May-17-14 R Douven vs Van der Wiel, 1989    tallinn: I guess the real difficulty of Nxe6 is the aftermath. Fritz defends as black with Bxg2+ Kxg2 fxe6 Qxe6+ Kh8 Rxc8 Qb7+ Kf2 Rxc8 exd6 and the exposed position of the white king gives black counterplay with lots of difficulties for white to defend. It doesn't matter that Fritz ...      Dec-13-13 Ljubojevic vs Van der Wiel, 1986    tallinn: I am in the group of those that thought after Qxh4 White has nothing gained... Oh well. I would have won that game without knowing why :) "Woot? He resigned? Lucky me."      Nov-21-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013    tallinn: <Fangues Fair> After 33 e6 Black can give back his material advantage: Nxf6 kills the cat, the result is probably a draw. e.g Nxf6 gxf Qxf6 e7 (better than opening the f-file for Black) Qxe7 Rxe5 and material is balanced, position as well.      Nov-13-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013    tallinn: just a probably bad idea but is vishy planning to sac the knight on d6 to get a free pawn there?      Apr-01-13 Carlsen vs Svidler, 2013    tallinn: I support Ulhumbrus b4 for the moment. Either exchange for c5 or getting an advanced pawn on b5.      Nov-27-12 P Soderberg vs Taimanov, 1998    tallinn: Once you see that Qe1 would be mate if not the white queen protect that field finding the combination is easy as you have spotted the deadly diagonal. Does Kg3 deserve two question marks or is the game lost already for white even with a different king move on 57....?      Oct-29-12 L Christiansen vs Blatny, 1996    tallinn: This one was harder than expected, as I first selected Rxh3, visualizing the Qg1# mate, noticed the white queen then and started to look around for something different then Rxh3 until I noticed that there was another, working mate in it. I imagine to have this position on the 40th ...      Aug-11-12 Lutikov vs L Aronson, 1957    tallinn: As I am enjoying Once's posts to the problems given here, I do not get it why he is criticized for not giving analysis. Would that add to the fun provided by his texts? Not at all. Once, are you writing for a newspaper column? If not, think about it.      Oct-10-11 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2011    tallinn: (After 11. 0-0) Common is to have the white bishop on g2 in this position. Bh3 looks awkward to me. What is the bishop doing there?      Mar-02-11 Hjartarson vs Van der Wiel, 1984    tallinn: Fail. So my solution to this one was Rxb6 Nxb6 Qa6+ Ka8 (Kb8 Rc8+ and mate) Rc8+ and as Nxc8 is met with Qc6+ Kb8 Qxc8# Black has to give the queen with Qb8. I take comfort in the fact that even my very sub-optimal play would have won that position. For some obscure reason while ...      Mar-01-11 M Kraemer vs J Campos Moreno, 2010     Dec-01-10 G Wainwright vs Blackburne, 1906     Oct-05-10 Nepomniachtchi vs I Salgado Lopez, 2008     May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010     May-04-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010     Apr-28-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010     Feb-14-10 Z Gofshtein vs Tseitlin, 1991     Feb-12-10 Shirov vs Dominguez Perez, 2010     Jan-27-10 Kramnik vs Ivanchuk, 2010     Jan-26-10 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2010     Jan-23-10 Nakamura vs Shirov, 2010     Jan-21-10 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2010     Jan-21-10 Van Wely vs Shirov, 2010     Jan-19-10 Carlsen vs Short, 2010     Jan-17-10 Portisch vs de Firmian, 1990     Jan-12-10 Motylev vs B Ivanovic, 2000     Aug-09-09 T Wedberg vs G Sigurjonsson, 1979     Jul-03-09 Adams vs Leko, 1999     May-30-09 P Nikolic vs Korchnoi, 1987     May-22-09 M Tauber vs P Bachmayr, 1991     Mar-02-09 N Sakr vs Ali Atwi, 2001     Feb-05-09 Kraussold vs Volt, 1921     Feb-01-09 O Garcia Carey vs J Bellon Lopez, 2001     Jan-23-09 D Marotti vs W Schoenmann, 1928     Jan-10-09 C Bauer vs Bologan, 2001     Jan-06-09 Plaskett vs J Emms, 1986     Jan-04-09 J Heissler vs Kasimdzhanov, 1999     Jan-03-09 Huebner vs Hort, 1987     Dec-21-08 H Hecht vs H Schaufelberger, 1973     Dec-14-08 A Poluljahov vs Tseshkovsky, 1996     Nov-30-08 N A Legky vs A Summerscale, 1997     Nov-28-08 Dolmatov vs A Guseinov, 1988     Nov-22-08 Kasparov vs Piket, 1997     Nov-21-08 Sveshnikov vs A Kveinys, 1996     Nov-19-08 Fedorowicz vs K Leung, 2001     Nov-18-08 Korchnoi vs P Bakker, 1976     Nov-16-08 Spassky vs V Korensky, 1973     Nov-14-08 Van Wely vs K Georgiev, 1997     Nov-09-08 Fedorov vs Lanka, 1997     Oct-12-08 Serper vs Barsov, 1988     Aug-10-08 I Ivanov vs Tseshkovsky, 1977     Jul-31-08 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 1994     Jul-27-08 Kotronias vs N Davies, 1994     Jul-25-08 L Y Hsu vs Nunn, 1992     Jul-20-08 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925     Jul-19-08 Kotronias vs Kramnik, 1992     Jul-09-08 Salov vs J Horvath, 1983     Jul-05-08 Ribli vs Lobron, 1992     Jul-04-08 M Stoinev vs A Kovalev, 1992     Jun-01-08 E Mortensen vs L Karlsson, 1988     May-04-08 E Inarkiev vs Kazhgaleyev, 2008     Apr-27-08 I Ivanov vs Kudrin, 1989     Feb-27-08 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1961     Feb-17-08 Kholmov vs I Polgar, 1979     Feb-16-08 G Horvath vs Kupreichik, 1992     Feb-13-08 Kasparov vs Tukmakov, 1982     Dec-12-07 W Pollock vs E Hall, 1890     Dec-11-07 L B Hansen vs Timman, 1994     Dec-02-07 K Georgiev vs C Ionescu, 1986     Sep-27-07 Ed.
