  ahmadov: <LIFE Master AJ> Can you do me a favour and post a notice on my forum when you annotate a game, which is accessable?
Nov-26-07  LIFE Master AJ: Absolutely. (And if I forget, you may remind me.)
Nov-26-07  LIFE Master AJ: If you peruse my chess pages, you will find dozens of annotate games, many are linked to "Chess Games" as the site to replay the game. (And read good analysis and interesting commentary.)

  ahmadov: <LIFE Master AJ> OK, I will explore other pages when I have more time...

Also, I will occasionally remind you about reminding me about your new annotations :)

Dec-04-07  LIFE Master AJ: I look forward to it!
May-02-08  positionalgenius: An awesome attack here,probably the best game from the 2002 olympiad.
Aug-27-08  Katu: Phew! Somany pins, they come every move...
Mar-12-09  BadKnight: Polger must be cheating!!
Mar-12-09  blacksburg: of course she was cheating! look at these moves! 11.Ng5?!?! how could she possibly have found this move without Rybka? she's not even 2700!
Mar-12-09  Jim Bartle: Yeah, but the search might have been a little awkward.
Mar-12-09  blacksburg: <Yeah, but the search might have been a little <<sexy>>.>

fix'd. :)

Mar-13-09  Ladolcevita: Typical Polgar,she starts to attack the opponents without any reason:)

  whiteshark: <14...Ke7> looks like the only playable continuation. --> Svidler vs Anand, 1999
Apr-12-09  Andrijadj: Polgar was cheating...surely...I mean,it is impossible to beat great Mamedyarov without strong computer assistance...But,a great gentleman he is,he did not accused Polgar because she is female,after all...
Oct-10-09  ROADDOG: Polgar pounds Mamedyarov with no mercy in 23 moves. Vid on this great game by Polgar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1S6...

  goldfarbdj: I managed to score 18 on the Guess-the-Move -- I'd have done even better, if I'd found 23 Be7+. I'm looking and looking, and I don't see what white does after 23. ... Nxe7. LIFE Master AJ found it too obvious to put on his site. Can somebody help me please?

  Marmot PFL: <goldfarbdj> Guess just 24 Rxe5 and black will lose Ne6 with check as well - 24...Kxe5 25 Re1+ etc. Good game by Polgar, and I'm sure Mamedyarov has found safer lines to play vs top players.

  goldfarbdj: Now that I look at it again in light of the previous comment, I see that if 24 ... Kxe5 25 Re1+ black loses the knight on e6 with *mate*, not just check. So black has to play 24 ... c6 or Kd7, and white plays 25 Qxe6+ and then 26 Rxc5.
Jun-22-10  LIFE Master AJ: My old site (Geo-Cities) shut down, my page on the analysis of this game has moved. (See below.)

Aug-03-10  LIFE Master AJ: This game is also annotated in the book: "50 Essential Chess Lessons," by FM Steve Giddins. (Game # 3.)
Aug-03-10  LIFE Master AJ: 11.Ng5 was played by Karpov against Korchnoi in one of their World Championship matches. (It was a product of Tal's brain, believe it ... or not.)
Apr-30-11  pkkandel: where is <notyetagm>? he used to call Shakhriyar Mamedyarov "king of tactics" but i dont see even a micro element of that in this game.
May-21-11  Whitehat1963: Remains by far the longest game in the Guess-the-Move database's five hardest games. Obviously a complex masterpiece.
Apr-30-13  offramp: < LIFE Master AJ: 11.Ng5 was played by Karpov against Korchnoi in one of their World Championship matches. (It was a product of Tal's brain, believe it ... or not.)> 11.Ng5 was the brainchild of Zaitsev.
