Jul-17-11		russep: Nice game by Shoker

Jul-17-11		luzhin: White had to play 23.Qg7 with the idea that after 23...Na3+ 24.Kxb2 Ke7 then 25.e5! really does work (viz. 25...dxe5 26.Nxe5 Qe8 27.Re1! winning). In that line Black's best is 24...Rc8 as in the game but then 25.Qxh8+ Ke7 26.Qxf6+ Kxf6 27.Rxd6+ Qxd6 28.Rxd6+ should be good enough for White).

Jul-17-11		wordfunph: Shocker by Shoker! winning with black against monster GM Areshchenko!

Jul-18-11		policarpo: sensacional, grande jogo do egípcio.

Jul-18-11		DrMAL: Difficult to believe Areshchenko missed an easy win with 23.Qg7 making a move instead (23.e5) that already probably loses and then on the very next move (24.exf6) steps into a forced mate! Not a good day LOL.

Jul-18-11		kia0708: having 200 points less and playing with Black, that's something

Jul-18-11		hedgeh0g: I was listening to some analysis on this game and it transpired that White missed/dismissed a number of promising continuations. 15.Nc4!? is an interesting try. After 15...Qxc4 16.Be2 Qxf2 17.Nxd6+ Ke7 18.Bc4! White has a promising attack for the piece. Another possibility was to play 17.Nf3, pursuing an attack on the vulnerable Black king. It seemed to me attack was called for rather than defense from White... Black's position after 11 moves looked incredibly precarious. To convert that to a win in 17 moves against such a strong opponent is hard to believe.

Jul-21-11		DrMAL: <hedgeh0g Black's position after 11 moves looked incredibly precarious.> 12.Bxb5 wins a pawn with 12...Bb7. If 12...cxb5 13.Ndxb5 Qc5 (13...Qb6 14.O-O-O Rb8 15.Rhe1 Kd8 16.Rxd6 + -) 14.O-O-O Ke7 15.Nxd6 Rb8 16.e5 Nxe5 17.Qg7 + -

Jul-26-11		DiscoJew: Huge upset by black in a mating attack against 2700 opposition. This is something, I reckon its a bad idea to denigrate the game down to a risky race-mating attack, rather than a cool positional squeeze. I've lost these too as white vs far weaker opposition, they are just too risky; there is the added element of nerves. Great game by the "Shocker", blacks attack flowed nicely.

Jul-27-11		computer chess guy: As noted earlier 23. e5? was premature, but kudos to Black for finding 23. .. c8! - this is the only move that gives Black advantage.
