Jul-19-09 W Adams vs S Bernstein, 1936
| |
|
Jesspatrick: The maneuver 10.Bb5-a4-b3 achieved nothing and practically let Black equalize. Other 10th moves should be considered here. 10.Be2 10.g4!? but 10.a3 with the idea of Bc4-a2 is met stopped with 10...Na5 Now, I speculate that Adams sensed that he'd let his opponent back into the ...

| | May-07-09 C Brasket vs Saidy, 1976
| |
|
Jesspatrick: This is a great example of the stunning combinations that Brasket was capabable of. White's 25th move nailed Saidy to his chair for the rest of the game.

Jesspatrick: Ralph Zimmer is an FM, and an ex cop. He was a detective. Not sure what he does now. Private investigation?

|
Jesspatrick: If White plays 26.Rxg7, there's no decent way to refuse the sacrifice. The rook is hot, but it's not quite toxic 26...Kxg7 27.Bh6+ Kh8 28.Ng4 Qg6 and White has compensation. It's very hard to find a decisive continuation, and it would take courage to go into that line. Sometimes

| |
|
Jesspatrick: The shot that Black missed would make a great Wednesday puzzle. 22...Qh1+ is correct. After 23.Kh2 Rxf2+ Black wins in all variations. 24.Kxf2 Qh2+ wins White's Queen. 24.Kd3 Qe4+ 25.Rxe4 dxe4+ and White can resign. Instead, Black played 23...Qh5+ and the game slipped into a ...

Jesspatrick: I bet little Sammy stormed out of the room after this one!

| | Sep-21-08 Niall Whelan vs P Corbin, 2007
| |
|
Jesspatrick: This position is not resignable. White can continue with 8.Bg4 and the light squared Bishop can eventually go to h3 where it controls important squares. The pair of Bishops and the time spent snatching the Pawn leave a middle game where both players have chances. Now, White ...
