Jul-22-05		lentil: amazing! i think charousek was reincarnated as Tal

Nov-20-05		Hidden Skillz: probably so and you dont see pins like these too often

Dec-01-07		xeroxmachine: omg, da game totally roks!

Jan-16-09		blacksburg: the position after 18...Bb4 is very picturesque.

Apr-06-09		BraveUlysses: <lentil: amazing! i think charousek was reincarnated as Tal> Looking at his games it is doubtful whether even Tal had the chutzpah of Charousek. So many of his games simply amaze with their sharpness and wit. In this game he has two bishops, a rook and his queen en pris by lesser pieces yet Maroczy can't take any of them!

Apr-06-09		parisattack: This is certainly Tal-like razzle-dazzle! I think there are only two books on his games: Charousek's Games of Chess by Sergeant and Chess Comet Charousek by Charuchin. Perlis - another great the chess world lost too soon - could also play agressive chess, though not quite with the abandon of Charousek. Perlis-Teichmann, Ostend 1907 an example.

Sep-12-09		notyetagm: Maroczy vs Charousek, 1896 This must be the most aggressive game I have ever seen from Black against a World class player (Maroczy). 18 ... d6-b4!! click for larger view <blacksburg: the position after 18...Bb4 is very picturesque.> In-@#$%ing-credible.

Sep-12-09		notyetagm: 18 ... ? click for larger view 18 ... d6-b4!! click for larger view It never ceases to amaze me what you can do on the chess board when you have immense <TACTICAL SKILL>, like Charousek did back then and Carlsen, Aronian, etc. do today.
