Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-28-03  bishop: Colle goes Pawn hunting in the endgame, forgetting to develop and protect his King.
Mar-04-05  misguidedaggression: That open h-file was a killer. And 29...f4 was very nice. Attack the pawn chain at the base!
May-18-07  Whitehat1963: What I love most about the games of the masters is that what seem like automatic moves would be accompanied by instant peril. Notice, for example, something as seemingly innocuous as the supposedly even exchange plus natural-looking developing move 28. Nxg3. Looks like something I'd probably play without a second thought ... only to be shocked by the immediate 28...Rh2# Grandmaster games are full of these potential perils, and they manage to avoide them 99.5 percent of the time at a mere glance. Whereas, I fall for them probably 30-40 percent of the time. And I'm certain I'm not alone.
May-19-07  tonsillolith: No, you're pretty much the only one who does it. My 8-year-old son was watching me play through this game and I stopped after Black's 27th and asked him if he knew why Black was offering the knight and he said, "if white takes it he'll get mated duh!"
May-19-07  tonsillolith: Just kidding. I don't even have any children. I have noticed the same thing. A lot of master games are based on subtle mating attacks even for position gains, when I would probably just consider them explicit attack if I played them.
