boringplayer: A good example of trading advantages. White finally achieves the good knight vs bishop position, but trades it away to create a K-side weakness that causes no end of difficulties for black.

|
boringplayer: A nice game, with a pleasant combo. I think Furman was Spassky's coach for some years.

| | Sep-07-09 H Mueller vs O Bernstein, 1934 
| |
|
boringplayer: Jason Frost, moving the rook to the h-file allows the K to cross the e-file after ..Nf4+. I don't think the knight gets away, but giving it up for a pawn leaves R+3 pawns for 2 knights, still winning.

| |
|
boringplayer: I had a roommate who was fond of saying that the only 100% guaranteed way to lose was to resign. He played every game all the way out. I, on the other hand, was fond of giving it up when the end seemed clear and unavoidable. Personal preference.

|
boringplayer: "When i have white, I win because I have white. When I have black, I win because I am Bogoljubov."

| |
|
boringplayer: I believe just capturing with 48. hg4 also wins.

| | Dec-26-08 Epishin vs Gheorghiu, 1993 
| |
|
boringplayer: Al Wazir, I too pondered 28...Bg5, but think that after
29.Nd7, 29...Qd7 is ok. If 30. Nf5+, then 30...Qf5

| | Dec-17-08 P Charbonneau vs H A Hussein Al-Ali, 2008 
| |
|
boringplayer: So what happens after
14.Kd1 Qf5
15.Bd6 Qg6
16.Qg6 fg6
17.Bd8 Kd8
18.Ne6 ? What am I missing here?

boringplayer: OMG! This is wicked funny. I had never seen it before, and just had to play it over again tonight. What a great job by Kmoch!

| |
|
boringplayer: hi folks,
after 29.Bc6 bc6, i liked
30. Bf4. if 30...Be5, then
31.Be5 Qe5
32.Qd8+ Kg7 and 33.e7. if instead
31....Qe7
32.Qd7 Bf8
33.Bd6 looks winning. This seem right?
