Aug-27-04		Whitehat1963: What was D decisive factor here, Samuel?

Nov-13-04		tamar: The (Ng6-h8!-f7-h6-g4) and the (Bg4-e6-f7-g6-h7) do a little dance to put maximum pressure on e4. Then 42...f5 comes at a time when it is not possible to play 43 e5 Bxe5! 44 fxe5 Nxe5 45 Ke3 f4+!

Nov-14-04		Calli: <Tamar> What do you think of 43 e5 Bxe5! 44 Ng3

Nov-15-04		tamar: <What do you think of 43 e5 Bxe5! 44 Ng3> 44 Ng3 makes sense, to try to limit the damage and counter-attack on h5. I have to admit, I thought instantly about refuting it with 44...Bb8 45 Nxh5 Ne5+ picking up the g1 bishop, but that is a very unsound idea Shredder is telling me as the e pawn becomes a monster after the exchanges. What would you recommend for Black after 44 Ng3?

Nov-15-04		tamar: <calli>if 43 e5 Bxe5! 44 Ng3! Bf6 45 Nxh5 Bxh4 46 Re6 Rg6 47 Rxg6 Bxg6 48 Ng3 Ne5+! White can try various ways to avoid this tactic, but it seems to come in anyway. If instead 46 Rd1 Rf7 47 Nf1 Bg6 48 Nhg3 Ne5+! 49 fxe5 f4 50 Nf5 Bxf5 51 Bh2 Bg4+

Jul-15-07		Karpova: A fantastic game which must have pleased Capablanca as Rubinstein carried out his plan and the whole attack with regard to the endgame. After 52.Kxf1 click for larger view White is left with a DSB but pawns on white squares at a4, b3 and c4. Only one pawn is on a dark square - the poor fellow on h4 blocked by a black pawn on a white square so that he cannot be attacked by white's bishop!. All that is left to do for black is to go for the b3-pawn. Nice finesse: 60...Ke5! is even more precise than 60...Kc5
