Cactus has kibitzed 845 times to chessgames   [more...]

Apr-01-09 M Apicella vs C Debray, 2009    Cactus: Why the resignation? 51...Qxg6 52.hxg6 Kf8      Mar-22-09 Dzindzichashvili vs Ljoki, 1991   Cactus: This is a copy of Dzindzichashvili vs M Leski, 1991      Feb-08-09 Svidler vs Harikrishna, 2009    Cactus: Very well played by a Ruy expert.      Feb-01-09 keypusher chessforum    Cactus: I was on the Capablanca-Alekhine World Championship Match (1927) page and you gave a link to some 'who loses the least' numbers. I clicked on it, and instead of what I expected, it was a link to my own forum! I am confused....      Feb-01-09 Igor Penko    Cactus: I Penko vs J Novak, 2001 is the game of the century.      Jan-30-09 Catalan, Open, 5.Nf3 (E04)   Cactus: A bit of a late responce, but you can always play for the advantage with Qa4+ after ...dxc4.

White simply plays a tempo-down version of the 6.Bxb5 lines.      Jan-26-09 Magnus Carlsen    Cactus: It's amazing the lack of criticism Carlsen is getting for his +0 -0 =8 record. Just goes to show you the double standard.      Jan-25-09 A Ostapenko vs Yartsev, 1969    Cactus: <An Englishmen> In Karpov's immortal, he offered to sacrifice the exchange three or four times, but Topalov didn't accept them. I doubt what you discribed is true, simply because underpromotion and exchange sacs are so rare in the endgame, but as you said, it would make a ...      Jan-23-09 Wang Yue vs Adams, 2009    Cactus: I don't know if the TMB is a risk, it might be the safest defence there is to 1.d4. Yue plays too quietly and loses the initiative.
