dorsnikov Member since Dec-05-06 · Last seen May-23-13 my favorite players are Mieses and Nimzovitch. I like the chess era of the Victorian and later Edwardian Period of the years before WWI. My rating ranges between 1350 and 1450.

Feb-24-13 David Gedult    dorsnikov: David Lonsdale from Canada has a great monograph out on the Gedault/Hammerslag opening. I,ve used it successfully against a strong player. Dorsnikov      Jul-01-11 E J Diemer vs K Locher, 1948   dorsnikov: Diemer is one of the most "unsung" combinational players of his time. This guy would have given Morphy, Mieses and Blackburn a run for their money.      Jul-25-10 C Bloodgood vs R W Christy, 1957    dorsnikov: If you go back to the Chess Opening Explorer screen percentage bars, you will notice that white wins most games by a wide margin. therefore The Grob can really be an effective opening. i've even had victories with the Grob (Borg Defense) reversed! Michael Basman and Gerard Welling      Mar-07-10 Hugh Edward Myers    dorsnikov: hello Arthurp, I see you're looking for a copy of Myer's A Chess Explorer. Click on Chess House out of print books. I believe they have it. I'm honored to say I own 3 pieces of correspondence with Myer's signiture on each.      Feb-27-10 Anderssen vs Mackenzie, 1878    dorsnikov: i have used Anderssen's opening with success transposing into a French Defense as white with a move to the good.      Aug-17-09 Andre Lilienthal    dorsnikov: just to give you an idea how old this guy is...he played Jacques Mieses, born 1865 and Emmanual Lasker born 1869!! and he's still living!! fantastic !!      Aug-14-09 Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1928    dorsnikov: if black plays 3. ...P-e4. what do you think is a better reply...? 4. p-f3 or 4. p-f4? with blacks pawns locked up in the center it deprives his pieces of center occupation. yes ??...no?? very interested in other opinions.      Dec-10-08 Rubinstein vs Spielmann, 1907    dorsnikov: Hi ANYI, just went over your website on Rubinstein. Absolutely fascinating. I loved it. you're to be commended for the amount of research you put into it.      Nov-28-08 Stefano Rosselli del Turco    dorsnikov: that photo IS NOT Rosseli Del Turko. it's Akiba Rubinstein in the 1930's. Dorsnikov      Aug-10-08 Sergio Mariotti    dorsnikov: as an italian american i couldn't be more proud of Mariotti. he plays chess in the spirit of Bronstein who said chess should be played for the love of the game and not points or standings.
