vajeer has kibitzed 149 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-29-23 D Prelevic vs N Gagic, 2000    vajeer: Fine points dictate the outcome. Keeping rook on a8 helps avoid killer R�g7 and black should have a playable game. Black should play Ra1+ only after whites's rook has moved from seventh rank.      Jan-28-23 Kaidanov vs W J Donaldson, 1992    vajeer: I chose 19...g6 as defense. White gets a better position and a pawn up. But some way off from victory perhaps?      Jan-27-23 Van Wely vs A Fishbein, 1993    vajeer: There is a lot of fireworks in the line suggested by Stockfish. White will need careful play to pull off a win. Nice puzzle.      Dec-10-22 P Passerotti vs G Andruet, 1984    vajeer: <Knightf7mate: Someone buy Chris Owen a thesaurus and a dictionary to help him increase his word power> You are wrong. His have been the hardest puzzles on this site. Noone has been able to solve them so far. ; -)      Dec-03-22 P Ravn vs Portisch, 1957    vajeer: 39. Rb1+ is blunder. Black should have won after 39...Rh3+ 40. Kf1 Qh3+ White wins with 39.Qb8+ I tried hard to see a mating pattern there, and there isn't any (too bad for a puzzle :), but white gets a won end game in that line.      Dec-01-22 Spassky vs Portisch, 1957    vajeer: Also computer suggests 19...Bg4 instead of Bh3. That line leaves white with clear advantage, but white needs to play carefully. Certainly looks complicated for Thuursday.      Nov-26-22 J Tompa vs J Cuibus, 1973    vajeer: There is a quicker mate with 31.Bg5+      Nov-04-22 W G Doubleday vs Kudrin, 2004    vajeer: I found this easy actually. It's screaming for rook sacrifice, and king hunt is not difficult to spot. In fact black can mate in 3-4 different ways. In that sense it is easy, it's not easy for black to make a mistake and turn win into defeat!      Sep-17-22 A Riazantsev vs A Iljushin, 2010    vajeer: Unfortunately I can,t post the game I have snapshot showing the moves and final position. But can't attach it here.      Sep-15-22 B Lovric vs M Sinanovic, 1998    vajeer: Found it. I differed at 19. With Bxf6 which also wins decisively. But 19. Rxg7 is quicker.
