BabalooMoon has kibitzed 34 times to chessgames   [more...]

Apr-30-11 World Championship Candidates (2011)    BabalooMoon: I think Kazan is 10 hours ahead of MDT and the matches start at 15:00, so 5am I'm afraid.      Apr-30-11 Cochrane vs Staunton, 1842   BabalooMoon: Instead of 19.Kh1 white could have tried 19.Ng4 Qg5 20.Kh2 or 19.Bc4 Qg5 20.Kh1      Feb-06-11 Talal Abbas vs M Abdulaziz, 2001   BabalooMoon: Oh dear, what a bizarre mess. 12.Re5?? is the kind of tragic move I would play. 12.Bd3 would have won immediately. 12.Bd3 Qg4/Qh5 13.Ng5 Qxd1 14.Nxf7+ Kc7 15.Bf4+ Kb6 16.Raxd1 Rg8(Bb4 Re6+)17.Bxh7      Jan-22-11 J Goldfarb vs Rubinstein, 1907   BabalooMoon: The heartlessly objective Fritz believes 11...Ba3+ to be much stronger since after 12.Kb1 Black has the immediate 12...Bxc2+! The White King cannot capture since 13..Nb4+ would lead to a mate in 10 (appparently). This idea lingers and applies on move 13 in the game score also. ...      Oct-17-10 Adams vs Z Almasi, 2004   BabalooMoon: Current link for Short's annotation: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...      Oct-03-10 Kavalek vs Karpov, 1970   BabalooMoon: Here is a link to that Huffington Post annotation http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lubom...      Sep-21-10 Yelena Dembo    BabalooMoon: <cotoi> The game above follows Korchut-Glogowski (2005 email) until Black's 15th move. There are only 37 remaining moves to evaluate. <bartonlaos> <The serious flaw is a lack of proper normal controls> I couldn't agree more, I applaud your efforts.      Jul-12-10 Kamsky vs A Bellaiche, 2010   BabalooMoon: <ChessValley> Ouch, that does look grim! <ounos>'s f6 idea is a much better one than mine.      Jun-26-10 J Corzo vs Capablanca, 1901    BabalooMoon: <thickhead> 14.b4 Bxb4 15.Be3 Bc5 16.Qxc5 fxe3 and Black still seems to have a slight edge. Really don't like this gangster opening, the position after 7...Kxf7 looks like a cat's jumped on the board.      Apr-06-08 Marshall vs Burn, 1907    BabalooMoon: <Amarande> After 12 ...e6 13 Nh4+ Kf6 there is a pretty little mate in 4 14 Qf3! Ke7 (what else is there?) 15 Bxd6+ Kxd6 16 Nxf7+ Ke7 17 Ng6# Had Burn declined the Bishop sac and played 10 ...Kf8 he would have been fine.
