Aug-31-09 Capablanca vs O Chajes, 1918    tayer: This is the only victory of Capablanca in this database that has no comments. I liked how his king joined the attack.      Aug-31-09 O Chajes vs Capablanca, 1915    tayer: 30. Rf1. Big mistake.      Aug-27-09 C Jaffe vs Marshall, 1909   tayer: 44 ... Rxc5 looks like a mistake (in a lost position) but is weird that Marshall make it.      Aug-23-09 Gelfand vs Svidler, 2001   tayer: Starting with 84 e4, nothing makes sense. Why not, for example, 84 ... Bxe4? (maybe a draw but still), or 86. ... Bxb5? or 87. exd5? or 88. ... Bxe6? etc. And why the end position is a draw. Even if it was a blitz, the score should be wrong.      Aug-23-09 Karpov vs Polugaevsky, 1992   tayer: Nice ending. Starting with move 15, they don't stop hitting each other until the end.      Aug-22-09 Karpov vs A Beliavsky, 1981    tayer: In chesslab.com, this game continues: 34 ... Qe7 35 Qf5+ Kh8 36 Qxe5 d4 37 Qxc5 Qxe6 38 Qxd4 1-0      Aug-19-09 Spielmann vs Rubinstein, 1911    tayer: I think that zugzwang is a position where you rather don't have to move (i.e. the fact that you have to move makes things worse), so you would "pass" if you could. After 37 Rxg7+, if black "passes", then white plays 38. Qxg8++      Aug-17-09 Schuster vs C Carls, 1914    tayer: Later Torre believed that he had found a salvation for white: 10 Qd2 Qxe5 11 dxe5 gxh2 12 O-O-O! (with decisive attack). But black can play: 11 ... gxf2+! 12 Ke2 Qxd2 13 Kxd2 fxg1:Q      Jun-22-08 R Urbina vs R Frick, 2004   tayer: Very exiting middlegame tactics.      Jun-01-08 Anand vs Ivanchuk, 1995    tayer: Nice ending by Ivanchuk.
