Oct-06-05 Larsen vs Petrosian, 1966    weirdoid: The winner generally deserves/ed to win, but I cannot help wondering, wouldn't 35. Rxd3 (returning the exchange) have given white a better chance to survive? Would black still have a superior position instead? I feel like it is around even. Any view on that?      Oct-02-05 E Formanek vs Browne, 1970    weirdoid: Why not 37 ... Rxh4?      Sep-23-05 Ivanchuk vs Dolmatov, 1986   weirdoid: Well, regardless of whether it was axb5 or Qxb5, white is a piece down. He does get two pawns (and I would play on with white), but I don't think it is enough compensation, so it is not surprising that Ivanchuk simply resigned - to my understanding he tends to resign early.      Sep-01-05 I Samarin vs Antoshin, 1985    weirdoid: This is item No. 28 in http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/... - Very funny, until we realize that many players (perhaps me included) would have resigned with white (this world is indeed very funny for those who only watch). You may like to explore ...      Sep-01-05 A Dokutchaev vs A Anastasian, 1994    weirdoid: <Anastasia> Wow, is this real? Is this GM Anastasian himself? Wonder how many GM's are lurking around chessgames.com :)      Aug-09-05 Karpov vs C S Matamoros Franco, 2001   weirdoid: I think black did see 24 ... Qxd5 25. Re8+, but did not see until the last moment that after 25... Bf8 26. cxd5 Rxc2 27. Rxa8 or 26 ... Rxe8 he was down a piece. Oops..      Aug-09-05 Fischer vs Portisch, 1962    weirdoid: Amazing. I have to admit I am weak at endgames (etc.), but I wonder, at what point did black lose? The endgame looked pretty even to me until move mid-40's, but by move mid-50's black was completely lost. Did black blunder in between, or did white simply played extremely well and ...      Aug-09-05 Tukmakov vs Tal, 1969    weirdoid: Um, what is going on? Is it so hopeless already that there is no point in continuing the play? After, say, 29. Be2 Qf5 30. Nf2 Rf8 etc. sure it looks severe - but isn't there still a way to continue for a few moves? Or, is it considered better to "escape" that perdition by ...      Aug-05-05 P Openshaw vs P Hummel, 1999    weirdoid: <psmith> To me looks like after 13 ... gxf6 white is busted (which is probably why Keres played 11. Bxf6 first). I wonder what the experts think - any surprising moves at white's disposal?      Aug-03-05 Lajos Portisch    weirdoid: This is not fully chess related, but I cannot refrain from posting it. Was Portisch the strongest (again, strongest, not best) chessplayer of his day? You judge! http://www.ex.ac.uk/~dregis/DR/Stor...      Jul-28-05 S Alonso vs P Lafuente, 2005     Jul-22-05 Reshevsky vs Gligoric, 1952     Jul-20-05 Shabalov vs Shirov, 2005     Jul-01-05 European Championship (2005)     Jun-30-05 S Odendahl vs Quinteros, 1980    Jun-27-05 Adams - Hydra Match (2005)     Jun-16-05 Petrosian vs Euwe, 1953     Jun-14-05 H Hecht vs L Christiansen, 1981     Jun-08-05 R W Smith vs Iturrizaga Bonelli, 2004    Jun-03-05 J Tarjan vs K Hulak, 1983    Jun-02-05 Larsen vs Fischer, 1971     Jun-02-05 Marshall vs Duras, 1913     Jun-02-05 T Bowdler vs de Beaurevoir, 1788     Jun-01-05 M Strange vs J Aagaard, 1994     Jun-01-05 Seirawan vs E E Miolo, 1983     May-28-05 Peter Leko     May-23-05 Kasparov vs Spassky, 1983     May-23-05 Ivanchuk vs Csom, 1989     May-21-05 Adams vs Kasparov, 1999     May-21-05 Ivanchuk vs N Delgado Ramirez, 2005     May-18-05 Kasparov vs Spassky, 1989     May-18-05 MTel Masters (2005)     May-08-05 Andersson vs Polugaevsky, 1990     May-06-05 Browne vs Quinteros, 1980     May-01-05 Ftacnik vs Uhlmann, 1978     Apr-30-05 A Yusupov vs R Morenz, 1981     Apr-30-05 Kavalek vs Matulovic, 1966     Apr-29-05 NN vs J Waitzkin, 1995     Apr-25-05 L E Johannessen vs R Markus, 1995     