ellipotrix has kibitzed 30 times to chessgames   [more...]

Feb-08-06 A Vajda vs A Chepurnov, 1924   ellipotrix: He went wrong from the begining IMHO, He cetainly should have castled at some point on the queen side. 9.exf5 was a poor move as it surrenders control of the center 24. kf1 is suicide. I think this isn't a very strong game by Vajda      Feb-03-06 Gligoric vs Hort, 1963    ellipotrix: this was easy because the bishop was in trouble. So most people would ask how do I save my bishop? Can I sacrifice it to gain a positional advantage?      Jan-17-06 Van Wely vs Topalov, 2006    ellipotrix: Topalov has this game in the bag      Dec-22-05 Ivkov vs A Dueckstein, 1967    ellipotrix: i don't know for me this was fairly straight foward in comparison to yesterdays puzzel. Just pin and put the king out of harms way...this was too simple for a Thursday.      Nov-15-05 S Abu Sufian vs C Garma, 2001    ellipotrix: <Makaveli52> of course there is 31. ♕e1 ♖d2! if 32.♔h3 then ♖xg3! 33. ♔h4 ♖h2#; if 32. ♔h1 then ♘xg3! 33. ♔g1 ♘e4! 34. ♔h1 ♘f2! 35. ♔h2 ♘e4! 36. ♔h3 ♖g3! 37. ♔h4 ...      Aug-02-05 Zsuzsa Polgar    ellipotrix: Zsuzsa you are gorgeous..marry me?      Jul-22-05 Tarrasch vs Reti, 1922    ellipotrix: Well that is a splendid surprise mate with a bishop and king. I like your ending as Reti tries to throw the kitchen sink at Tarrasch but misses.      Jul-22-05 Reshevsky vs Gligoric, 1952    ellipotrix: It is unclear to me why black plays 39..a6 instead of 39..fxe3? Does someone know I can see a combination whereby black gets his pawn back. But I must be mising something.      Mar-17-05 I Rogers vs Huebner, 1988    ellipotrix: why was the game continued til Qh1? Intuitively from the poistion given to solve you can see that white has won. I just said rook takes knight that's it. You don't need to say anything more..do you? you know you are attacking the rook with the pawn and you can launch your ...      Nov-23-04 Chess Genius vs Timman, 1997    ellipotrix: No Way <Marco65> that is just soft. Black may play like that to move 45...♕e5 but then white can play 46. ♕d7+ ♖e7 47.♕g4+ then 47..♔h8. white mates with 48. ♖xh6# or 47..♔h7 48. ♕g6. and then its all over bar the shouting.
