zugzwangdragon has kibitzed 10 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-20-05 Vyzmanavin vs V S Zhidkov, 1985    zugzwangdragon: I thought Bf5 was an instant killer, but Black did have many defensive resources. Hoo hoo hoo, so exciting.      Nov-06-04 B Mate vs G Horvath, 2001    zugzwangdragon: Way to smash the Exchange Variation wimp!      Nov-05-04 Csom vs L Seres, 1999    zugzwangdragon: Csom was a versatile player, for sure. He can attack like this, and he has held up to Karpov positionally (not an easy task). I think after 30. h5, Black was busted. Note that Black cannot win a pawn and create a passer by 30. ...exd4 31. hxg6 Qxc5?? because White has a ...      Nov-05-04 M Hancas vs E Reicher, 1987    zugzwangdragon: White was doing somewhat okay until 7. b4??. Unfortunately, White obviously was basing his play around this self-destructive move. He must have intended to dislodge the c6 knight and have a spiffy attack, but Black happily obliges with 7. ...Nxd4!. White's in trouble at this ...      Nov-01-04 A Dueckstein vs Euwe, 1958    zugzwangdragon: This is an example of how deadly the white side of the poisoned pawn Najdorf can be if White is a good attacker. This variation is played frequently at low levels with a different result because White cannot utilize his fearsome advantage.      Nov-01-04 C Mayet vs Harrwitz, 1848    zugzwangdragon: I'm surprised this isn't a Bill Wall game.      Oct-15-04 Kupreichik vs Korchnoi, 1970    zugzwangdragon: Wow...I've seen a lot of French Advances in my day, but this is incredibly unorthodox. Black seemed to waste too much time in the opening. Korchnoi's opening moves all had a plan behind them, but they seem uncoordinated. Regardless of the opening, however, I think 13. ...      Oct-15-04 L Vizantiadis vs Pachman, 1967    zugzwangdragon: 23. ♕xf2 would have held on longer, but White would still be cooked by Black's attack.      Oct-14-04 Alekhine vs C de Montmartre, 1925    zugzwangdragon: It's very possible that Alekhine was under heavy influence of mind-altering drugs during this game.      Oct-14-04 Simon Kim Williams    zugzwangdragon: I'm very grateful to this fellow for writing the book "Play the Classical Dutch." I've been pitying my 1. d4, 1. c4, and 1. ♘f3-playing opponents since.
