May-10-13 P Carlsten vs M Karttunen, 2002   erasmus: <BipolarFanatic> 17. e5 was already the decisive mistake, as after Ne8 the threat of 18. ...d4 cannot be averted anymore.      Sep-06-11 Rubinstein vs E Tholfsen, 1928    erasmus: Does anybody have some interesting background information about this game? Rubinstein missed two tactical blows in this game and was mopped up pretty convinvingly. Was Tholfsen (already) a well known player at the time?      May-21-10 Kasparov vs Kamsky, 1989    erasmus: There is a stronger continuation that Kasparov missed here.

Bf2+ wins the queen for the bishop and the rook and after Rf2 the same might happen or black will get a ...      Jun-02-08 Hans Arild Runde    erasmus: <frogbert> You are right. ÎâÎÄèª 0-1 ²·ÏéÖ¾(¿ì) does read like Wu Wenjin - Bu Xiangzhi 0-1 (Rapid). ¿ì (pronounced kuai) means 'fast' or 'quick'. So it looks like FIDE made a mistake.      Jun-01-08 Lutikov vs Taimanov, 1969    erasmus: In Taimanov's book it says that the rook went to e1 on move 35. The rook is also on e1 in the diagram a few moves later with a comment after 36...Bg2! (a great move by the way :-) ) "A study-like idea of deflection -- it is impossible to take the bishop with the king due to the loss      Jan-20-08 Corus (2008)    erasmus: <from chessdom> 15:00 CET We have just received a call from Silvio Danailov. He confirmed that the decision is against FIDE laws. The game might continue even today if the organizing commettee decides.      Dec-12-07 Levon Aronian    erasmus: <slomarko> http://www.ugra-chess.ru/eng/interv...      Nov-29-07 World Chess Cup (2007)    erasmus: <Tvangeste> Sometimes it is nice to be wrong then. ;-)      Nov-22-07 World Blitz Cup (2007)    erasmus: http://www.russiachess.org/games/bl...      Mar-09-07 Diwakar Prasad Singh     Feb-18-07 Leko vs Morozevich, 2000     Jan-24-07 Anand vs Van Wely, 2007     Dec-24-06 Santa Claus     Sep-03-06 J B vs C Craig, 1857     Aug-16-06 H G Matchett vs Keene, 1965     Jul-21-06 E Varshavsky vs E Najer, 2006     Jul-01-06 Morozevich vs P Nikolic, 2000     Jul-01-06 OhioChessFan chessforum     Jun-13-06 Arianne Caoili     Jun-13-06 Daniel Gormally     May-31-06 H Smith vs T Hagesaether, 2006    May-29-06 37th Chess Olympiad (2006)     May-25-06 R Fontaine vs W Schroeder, 2001    May-24-06 Vladimir Kramnik     May-21-06 Wang Pin     May-17-06 Veselin Topalov     May-17-06 MTel Masters (2006)     May-17-06 Colin Pace     May-17-06 Yury Piskov     May-17-06 Odd Lie     May-16-06 Kramnik-Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     May-15-06 Kibitzer's Café     May-15-06 Jan Cervenka     May-12-06 Kamsky vs Bacrot, 2006     May-12-06 Svidler vs Ponomariov, 2006     May-11-06 Bacrot vs Anand, 2006     May-09-06 Napoleon Bonaparte     May-04-06 City of Moscow     May-03-06 Radjabov vs Karjakin, 2005    May-02-06 Van Wely-Carlsen Match (2006)     May-01-06 Russian Club Cup (2006)     Apr-16-06 M Makropoulou vs N E Menzi, 2006    Apr-03-06 Yifan Hou     Apr-02-06 Zlatko Topalovic     Oct-05-05 FIDE World Championship Tournament (2005)     Jun-26-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005     Apr-09-05 Szabo vs B Benediktsson, 1968     Mar-26-05 Scotch Game (C45)     Mar-13-05 M Foudzi-Ahmad vs H Shafruddin, 2001     Mar-12-05 Y Dembo vs R Csolig, 1999    Mar-12-05 K Zimak vs J Sobek, 1992    Mar-12-05 W C Arnold vs M L Hanauer, 1936     Mar-12-05 V Kovalenko vs Beimanov, 1990     Mar-03-05 Kasparov vs Leko, 2005     Feb-23-05 XXII Torneo Ciudad de Linares (2005)     Feb-22-05 E Dekker vs J L Switzar, 1874     Feb-20-05 E J Diemer vs Samuli, 1950     Feb-16-05 C Bloodgood vs Taylor, 1973     Feb-07-05 J Armas vs T Hartung, 1988     Feb-07-05 Corus Chess Tournament (2005)     Jan-23-05 Christian Sender     Jan-22-05 Svidler vs Van Wely, 2005     Jan-12-05 W Elm vs Steffens, 1934     Jan-12-05 Shredder vs T Halay, 2005     Dec-29-04 John Van der Wiel     Dec-21-04 P Leeuw vs G Bendana Guerrero, 2003    Dec-21-04 S Nikolaev vs M Lanzani, 1989    Dec-20-04 Giuoco Piano (C54)     Dec-19-04 Budapest Gambit (A52)     Dec-17-04 S M Iglesias vs L Carrera-Casado, 2001     Dec-17-04 Petrov Defense (C42)     Dec-12-04 S Vokralova vs Jancik, 1970     Dec-12-04 H Tiemann vs J Roscher, 1989     Dec-12-04 C Prada vs E Machuca, 1991     Dec-04-04 Botvinnik vs MK V computer S S, 1982     Dec-03-04 Chessmaster US Championships 2005 (2004)     Dec-03-04 N Tolstikh vs E Sazonova, 2001     Nov-30-04 D Meybohm vs Grosch, 1988     Nov-27-04 G Kourtesis vs Kotronias, 1989     Nov-27-04 Schenk vs E Rindlisbacher, 1990     Nov-27-04 A Schmitt vs Pribyl, 1990     Nov-27-04 I Farago vs Jansa, 1994     Nov-27-04 I Farago vs V Bliumberg, 1994     Nov-25-04 Russian Championships 2004 (2004)
