Member since Mar-25-14 · Last seen Oct-19-22

I live in central Quebec.
-I admire players like Jobava, Kholmov, Nezhmetdinov...
-I also enjoy reading Céline and Baudelaire, among so many others.
-Played by Tatiana Nikolayeva, Bach's Partitas are, I suppose, my favorite music recording (although Brüggen's Telemann is worth mentioning)
All my game collections are under permanent construction. Just like the road network around where you live.

My official over-the-board rating is somehow very far from what you first expected, but is, I guarantee you, fully deserved.

Sep-26-18 B de Jong-Muhren vs H Jonkman, 2005

sycophante: GOTD! What a brillant plan!

Jul-31-18 Daniel Freeman

sycophante: Condolences to Mr Freeman's family and close friends. Chessgames.com is a true gift to all chess lovers.

May-31-18 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2018

sycophante: Take two: "Squeeze the Levon" !

May-26-18 S Rosenthal vs Steinitz, 1873

sycophante: Never been a GOTD yet? Such a famous game... I propose "Early Synod"

Mar-20-18 Navara vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2018

sycophante: Not sure what he was threatening with 27...Qf6, for Navara replying Ke1, exposing his King to a check on h4.

Mar-06-18 Lombardy vs Reshevsky, 1956

sycophante: Just came across this tactical shot on chesstempo. Found it in 9 minutes! It must be very hard to find OTB.

Oct-31-17 Mamedyarov vs D Svetushkin, 2017

sycophante: 15.e4 in regards of 15...dxe4? 16.Ndxb5! with double threats : Rxd8 or Nc7 Maybe Black overlooked 22.Nxb5 when he played 20.Ne4? 25.e6! is such a little gem. Everything else is superb too. So much fun. An other game from Grandmaster Mamedyarov to enjoy watching over and over ...

Apr-21-17 L van Vliet vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1907

sycophante: Except for guarding g4, was 15.h3 achieving anything else for White?

Mar-17-17 V Diu vs Wei Yi, 2017

sycophante: Wei Yi losing in 19 moves? With 13...h4 he might have overlooked White's reply 14.f4. White got the excellent f4 and c4 squares for his bishops.

Mar-02-17 Caruana vs Ponomariov, 2014

sycophante: What's the strategic idea behind 12.b3, compared to an immediate g4 push? It looks very counterintuitive to weaken the c3 pawn and the a3 square.
