Oct-28-10 Wahltuch vs Capablanca, 1922
| |
|
SpiritedReposte: Just meaning his "simple" moves are not at all obvious to weaker players including me. His pawn sac in the rook ending against tartakower, the Fonaroff game where every move is natural then bang hes mated or loses a piece. It looks so easy, yet it takes great vision for it ...

SpiritedReposte: $1000! Thats awesome! I've gotten 5 bucks before. Weeks of wages for some thought of this guy played out on a board and that was in the 70's. How much does a brilliancy prize pull these days?

SpiritedReposte: Yea that Tal guy was an OK player I've heard. He won like an open tournament once or something, real dry,boring, positional style...lol whats your point?

| |
|
SpiritedReposte: Yep, safe to say every single GM (shoot even expert and a little below) have very good positional knowledge. Very hard to improve more when you reach that level. Now as for Tal, (one of the greatest of all time!) I bet he could play any type of position blindfolded standing ...

SpiritedReposte: Very nice. Mating with his last rook and bishop just like Morphy! I would definately call this game a sacrificial onslaught.

|
SpiritedReposte: And I thought Capa's game vs Tartakower was a model rook ending. Can someone prove a forced win for Black after Kasp equalizes material with decoy/fork tactic? The diagram above by <Fusilli> certainly seems like a draw to my patzer analysis. Can't Fritz just ring up ...

SpiritedReposte: What an upset! 150 pts at this or any level is lots.

SpiritedReposte: <Kazzak> Yea thats a crushing defeat by White. Ironically the next day lol. Personally I think Naka's win is better though, biased of course I love the KID.
