birthtimes has kibitzed 823 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-25-14 Kasparov vs Shirov, 1994    birthtimes: 23...Bh6 subjected this bishop to the status of a relative non-existent worker, as Lasker would say. 23...Bd8 looks like a better place to do some useful work as it covers the b6 square. Rudolf Spielmann also mentions this principle--as well as the importance of a created passed ...      Sep-25-14 L Van Vliet vs Nimzowitsch, 1907    birthtimes: This game is annotated by Nimzowitsch in his book entitled, "Blockade." I suspect he would have played 20...Ne8 if White had played 20.e5!?      Sep-24-14 Nimzowitsch vs A Nilsson, 1924   birthtimes: This game is annotated by Nimzowitsch from moves 33 to 47 in his book entitled, "Blockade"!!! Very instructive annotation!!!      Nov-10-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013    birthtimes: fischer random chess!!!!!!!      Oct-31-13 Karpov vs Zhao Xue, 2013   birthtimes: csmath, it's obvious you do not know that these time controls suit Karpov to a T. Your ignorance is blinding...      Sep-14-13 A Ushenina vs Yifan Hou, 2013    birthtimes: White is positionally stronger after a line such as 8. a3 Bxc3+ 9. bxc3 cxd4 10. cxd5 exd5 11. cxd4 Qa5+ 12. Bd2 Qxd2+ 13. Qxd2 Nxd2 14. Kxd2 Nc6 15. Ne2      Sep-11-13 Ushenina - Hou Women's World Championship (2013)    birthtimes: It would be nice if chessgames would post the time of the players each move so that we don't have to go to some other site to do so...      Jul-30-13 I Nepomniachtchi vs A Moiseenko, 2013    birthtimes: How does a person get to be 2700 and not know how to draw an easy rook and pawn ending??? Black's 63rd move was not a difficult one to make...      Jul-26-13 Geller vs Fischer, 1962    birthtimes: Also 25.Qd3 presents more problems for Black than 25.Qe2. For example, if Black plays 25...Bg5 then 26.Nc6 with a very high probability of Black's queen getting trapped in the middle of the board (via White's Ra5!!!). One line runs 26...h6 27.h4! Bxh4 28.Ra5!      Jul-26-13 Geller vs Fischer, 1962    birthtimes: Geller owned Fischer!!! Geller used Lasker's strategy against Fischer!!!
