slapwa has kibitzed 140 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-20-15 D Foord vs C Crouch, 2006   slapwa: It's an entertaining position, and Kb7 is a quiet move, but it's not a zugzwang. Zugzwang is where the player might be OK but loses because of the obligation to move. Here White has just had it.      Mar-02-15 Kibitzer's Café    slapwa: In both The West Wing and House of Cards the US President plays chess. In WW the Russian President's name is Chigorin. In HoC Petrov. Chess-playing writers or what?      Nov-24-14 C F Tears vs R Llorens Riera, 1958    slapwa: How about 54. ...., Bf1?      Jun-29-14 Najdorf vs H Ree, 1971    slapwa: Can white play 23. h3? If 23 ..., Ne5, 24 Bf6+, Kf8 25 Bh7. If 23. ... Be5 24. Bf4. Am I missing something?      Mar-28-14 Korneev vs Y Piskov, 1996    slapwa: I take it the point at the end is something like 24. …, Kd8; 25. Qe6, Qa4; 26. Qxd6+, Qd7; 27 Rxe8+, Kxe8; 28 Re1+, Kd8; 29 Qf8+ ?      Dec-06-13 Short vs Kasparov, 1989    slapwa: 84. ..., Nxh2 was just showing off. There was nothing wrong with 84. ..., Kf2.      Oct-09-13 Korchnoi vs Keres, 1975    slapwa: Difficult to believe this is Korchnoi's only victory over Keres.      Sep-15-13 Miles vs Seirawan, 1987    slapwa: Classy zugzwang: if 48. .., Ka5; 49. Bxe5.      Sep-07-13 Kudrin vs Goldin, 2005   slapwa: The score can't be correct. 31. Qxg6+.      Jul-23-13 J S Stanley vs W Tullidge, 1888   slapwa: 32 ..., Bxd3 33. Kxd3, d5 was simpler.