Apr-23-05 Kasparov vs Gheorghiu, 1982     Apr-22-05 Sadvakasov vs R Holzinger, 2004     Apr-21-05 Tal vs Suetin, 1977     Apr-14-05 Anand vs Timman, 1993     Apr-11-05 Botvinnik vs Levenfish, 1935     Apr-10-05 II Copa ENTEL (2005)    Apr-08-05 Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1977     Apr-07-05 Euwe vs Fischer, 1957     Apr-05-05 M Peltola vs E Maljutin, 1992     Apr-05-05 Systemsson     Apr-04-05 Teimour Radjabov     Apr-01-05 A Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927     Mar-24-05 I Gurevich vs Speelman, 1992     Mar-17-05 Myagmarsuren vs B Andersen, 1964     Feb-26-05 Linares (2005)     Feb-24-05 Kasimdzhanov vs F Vallejo Pons, 2005     Feb-15-05 Czech Championship (2005)     Feb-14-05 Bermuda International (2005)     Feb-11-05 E Najer vs A Bujakevich, 1996     Feb-11-05 Macieja vs Harikrishna, 2005    Feb-10-05 I Rogers vs Van der Wiel, 1976     Jan-28-05 Fischer vs Geller, 1967     Jan-28-05 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1963     Jan-28-05 Keres vs Fischer, 1959     Jan-27-05 Marcel Duchamp     Jan-23-05 Ujtumen vs A Lein, 1965     Jan-09-05 Loek van Wely     Jan-04-05 A Harju vs M Liimatta, 1986     Dec-22-04 L Aroshidze vs M Eriksson, 2004     Dec-22-04 Bobotsov vs Larsen, 1969     Dec-04-04 Z Almasi vs Khalifman, 1997     Dec-03-04 Kaidanov vs T Enkhbat, 2004     Nov-26-04 W Adams vs A Simonson, 1940     Nov-24-04 G Vescovi vs Gelfand, 2004     Nov-24-04 Josef Rejfir     Nov-22-04 Russian Championship Superfinal (2004)     Nov-07-04 Tarrasch vs G Marco, 1892     Oct-30-04 R Vokroj vs A Postl, 2000     Oct-24-04 R Nezhmetdinov vs Filip, 1954     Oct-21-04 Ognjen Cvitan     Oct-17-04 Korchnoi vs Polugaevsky, 1977     Oct-16-04 R Beyen vs Filip, 1971     Oct-06-04 Karpov vs E Gik, 1968     Sep-25-04 P Kiriakov vs Svidler, 1991     Sep-05-04 A I Tuzovsky vs Tal, 1975     Sep-05-04 Huebner vs Tal, 1982     Sep-03-04 Savielly Tartakower     Sep-03-04 Fischer vs Pachman, 1960     Aug-31-04 R Krogius vs A Ojanen, 1944     Aug-30-04 Eliskases vs P Frydman, 1938     Aug-20-04 F Deacon vs V Green, 1862     Aug-19-04 Huebner vs Kasparov, 1992     Aug-15-04 J Dobias vs M Flohr, 1934    Aug-08-04 J Lewi vs J Adamski, 1969     Jul-29-04 W J Aramil vs Shabalov, 2004     Jul-19-04 Fischer vs Uhlmann, 1970     Jul-17-04 Chessmaster vs L Christiansen, 2002     Jul-17-04 Myagmarsuren vs H MacGrillen, 1972     Jul-16-04 Carlsen vs S Agdestein, 2004     Jul-13-04 J Pinter vs S Arkhipov, 1983     Jul-10-04 Mecking vs Reshevsky, 1973     Jul-09-04 Fischer vs Geller, 1961     Jul-09-04 Short vs R J Miles, 1976     Jul-09-04 Yuri Balashov     Jul-08-04 Tolush vs Petrosian, 1957     Jul-08-04 J Tarjan vs T Shaw, 1976     Jul-02-04 N Novotelnov vs Flohr, 1950     Jun-24-04 Kamsky vs Ivanchuk, 1992     Jun-22-04 E Book vs Najdorf, 1937     Jun-22-04 R Felgaer vs Jobava, 2004     Jun-20-04 L Kritz vs Sasikiran, 2004     Jun-17-04 Tonu Oim     Jun-16-04 Adams vs V Akopian, 2004     Jun-13-04 Keene vs R Eales, 1971     Jun-12-04 Fischer vs M Radojcic, 1963     Jun-12-04 Haji Ardiansyah     Jun-08-04 N Padevsky vs H Messing, 1973     Jun-07-04 Bogoljubov vs NN, 1952     Jun-06-04 Fischer vs G Badilles, 1967    Jun-05-04 Lutikov vs Velimirovic, 1966     Jun-04-04 Tal vs Bronstein, 1982     Jun-04-04 J Cooper vs J Mestel, 1978     May-30-04 Bobby Fischer     May-29-04 Kudrin vs S Conquest, 1984     May-28-04 V Vukovic vs Kmoch, 1922     May-25-04 I Morovic Fernandez vs Kamsky, 1994    May-22-04 A Greenfeld vs Korchnoi, 2004    May-21-04 Petrosian vs Karpov, 1973     May-18-04 Evgeny Sveshnikov     May-16-04 Polugaevsky vs Ftacnik, 1982     Apr-29-04 Miles vs Seirawan, 1976     Apr-28-04 Kasparov vs K Georgiev, 1988     Apr-26-04 Raymond Weinstein     Apr-18-04 Janowski vs Marshall, 1912     Apr-17-04 Yasser Seirawan
