celessar: <whatthefat>: Here's a challenge to any composers: create a symmetric game where <Black> wins. :) is this possible?

| | Jan-20-11 Capablanca vs NN, 1918
| |
|
celessar: Interesting.
Does anyone else know any other games like this?

| | Jan-04-11 Somacarana vs Cochrane, 1855
| |
|
celessar: Indeed similar to yesterday's puzzle with the bishop cutting the diagonal freventing the king's, the h file open and both rooks on the back rank ready to pounce.

| | Dec-24-10 Kiril Georgiev vs Lputian, 1985
| |
|
celessar: 35. Re5 seemed like the natural move to me.

| | Dec-23-10 A West vs J Kang, 2005
| |
|
celessar: Is it just me or is 18. d4 completely nonsensical?
|
|
| | Dec-22-10 Z Franco Ocampos vs A Alawieh, 1992
| |
|
celessar: By which I mean, leads to mate in all lines...

| | Dec-11-10 R Fontaine vs NN, 2001
| |
|
celessar: Tim Krabbe writes about this game and others by the mysterious NN at http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/... saying that he thinks NN is Fischer

| | Dec-07-10 C Snap vs D Hughes, 2008
| |
|
celessar: I think this is a rather unremarkable game, chosen only because of the last name of the white player..
|
|
| | Dec-06-10 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1848
| |
|
celessar: How not to play KGA..
4...Bc5 isn't effective after 5. d4, driving back the black bishop and opening White's DSB ...Qh4 is also ineffective... it might seem good but Nf3 attacks while developing the knight
|
|
| | Dec-03-10 A Rustemov vs R Vera, 2002
| |
|
celessar: Wait, ignore my previous post.. 17...Qxg4 can of course be met with 18. f3 allowing the queen to defend the h pawn..
