19 McShane vs D Yuffa, 2019     Sep-03-19 Ganguly vs Axel Smith, 2019     Jul-04-19 Shirov vs J Lapinski, 1990     Jun-20-19 M Matlakov vs Eljanov, 2013     May-30-19 Ponomariov vs Gelfand, 2008     May-21-19 Alberto Baca vs I Kanko, 1966     Mar-03-19 V Ciocaltea vs C Radovici, 1968     Feb-04-19 V Colin vs I Hera, 2018    Jan-06-19 Reti vs Vidmar, 1926    Dec-04-18 Windhorst vs K Shoup, 1985     Dec-03-18 W Pollock vs S Langleben / F Colson, 1893    Nov-29-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018     Oct-28-18 B Assaubayeva vs Salim Al Amri Salim Mohammed, 2018    Oct-28-18 Speelman vs Larsen, 1978     Oct-25-18 L Piasetski vs Semyon Lomasov, 2018    Oct-25-18 A Makarov vs T Heinrich, 1998     Oct-15-18 A Karayev vs A J Datu, 2008     Aug-05-18 I Stohl vs Kuczynski, 1993     Jul-09-18 Englisch vs J Bauer, 1890     Jun-24-18 Rozentalis vs Dokhoian, 1986     Jun-21-18 Svidler vs Grischuk, 2013     Apr-02-18 Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927     Jan-09-18 V Vorotnikov vs I Ivanov, 1977     Jan-08-18 L Cooper vs I Ivanov, 1987     Jan-02-18 H N Hansen vs Tartakower, 1923     Dec-26-17 A Volokitin vs Ding Liren, 2017     Nov-26-17 E Kossak vs Dufresne, 1851     Nov-05-17 Botvinnik vs Vidmar, 1946     Oct-02-17 V Babula vs Giri, 2015    Jul-02-17 Wei Yi vs Navara, 2016     Jun-20-17 Lewis vs NN, 1820     Jun-10-17 Suruchee Thing     Jun-06-17 Morphy vs Le Carpentier, 1849     May-28-17 Prince Matchabelli vs Prince Dadian, 1880    May-28-17 Prince Matchabelli    Apr-29-17 Yifan Hou vs Short, 2008    Apr-22-17 Polugaevsky vs Lutikov, 1969     Apr-16-17 A Anastasian vs A Duman, 2003     Apr-12-17 J F Campbell vs A Ehrlich, 1990     Mar-27-17 Morozevich vs Kiriakov, 1992     Mar-14-17 V Laznicka vs Sveshnikov, 2017     Mar-14-17 Fedorchuk vs I Sokolov, 2009     Feb-21-17 Kosteniuk vs Shiqun Ni, 2017     Feb-13-17 O Zimina vs S Barth Stanford, 2013     Feb-01-17 Spassky vs Bronstein, 1960     Jan-13-17 Mamedyarov vs K Shanava, 2012     Jan-04-17 Seirawan vs Beliavsky, 1988     Dec-16-16 R Nezhmetdinov vs Suetin, 1947     Dec-01-16 Carlsen -
