wladimirsky has kibitzed 40 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-20-11 A Kolev vs J Polgar, 1993    wladimirsky: Easy money. Motif: White king has a weak pawn cover. White pieces uncoordinated. White knight could hang. Black pieces can become active, e.g., Q to a3, Nb4, Bf5. B is active on long diagonal. 23...Rxa1 suggests itself, and: A. 24.Bxa1 leads to forced mate after 24...Qa3+. ...      Jan-17-11 Jurez vs Gasloi, 1968    wladimirsky: 16...Qxg3! Took me more than 30 seconds. Nice to see a Monday which requires looking more than 2 moves ahead.      Oct-13-10 M Illescas vs J Bellon Lopez, 1992    wladimirsky: White to play. 23. ? Material is equal but White has the much more active pieces. Rooks attack semi-open files. The f-Rook is particularly dangerous, threatening the Bishop through an X-ray. The Bd5 is magnificently placed. The Bb6 is not attacking anything at the moment, but ...      Sep-22-10 Eliskases vs B Wexler, 1960    wladimirsky: Black has several advantages: + Outside queenside passed pawn. If all pieces were exchanged, the win would be elementary on account of this + White's pawns are very week, 4 pawn islands for White + White king could be in trouble given lack of space Therefore, Black can win ...      Sep-14-10 B Larsen vs B Ostenstad, 1985    wladimirsky: I saw 41.c5 of course but after 41...Bf3 I thought 42.cb was simpler, getting two connected passers. I guess both 42.cd and 42.cb are good enough. Any documented opinion as to which is better? 42.cd must be, since Larsen played it...      Sep-07-10 F Vallejo Pons vs A Nunez, 1992    wladimirsky: "Paco" is Spanish short form for "Francisco". It is not a nickname, just a short form. Such as "John" can be of "Johnathan" or "Dick" can be of "Richard".      Sep-01-10 Landa vs M Leon Hoyos, 2008    wladimirsky: 30...Bxc4 wins the exchange since the rook is trapped      Aug-31-10 M Narciso Dublan vs Kryvoruchko, 2008    wladimirsky: 80...Qxf4+ of course my horse      Aug-27-10 Ftacnik vs A Aleksandrov, 2008    wladimirsky: <fischer2009: i prefer Rc4 Nc4 d2!! i wonder y nobody mentions dis> After 30...d2 31.Ke2      Aug-26-10 Eliskases vs Fischer, 1960    wladimirsky: See what I mean.
