Member since Aug-21-05
I play occasional tournaments and my USCF rating hovers around 2050.

My favorite players are Bird, Reti, and Nimzowitch. My shortest tournament win is 6 moves: 1.d4 f5 2.h3 Nf6 3.g4 fxg4 4.hxg4 Nxg4 5.Qd3 Nf6 6.Rxh7

GreenCastle: Nice king & rook endgame.
 
   Jun-09-08 S Marder vs Hector, 2001 (replies)
 
GreenCastle: Interesting to note that Jonny Hector play the Veresov for White. This 2..e5 business is curious. 4.Nb5 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bc5 6.Bg5! followed by c3 is already better for White.

GreenCastle: Steve's father is Robert Kazmierczak, but I doubt Robert was under 18 years old in 2001. So I'm guessing no.

GreenCastle: http://myespn.go.com/s/conversation... The reaction of most people who don't play chess in this thread is sad. They can't look past Fischer's antisemitism or 9-11 remarks and appreciate what he accomplished for chess and his country.
 
   Jan-17-08 Harikrishna vs Sutovsky, 2005
 
GreenCastle: I've analyzed this and I can't find a significant mistake by either side... truly a thing of beauty :)
 
   Nov-24-07 Rubinstein vs Mieses, 1905 (replies)
 
GreenCastle: 18...Qxc5 loses an exchange to 19.Bc4+ Kh8 20.Bd6 Qb6 21.Bf7 [DIAGRAM] The Re8 cannot escape the fury of White's bishops (..Rd8 Be7)

GreenCastle: <whiteshark: 1. Rh1+ Kb2 2. Ra1! Kxa1 3. Kc2!> Does 1.d5 also work? 1.d5 exd5 2.Kc3 a1=Q+ 3.Kb3 and Black can't stop Rh1+. [DIAGRAM] 1...exd5 2.Kc3 a1=N 3.Rd2 Kc1 is a possible defense, I guess. [DIAGRAM]
 
   Sep-12-07 Alekhine vs J A Seitz, 1925
 
GreenCastle: 22.Rg8+! K moves 23.gxh3 There is no good way to meet the threat of Bxc6. Black will be down a whole rook.
 
   Sep-12-07 Petrosian vs Flohr, 1942 (replies)
 
GreenCastle: <ChessDude33> 5...Nxf2 6.Kxf2 Qh4+ 7.g3
 
   Aug-10-07 J Collins vs Alburt, 1987
 
GreenCastle: Nice tactical endgame.
