Owl has kibitzed 53 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-05-13 Alekhine vs Feigin, 1937   Owl: Very interesting "wood shifting" Alekhine... the greatest combination player of all time. In chess sometimes a blockade position arise because of the opening the Caro Kahn is the most drawish defense to e4 game. Black is fine all the way up to whites move 44.nxf7 that move I wouldn't ...      Jan-17-13 Harry Nelson Pillsbury   Owl: Pillsbury like Chigorin favored the Knight over the Bishop but I dont think Pillsbury favored the double knights like Chigorin. I think he only favored the old school of single knight is better than single bishop. Does anyone have quotes about his views on knight being better than the ...      Apr-03-12 B Kostic vs Alekhine, 1921    Owl: Probably a blunder on Kostic behalf but dont get the bishop sac in the beginning by Alekhine      Nov-30-11 Alekhine vs Kristofil, 1936    Owl: Why not 29... Bb6      Jun-05-11 Erich Eliskases    Owl: Did Erich Eliskases escape to South America because he was Jewish? He later played in tournament in Israel      Apr-24-09 Alekhine vs G A Thomas, 1936    Owl: 41. Qxg4 does not seem right to me...a queen for knight... annotations might be wrong      Mar-17-09 Alekhine vs B Kostic, 1931    Owl: How does Alekhine win this one?      Mar-15-09 Paul Morphy    Owl: Morphy played in a lot more matches than the New York Match tournament and the London Paris matches. He played matches against a lot of weaker players to in New Orleans. All those matches were against the strongest in Europe. I would like to have a crosstable result of all his matches ...      Mar-03-09 Alekhine vs M Lowcki, 1914    Owl: The only game Alekhine lost in the 1913/1914 St Petersburg chess tournament. Alekhine shared second with Nimozitch here. He could of won the tournament with a draw here. Isnt this game a draw where did Alekhine go wrong      Mar-03-09 Marshall vs Capablanca, 1910    Owl: I don't think Capablanca ever lost a (Capa)Rook -Bishop vs. Rook-Knight endgame. It shows how skilled he was with the Bishop kind like Bobby Fischer
