Dec-21-09 Gipslis vs M Ulybin, 1988    xKinGKooLx: This was not as easy as normal for Mondays. I spent quite a while looking at sacrifices before seeing that none of them work. Then, I tried just to win material, and saw the move. Nice puzzle.      Jun-01-08 E Mortensen vs L Karlsson, 1988    xKinGKooLx: This puzzle was by no means easy, but I don't think it was <insane.> It just required good chess knowledge, the ability to see the whole board, and seeing ahead skills, which I've been working on. I got the answer after about 15 mins, but only because I checked and double ...      May-30-08 M Hebden vs E Prie, 1984    xKinGKooLx: 4/5. This one was definitely <difficult.> I got it exactly right, but it took me about 15 minutes of thought. It makes up for not getting yesterday's puzzle though.      May-29-08 S Narayanan vs V Ikonnikov, 2006    xKinGKooLx: OK, I didn't get the solution above (damn), but I think that I might have seen something else. 25. ...Qe3 26. Qxe3 Ng3+ 27. hxg3 f4, and White cannot prevent 28. ...Rh6 mate. Or have I just made a massive oversight somewhere? I keep saying my "seeing ahead" skills need ...      May-29-08 Kibitzer's Café    xKinGKooLx: <Phony Benoni: <xKinGKooLx> I think it's a common misconception that short games are boring. They don't last long enough to achieve that distinction.> Yes, it's just that I'm having trouble finding long games that are "boring". Maybe I should add some long games that ...      May-28-08 Janowski vs Schlechter, 1899    xKinGKooLx: 3/3. Wow, what is wrong with me? I DID see the solution in the end, but it took me about 10 minutes to find it! I was staring at the position, and I was thinking to myself, "It can't be THAT hard can it, it's only a Wednesday puzzle!" I was getting rather frustrated, and then I ...      May-23-08 Shabalov vs Kholmov, 1987    xKinGKooLx: Rejected puns: "You dirty Ratmir" "Not too Shab-by" Lol. Anyway, A very nice game. The final move 30. Rc8 was a clever way to get away from the king fork.      May-23-08 Gufeld vs Fedorowicz, 1999    xKinGKooLx: <Chessmensch: The pun is a play on the expression, "I'm at my wits' end."> Ah! Of course! Thanks.      May-23-08 chessgames.com chessforum    xKinGKooLx: I just want to say thank you for the great puzzles of the day you provided today and Thursday, <chessgames.com.> I learnt some useful tactics from them. Keep it up!      May-23-08 Harris vs Weeramantry, 1972    xKinGKooLx: 3.5/5. I got the first move at least... so I'm giving myself half a point, but I STILL NEED to learn to look further ahead - I still find it so hard to do, after many years of playing! This combination was definitely within my boundaries - I might have got it if I had used a ...      May-22-08 Prince Dadian vs Kolisch, 1867     May-21-08 Fischer vs R Shocron, 1959     May-21-08 H Runde vs Morten Jensen, 2003     May-20-08 Robert James Fischer     May-20-08 R Calvo vs Korchnoi, 1966     May-20-08 Anderssen vs Zukertort, 1865     May-19-08 Lagno vs N Malmdin, 2007     May-19-08 Walter Henneberger     May-18-08 Beer     May-18-08 E Epstein vs T Batchimeg, 2008     May-18-08 Odd Lie     Apr-29-08 V Olexa vs M Ujtelky, 1948     Apr-27-08 Fischer vs Andersson, 1970     Apr-27-08 I Ivanov vs Kudrin, 1989     Dec-23-07 Santa Claus     Nov-01-07 Geller vs Furman, 1959     Nov-01-07 Burn vs E Frankenstein, 1871     Oct-15-07 Znosko-Borovsky vs Salwe, 1907     Oct-03-07 B Lyons vs K A Hynes, 1991     Oct-03-07 K V Shantharam vs K Murugan, 1994     Oct-02-07 V Kravchenko vs E Vorobiov, 2000     Sep-23-07 E Varnusz vs J Pogats, 1979     Sep-21-07 Lputian vs Balashov, 1986     Sep-20-07 J Emms vs Tukmakov, 1996     Sep-19-07 Janowski vs Alapin, 1905     Sep-19-07 Szabo vs I Polgar, 1969     Sep-16-07 Tal vs Spassky, 1980     Sep-15-07 T L Petrosian vs A Minasian, 2006     Sep-15-07 M Podgaets vs G Zaichik, 1986     Sep-14-07 H Herndl vs S Skembris, 1987     Sep-13-07 S Bartha vs G Kluger, 1979     Sep-12-07 J N Berger vs J Plachutta, 1866     Sep-12-07 G Piesina vs B Nisman, 1968     Sep-09-07 Edwin Bhend     Sep-09-07 Smitten vs Prince Dadian, 1896     Sep-09-07 V Kovacevic vs Ree, 1980     Sep-08-07 Ghitescu vs Z Ljubisavljevic, 1988     Sep-07-07 Scandinavian (B01)     Sep-07-07 Charousek vs J Wollner, 1895     Sep-07-07 A Rodriguez Cespedes vs I Herrera, 1990     Sep-06-07 Flohr vs A Bannik, 1954     Sep-02-07 Kupreichik vs I Radulov, 1980     Sep-01-07 I Madl vs D Summermatter, 1988     Aug-31-07 O Sick vs S Gorelov, 1989     Aug-30-07 Rybka vs Ehlvest, 2007     Aug-30-07 S Polgar vs Jansa, 1991     Aug-29-07 Blackburne vs Zukertort, 1876     Aug-28-07 Fritz vs E F Pecci, 2001     Aug-28-07 F Riemann vs Anderssen, 1876     Aug-27-07 Thomas T W Pym     Aug-22-07 S Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984     Aug-19-07 B Jonsson vs S Polgar, 1988     Aug-15-07 Turov vs E Postny, 2003     Aug-01-07 Evans Gambit (C51)     Aug-01-07 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav (D10)     Aug-01-07 Caro-Kann, Classical (B19)     Jul-29-07 Tal vs Azmaiparashvili, 1984     Jul-24-07 J Pribyl vs R Hardarson, 2001     Jul-24-07 Smyslov vs Pachman, 1947     Jul-05-07 Spassky vs Short, 2001     Jul-05-07 Grischuk vs J Geller, 2004     Jul-03-07 J Xie vs K Arakhamia-Grant, 1997     Jul-01-07 Chandler vs I Rogers, 1984     Jul-28-06 Jessie Gilbert     Jul-25-06 Uncommon Opening (A00)     Jul-25-06 L Passmoor vs L Warstad, 1999     Jul-10-06 Ruy Lopez, Exchange, Gligoric Variation (C69)     Jul-10-06 Alekhine vs E Linares Jr, 1939     Jul-07-06 Spielmann vs Maroczy, 1931     Jul-07-06 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2003     Jul-06-06 E Williams vs M Wyvill, 1851     Jul-06-06 M Mitso vs T Gelashvili, 2000     Jul-05-06 English, Symmetrical (A35)
