Feb-28-09		laskereshevsky: This game was played in the New York 1924 int. tournament,....CG have to change the event and the site on the score-sheet...

Mar-31-09		Peligroso Patzer: A very fine game by Janowsky. Alekhine’s comment in the tournament book: “This was the Janowsky of former days.” This game, of course, was the highlight of an otherwise dismal tournament for Janowsky. He placed 11th in a field of 11 with a score of 5.0 - 15.0. Although Alekhine does not comment upon it, so strong was Black’s position by move 38 that there was an alternative winning tactic available (which I find even more aesthetically pleasing than 38. … Rxe3, as played by Janowsky), to wit: 38. … Rxe5 winning a piece, for after 39.fxe5 comes 39. ... Bh4, skewering Queen and Rook with no viable way to avoid 40...Bxe1–+ (40.Qxh4 Qxg2#).

Dec-05-10		RandomVisitor: Perhaps white had a stronger defense: 24.Rxc8 Rxc8 and now a tough tactical situation only a computer can resolve: click for larger view Rybka4 <[+0.39] d=26 25.Rd2> Rd8 26.Qg4 Qc7 27.h3 e5 28.Nf3 Rxd2 29.Nxd2 Qc2 30.Ne4 Kh8 31.Nc3 Bb5 32.Ba1 Bd3 33.Qd1 e4 34.Qxc2 Bxc2 35.Kf1 Kh7 36.Ke1 Kg6 37.Kd2 Bd3 38.g3 Kf5 39.Bb2
