Jan-15-10 A Graf vs T Tabatadze, 1989    swarmoflocusts: I had the position after 27.Ra4 as a problem on CT-Art. It might make a decent early-week tactics puzzle.      Jan-07-10 Uncommon Opening (A00)    swarmoflocusts: <chessman95> I'll play you that as white any day. I'd love to see some games you've played with it, if you have any.      Jan-07-10 Ed. Lasker vs G A Thomas, 1912    swarmoflocusts: <Qb6: Why didn't he play 18. 0-0-0#?> He probably thought 18.Kd2# was more elegant, and I agree with him. <I'm reminded of National Lampoon's Motto emblazoned inside "Bored of the Rings": Ars gratia pecuniae.> Is it really? That's beautiful.      Jan-07-10 Kamsky vs Karpov, 1996    swarmoflocusts: <Benzol> You're right, of course, but actually better than 34...Qxc4 is 34...Qf5, when white's rook must fall, as any rook move is at worst mate in four for black (e.g. 35.Re1 Qxf3+ 36.Qg2 Bxg2#). <Woody Wood Pusher> I disagree. I think 27.Bd2 is the losing ...      Jan-06-10 Carlsen vs S Ernst, 2004    swarmoflocusts: After 18.Ng6 Rfe8 19.Nxe7 Rxe7, Carlsen may have an advantage but Ernst is still alive at least. (Fritz evaluates the position after 19...Rxe7 as +.50 for White, which is still a lot better than +2.13 after 19.Qe6+.)      Jan-03-10 V Liberzon vs Petrosian, 1964    swarmoflocusts: <percyblakeney> Really? Fritz 11 sees that as +1.27, 19 moves deep. But Rybka is better...      Jan-02-10 V Petkov vs R Hamdani, 2006   swarmoflocusts: That is an interesting series of moves, and it seems very likely that they were transcribed incorrectly. However, the game appears in Fritz 11's database with the identical series of moves. The position after 37.Nd2 is evaluated at -.81 for black. After 37...Qb8, 38.Rxb8 is ...      Jan-02-10 I Kurnosov vs M Dzhumaev, 2008    swarmoflocusts: Dzhumaev's game isn't too bad, up to the ninth move. Of course, then he makes a series of blunders leading to his defeat. After 9.Qxc3, Dzhumaev had to play 9...Nxf6, after which white has only a slight advantage. 9...e6 is a blunder, which Fritz 11 evaluates as 3.33 in favor      Dec-08-09 Y Dembo vs Minasian, 2009   swarmoflocusts: It would appear that Minasian flagged. Fritz evaluates the final position as .73, a small advantage for White.      Mar-23-09 Bobotsov vs Ivkov, 1966    swarmoflocusts: <Zzyw> Yes, they are. It says so in their profiles.      Mar-19-09 Nimzowitsch vs Alapin, 1914     Mar-19-09 Fischer vs Robatsch, 1962     Mar-19-09 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2009     Mar-15-09 J Mieses vs NN, 1900     Mar-14-09 Rybka vs Nakamura, 2008     Mar-14-09 Y Santiago vs F Cavalcanti, 2008    Mar-12-09 Koneru vs Shen Yang, 2009     Mar-11-09 Tartakower vs M Billecard, 1907     Mar-08-09 P Popovic vs D Kosic, 1992     Mar-03-09 Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, 1967     Mar-03-09 Smirin vs Gambit Tiger, 2002     Mar-03-09 Polugaevsky vs E Torre, 1984     Mar-01-09 Lipschutz vs Gossip, 1889     Feb-27-09 George Hatfeild Gossip     Feb-27-09 Dolmatov vs Lautier, 1988     Feb-25-09 D Birnbaum vs E Relange, 1995     Feb-25-09 N Davies vs The World, 2008     Feb-22-09 Karpov vs Topalov, 1994     Feb-21-09 Anand vs Kamsky, 1994     Feb-21-09 Polgar vs Kasparov, 2002     Feb-21-09 Karpov - Kamsky FIDE World Championship Match (1996)     Feb-21-09 Petrosian vs Larsen, 1972     Feb-20-09 Smirin vs Y Afek, 1992     Feb-19-09 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1958     Feb-19-09 Kasparov vs The World, 1999     Feb-19-09 City of Amsterdam     Feb-19-09 Amsterdam vs Rotterdam, 1824     Feb-18-09 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2009     Feb-18-09 J Meyer vs R Klees, 2001     Feb-18-09 Kramnik vs Kamsky, 1994     Feb-18-09 Marshall vs R Short, 1894     Feb-17-09 Stein vs S Zhukhovitsky, 1969     Feb-17-09 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1975     Feb-17-09 Ivanchuk vs Ljubojevic, 1992    Feb-17-09 Cordel / Minckwitz / Allies    Feb-17-09 Cordel / Minckwitz / Allies vs Anderssen / Goering / Allies, 1871     Feb-17-09 L Christiansen vs E Kengis, 1992     Feb-17-09 K Kaliwoda vs A Laustsen, 1956     Feb-17-09 M Umansky vs The World, 2009     Feb-17-09 M Pavlov vs D Dragos, 1987     Feb-17-09 Karpov vs Larsen, 1979     Feb-17-09 Tarrasch vs Janowski, 1896     Feb-17-09 Aronian vs A Bagheri, 1997     Feb-17-09 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1978     Feb-16-09 V Atlas vs J Ye, 1994     Feb-15-09 J L Alvarez del Monte vs C Hounie Fleurquin, 1961     Feb-15-09 K Rahn vs L Rellstab, 1941     Feb-15-09 V Borsony vs A Laustsen, 1956     Feb-15-09 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1985     Feb-15-09 S Trofimov vs D Metlyakhin, 1994     Feb-07-09 J Schulten vs Kieseritzky, 1850     Feb-03-09 Karpov vs E Ghaem Maghami, 2009     Feb-03-09 G Minchev vs K Kolev, 1991     Jan-19-09 R Rubenchik vs M Ashley, 2000     Jan-14-09 S Polgar vs P Hardicsay, 1985     Jan-13-09 Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927
