Dec-27-17 Korchnoi vs D G Fridman, 2008   birthtimes: So what do the engines say regarding an improvement for Korchnoi here in this highly innovative line?!      Dec-25-17 Robatsch vs Ulf Andersson, 1972    birthtimes: Stunning Queen Sacrifice by Andersson!      Dec-25-17 Smejkal vs Ulf Andersson, 1969   birthtimes: Superb never-say-die fighting spirit here by Andersson, in spite of all the mistakes on both sides.      Dec-25-17 A Dueckstein vs Ulf Andersson, 1969    birthtimes: Dueckstein is DUCK SOUP in this brilliancy by Andersson! Very instructional deflection sacrifices, an obstruction sacrifice, and how to finish the job with two rooks on the 7th aided by the queen herself!      Dec-25-17 Salov vs Karpov, 1994   birthtimes: Why not 42...cxb?!

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"!!!
