Jul-21-11 S Williams vs Eljanov, 2011

|
CKT73: So what did we learn? Never deny Simon Williams his coffee, lest ye be crushed mercilessly! God forbid you should try to deny him his cigarettes...

|
CKT73: Nine queen checks in a row, yet to no avail! What a spectacular fighting game!

|
| | Jun-17-11 Larsen vs Quinteros, 1975
| |
|
CKT73: Larsen succeeds marvelously in cramping Black's game. Quinteros must have been quite taken aback by this radical strategy.

|
CKT73: Simon definitely got Boris out of book early. He made the attack look so simple!

| |
|
CKT73: An honorable draw, indeed. How often does a Q+R+R draw against Q+B+N? Larsen's rooks seem totally hemmed in by Ulf's pawns. I love this game!

|
CKT73: What a fantastic endgame tactic! How has this game not been featured as a game of the day? So much to learn from this one.

|
CKT73: I like this game from an aesthetic point of view. I admire the way that the players maneuver and duke it out, without (generally) having the center available.

|
CKT73: Going for a double fianchetto in the first four moves... Brilliant! Seems like it could be very effective in practice, because how many players honestly spend a lot of their energy preparing for such an occurrence?

|
CKT73: Very interesting to watch the jousting knights in the endgame, but where did Szabo go wrong? Any thoughts?
