Jul-15-19 AlphaZero vs Stockfish, 2018    birthtimes: For a similar game, see Khademalsharieh (2468) vs. Kosteniuk (2537) Event: Frauenbundesliga 2018-19 Site: GER Round: 6.2 Date: 01/13/2019 ECO: E18 Score: 1-0      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?! By not doing so, Karpov allows an outside protected passed pawn to be created...      Dec-25-17 Anand vs Karpov, 1994   birthtimes: Karpov in his career playing the Taimanov as Black won 13 games, drew 17 games, and lost only twice.

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!!!
