Dec-20-10  zev22407: A brilliant win by Browne
Dec-20-10  kingfu: No positional beauty here. Just tactics. I love when players of high caliber just go for it!
Dec-20-10  waustad: Looking at the names of the players being commented on at the moment we have Blackburn, Burn, Byrne and Browne. There is more of a common thread than merely the initial letter going on.
Jan-15-12  King Death: Browne annotated this game in Chess Life & Review but he ran into an improvement soon afterward: Tseshkovsky vs Browne, 1976.
Jan-30-18  andrewjsacks: Strange game.
Jan-30-18  goodevans: Stockfish doesn't like <17.Qd4>. It prefers <17.Rf1 g5 18.Bc1 Rxh2 19.Qd3 f5 20.Bf3 Rh3 21.Be3 Qb5 22.Qd4 Qc5 23.O-O-O> which it reckons is slightly better for white.

Looking at those two passed K-side pawns I think you'd have to be brave to play that line. I'd have chosen 17.Qd4 just like Byrne.

Jan-30-18  The Kings Domain: Good game, white got himself in quite a jam with this one.

Jam. LOL. Good one!

Jan-30-18  Howard: CL&R ran 2-3 letters about this game in which various readers suggested improvements for both sides...

...but then the aforementioned game Tseshkovsky-Browne 1976 (Manila interzonal) seemed to settle the matter once and for all. As CL&R put it, "Browne had to admit that the Soviet demolition squad" had done a thorough job in demolishing his 12...Rh3 novelty.

Jan-30-18  morfishine: I lost track of this game starting with <1.e4>

*****

Jan-30-18  Strelets: <morfishine> That would make two of us. This is crazy even for an English Attack.
Jan-30-18  ajile: <Howard: "Browne had to admit that the Soviet demolition squad" had done a thorough job in demolishing his 12...Rh3 novelty.">

I think you mean 11..Rh3.

Feb-02-18  Howard: Oops ! You're right !

It's nice though when people read the stuff you post rather than just "glance over it".
