Sep-29-11 Lilienthal vs Nezhmetdinov, 1951

fanofchess82: Fantastic game. What a grand advertisement for chess beauty. I am lost for words. A beautiful invasion via the h-file and a fantastic mate. The minor pieces occupy crucial outposts and co-ordinate brilliantly. The opening has some beautiful knight manuevres by Black. Black ...

| |
|
fanofchess82: Rubinstein the master. Never tire of Rubinstein's rook moves or Capa's bishops or Philidor's pawns. This is the way they played chess and brought out the beauty of the game. Great show. Todays puzzle was relatively easier for a Thursday. The move presents itself immediately ...

| | Sep-21-11 Kasparov vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2011
| |
|
fanofchess82: Philidor would have smiled at Kasparov's beautiful pawn manuevres. The pawns just roll and the knight hops mysteriously while Black looks on helplessly. What a beautiful finish to the game. White's pawns are simply too good, the real soul of this beautiful game. Always chained ...

|
fanofchess82: Very easy for a Wednesday position. Spotted it inside 30 seconds. Simple deflection theme for a mate or material gain. Rxa3 just deflects the two pieces guarding the last rank. But I dont understand why White played Rb4 with such a vulnerable back rank.

| |
|
fanofchess82: A very good game. If 23....hxg5 then 24. Qg6 wins. If 23.... any other move then 24. Qh7 #. A very good move. Took some time to figure it out today.

| |
|
fanofchess82: A beautiful game by Polgar. King's Gambit in 2010 - Guess the opening choice in itself would have befuddled Topalov. I have used KGA in many tournaments and it works like a charm as a psychological weapon. If you are comfortable with razor sharp positions where on slip can ...
