Mortadulo: " InspiredByMorphy: Im suring Im missing something easy here but after 27. ...Qc8 28.Nf6+ Kf8 what is whites continuation? If 29.Nxd7+ Qxd7" 30. Qh8+ ...Ke7; 31. Rxd7+ wins.

Mortadulo: This was my first time seeing this game... What an interesting series of pawn pushes! To be fair however. Most of the people talking about how poorly Bogo played appear to be commenting on his "poor" moves when he was already in a clearly worse off position. I bet you Bogo was a ...

Mortadulo: I have to admit I was 45 minutes late for work because I was watching this game yesterday. I have not seen Grischuck play with this much vigor in quite some time. Just when I thought he had already reached his peak he comes and throws this gem at us. beautiful game by both ...

Mortadulo: Nice clear cut win here by Samisch after 20...Rab8? All of Blacks pieces began going backwards and White developed with comfort and ease. I have to ask however after looking at the games from Dortmund 1928. Was the Nimzo-Indian really popular in these days against 1. d4 or does it

| |
|
Mortadulo: More of a poor oversight by his opponent than a nice win... However speaking along the lines of Capablanca's winning streak... Nobody will ever again match it in any rankings of the chess world. Anyone saying Capablanca was not the most "ahead of his time" chess player ever has a ...

Mortadulo: Ulhumbrus:
If I am not mistaken this game was played under the time constraints of the olden days where 40 moves were made in one sitting without too much concern with how much that one sitting actually took. I agree with your comments about Reti's moves as they grew towards ...

Mortadulo: This game cements my beliefs that Alekhine is one of the greatest chess heros of all time. I also stumbled across this post by Hidden Skillz which gives interesting insight to his incredible memory... ~~Aug-03-07 Hidden Skillz: found this quite interesting info on chessbase In ...

Mortadulo: I am relatively new to this site so I am sorry I do not know how to get the orange tag copying who commented previously. WannaBe: After 38... Nh3+ 39. Kf1 ... Rc1+ 40. Re1+ (discovery via the Queen) Perulo / Whitehat1963: I believe that this move order was forced... If white plays

|
Mortadulo: 14. Ne5 was indeed an interesting move that gave white clear domination of the D-file however I feel that 35. Rh4!! was the true gem of this game. In his desire to build pressure on the g6 pawn he saves a tempo by first playing Rh4! setting up for the possible sac after 36. hxg6 ...
