woody b has kibitzed 31 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-10-15 S Neubronner vs So, 2005    woody b: i don't think b4 was decisive. yes, it is the mistake that allows the finishing mate, but the position is already hopeless. black controls virtually all the black squares around white's king. so imho giving up the bishop pair with 17. Bxe5 was the blunder.      Feb-27-15 W John vs Janowski, 1914    woody b: easiest friday ever! got it right to the end      Feb-19-15 E Inarkiev vs Nepomniachtchi, 2015   woody b: is 36. ..Nxf3 a better chance to draw?      Sep-19-14 J Votava vs A Zatonskih, 2004    woody b: I didn't spend too much time with it and went for 17. .. Rxe2 18. Bxg4 Re1+ 19. Kg2 Be4+ 20. Kh3 Nf2+ 21. Kh4 g5+ 22. Kxg5 and now I thought b can win back the q with Ne4! alas, this move is illegal! apart from a few more holes in the line, like the rook hanging on e1 and ...      Aug-20-14 A Dimitrijevic vs M Sebag, 2004    woody b: @raviarun 20. ..Qg3 21. Bf3 Be5 22. Rf1 ...Qxg5 wins a whole rook (and we're still 2 pawns up), because the Qc5 and Rf1 are hanging. so no need for forcing continuation. but congrats for your line, i didn't even see the continuation after Qg3      Mar-26-14 R Nezhmetdinov vs N Krogius, 1965    woody b: for me far easier than yesterday!      Jan-29-14 Wilke vs A H Privonitz, 1933    woody b: like many of you, i had quite a hard time to find a way to get the rook into play. i saw the fork on e3 soon enough, but it took me long to see that Re3 threatens Rh3 and mate! glad i got it after all      Jan-23-14 Ivkov vs Lengyel, 1964    woody b: quite easy for a thursday, got it fast.      Nov-12-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013    woody b: <condition> william lombardy was bobby's second in reykjavik      Oct-17-13 Nakamura vs Seirawan, 2012    woody b: <independentthinker> i guess you refer to the line 29. Nxc4 dxc4 30. Nxe7 Qxe7 (Nxe7 31. Rd6!) 31. Rd7! Qe6 (Qxd7 32. e6+; 31. ... Qe8 32. e6+ Kg8 or Kh6 and white will win after 33. Rxf7) 32. Rad1 which was also my ...
