Eggman: IT took me a few minutes to get this one; an unusual mating pattern at the end.

| | Nov-12-09 Van Essen vs Woskoff, 1931
| |
|
Eggman: <<After 21 ...Qxg4 22 Nxe5+ Ke6 23 Nxg4 f3, it's more or less an even game.>> Genius! Yes, after 24.Rc2 (24.Rd2? fxg2 25.Kxg2 h5) h5 Black's pieces are pretty active (including even his King) and White is beset with pins and weak pawns; I woulnd't be astonished if Black ...

| | Nov-03-09 G Fuster vs P Rethy, 1941
| |
|
Eggman: I had the honour of playing IM Fuster in 1989, when he was in his late 70s. He got into terrible time trouble twice (ahhh, third time controls - those were the days), a habit which I think might explain some of the "bad luck" that plagued his career.

Eggman: Now that Ljubomir Ljubojevic is the player of the day, wouldn't it be nice, as many have requested, to have a picture for this former World Number 3's page?

|
Eggman: <<benjaminpugh>> 60.Rxa5?? Qe1+ and 61...Qxa5.

| | Oct-20-09 B Fiedler vs R Brice, 1995
| |
|
Eggman: This game makes me smile - it's just such a spanking!

|
| | Oct-07-09 P Charbonneau vs P MacIntyre, 2009
| |
|
Eggman: <<Estrick>> Who's talking about playing on in the position? If 34.Be3 is the move that Black is expecting (34.hxg6+ seems simpler to me, but they both win), then just wait a second (or 3 minutes, or whatever) for the move to be played, and *then* resign - that's all I'm ...

| | Oct-05-09 Kasparov vs Stocker, 1985
| |
|
Eggman: What the heck is the Boblingen Open?
If White is indeed Garry then I supsect this must be a simul. The only events that Kasparov played in 1985 were matches: 6 games each against Huebner and Andersson, then the World Championship Match against Karpov, then another 6-game match ...

Eggman: <<Patriot>17.Qh4 h6 18.Bxh6 Qxf6 (18...gxh6 19.Qxh6#) 19.Bg5+ Kg8 20.Bxf6 gxf6 21.Qxf6> As I mentioned above, you must also consider 18...Bxf2, which fails to 19.Bxg7+ Kxg7 20.Qg5+ Kh8 21.Qh6#
