jimx has kibitzed 39 times to chessgames   [more...]

Feb-02-25 Shirov vs D Reinderman, 1999    jimx: According to the comment I left over 10 years ago, it looks like this "easy" Saturday puzzle from 2014 has been promoted to an even easier (relatively speaking) Sunday puzzle in 2025.      Oct-25-24 K Havasi vs Lilienthal, 1931    jimx: Crafty has black at a healthy -1.90 after 1... Kg7 2. Nxc8 -1.68/19 10 Qxd6 3. Rxd6 -1.64/23 5 Bxc8 4. Rd8 -1.64/22 6 Kf7 5. Rh8 -1.59/23 0.3 h6 6. Rxh6 -1.71/22 32 Kg7 7. Rh5 * While I was copying and pasting the above, Crafty has bumped black up to -1.97. I think the idea is that ...      Sep-24-24 A Zatonskih vs E Epstein, 2008    jimx: Since this game's final position is not checkmate, presumably black's loss was due to resignation and I would therefore argue that Epstein did in fact kill herself (metaphorically).      May-05-24 Bird vs Blackburne, 1879    jimx: The "song" from the Peter Sellers film that <offramp> was talking about is probably "Birdie Num Num" by the Aussie/Melbourne band Mr Floppy, released on their album "The Unbearable Lightness of Being a D!ckhead" in 1993 (but first performed live in 1991). Most songs on the album ...      Feb-10-24 G Kluger vs J Szily, 1952    jimx: Kluger is actually cleverer. Literally.      May-12-23 Sliwa vs G Stoltz, 1953    jimx: I CAN READ IT      Apr-27-23 Najdorf vs Denker, 1996   jimx: @Petrosianic - And also like Maxwell Smart, Najdorf was 86 when this game was played.      Jan-22-23 Speelman vs Tal, 1985    jimx: 11..a6 is basically Tal announcing "I have a devastating plan to destroy you in another 10 moves or so, but I need my knight on c6 to do it." And my response would be "Well there is no way I can figure out or even guess what that could possibly be especially in blitz, but you are Tal ...      Oct-06-22 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022    jimx: I think CG typo'd a "B" instead of "Ch" in the GoTD title.      Mar-09-22 Hermann Buehler   jimx: This is Bueler's only game on chessgames.com. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss games like this where the Sausage King of Chicago beat Lasker.
