| | Jan-10-09 Fischer-Spassky World Championship Match (1972)
| |
|
Zygalski: 29...Bxh2 in game 1 isn't the gross blunder that everyone seems to think it is. It turns a drawn game into... a drawn game. How is that a bad mistake? By the way, on a chess site I use there is Fritz 11 top 3 move match up analysis of all the non-book moves by both players in all ...

| | Nov-11-08 A G Jakobsen vs L Jensen, 2007
| |
|
Zygalski: 5...Bb4 can be annoying to deal with but perhaps slightly better than the routine 6.Bc4 is 6.Qd4!
Then 6...Bxc3+ 7.Qxc3 Nf6 8.Bg5 looks ok for White.

| | Nov-05-08 G Khomeriki vs V Vepkhvishvili, 1979
| |
|
Zygalski: As you say, 10.Be3 is much more usual in this line and also far stronger for White. 10.h3 was the old main line move but has been superseded after analysis from Burgess, Palkovi and Langrock all confirm that the prophylactic move wastes too much time.
After 10.Be3 Bg4 White should ...

| | Oct-02-08 K Landa vs Kasparov, 1988
| |
|
Zygalski: The problem for Kasparov here is that in most lines after 19.Rxc6! Bxc6 20.Bxe5 Black either has to go a piece down, quite possibly lose his queen or suffer defeat via a forced mate: 20...0-0 runs into the winning 21.Qh3 when Black must lose material just to keep from being mated.

|
Zygalski: Dear Nigel,
Now is possibly not the best time to bang-on about the virtues of Capitalism & the free market, seeing as though GWB is looking to Nationalise $7 trillion worth of bad US debt in one of the biggest interventionist U-turns in history. It seems Capitalism is fine, ...

| | Aug-01-08 M Zelic vs M Cebalo, 1995
| |
|
Zygalski: Wonderful attacking play from White.

|
| | Jul-01-08 Mladen Zelic
| |
|
Zygalski: Zelic is playing very well at the moment, virtually certain to increase his highest FIDE rating of 2316.
Must be all those Morra's :)

| | Jun-30-08 M Zelic vs D Brumen, 2008
| |
|
Zygalski: After 19...Be6? it's lights out.
16.Bd5!? looks ludicrous at first glance, but shows powerful positional awareness by Zelic, because after 16...exd5 17.Rfe1 f6 18.Nd6+ Bxd6 19.Qxd6 both the d5-pawn and Ne5 are under threat.
