diagonalley Member since Nov-25-09 · Last seen May-24-13 i live with my wife in wiltshire, england... i love the game, but sadly my standard of play is highly erratic! ... (also i get much frowned upon for my allegiance to descriptive notation! - which has always seemed to me to be utterly intuitive)

diagonalley has kibitzed 97 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-23-13 Karpov vs Csom, 1977    diagonalley: managed to get this... must have been an easy one      May-18-13 Staunton vs Von Der Lasa, 1853    diagonalley: good puzzle, but not "very" difficult to solve      May-17-13 Svidler vs Karjakin, 2013    diagonalley: well ... calling this page 'live' chess is pretty much duplicitous, it so often lags far behind the play... come on chessgames.com, you need to do better... (much better)      May-15-13 N Aggelis vs A Heimann, 2012    diagonalley: <various folks> yep, i went Q-K7 too ... which fails (just) DRAT      May-14-13 Anand vs Karjakin, 2013    diagonalley: um... 8 B-Q2 then 11 B-K3 ... looks to me simply like a lost tempo(?!)      May-11-13 J Cori vs N Huschenbeth, 2012    diagonalley: <chrisowen> are you by any chance related to the late (great) professor stanley unwin(?)      May-09-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013    diagonalley: <Robin01> ... i would have played Be3 too      May-08-13 Carlsen vs Topalov, 2013    diagonalley: 14 ... Na5 was a wasted move      May-07-13 J Negro vs Manuelli, 1983    diagonalley: me too! 32. Q-R4      May-05-13 V Buenermann vs K Mokry, 1998    diagonalley: i got 60 ... NxNP as the only reasonable way of breaking the position open ...but it was a leap of faith!
