Kenkaku: "Chess is only a game, and not to be classed with science or the arts." I am perhaps alone in my agreement with Lasker's assessment.

| | Nov-06-06 Pillsbury vs Marshall, 1904
| |
|
Kenkaku: One of Pillsbury's final triumps. Very smooth sacrifical attack which nets a queen, quickly followed by the finishing mate.

|
| | Nov-06-06 Pillsbury vs Schlechter, 1904
| |
|
Kenkaku: I believe this is what is sometimes referred to as "war over the board"...

| | Oct-28-06 Tal vs Andreopoulas, 1988
| |
|
Kenkaku: If exf5 then Nd5.

| | Aug-25-06 J C Halpern vs Pillsbury, 1893
| |
|
Kenkaku: Very straightforward counterattack. I often play this general Sicilian system as black when white plays passively (non-d4 systems).

| |
|
Kenkaku: 23. b4! Quite a move.

|
| | Jul-28-06 Pillsbury vs Tarrasch, 1898
| |
|
Kenkaku: Honza: Two pawns up? I only count one. But I'm sure your information is correct as to why he drew here.

|
| | Jul-25-06 N Kosintseva vs Hoang Xuan Thanh Khiet, 2004
| |
|
Kenkaku: An absolute crush of 6. e5?! in the Sozin. Reminds me of when I played this move as a novice against GM Kaidanov in a simul and was decimated in the same fashion. Highly aggressive continuation from Nadja, I like the Ng5/Qh5 couplet.
