mcgee has kibitzed 137 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-25-13 Miles vs Short, 1980   mcgee: 'I've swindled him once before. Maybe I'll do it again!' (Miles, BBC Master Game final v Short 1980-1. He didn't.)      Mar-23-13 Stein vs Korchnoi, 1964    mcgee: 'I failed to qualify for the (1964) Interzonal Tournament. I remember a brilliant game that Stein won against me. This talented man left this world without reaching the age of forty. Nowadays players don't attack like that -they prefer to sacrifice the other side's pieces, not their ...      Aug-28-12 Adorjan vs E Lobron, 1981   mcgee: I am convinced Lobron says a rude word on that original broadcast when he curses his position from the opening (it escaped my tender ears when I saw the final first time round in 1982). On which note I think 16 Bxc5, giving up a developed piece for an undeveloped one, can't be right. ...      Apr-14-12 Korchnoi vs L Lengyel, 1965    mcgee: Here's Huebner missing the clean sweep at Oslo nine years later - although he never really looked like winning this game G Sigurjonsson vs Huebner, 1974      Mar-27-12 Gligoric vs Spassky, 1964   mcgee: surely simple development for White with 8 Be3 cannot be bad?      Mar-10-12 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1914    mcgee: >>In my opinion, this game represents chess at it's best - a struggle between two human minds - brilliant but also flawed - and the player who understands the human element of the game taking the victory.<< I agree. Like the 3rd game of Fischer-Spassky 1972 and the 16th ...      Mar-09-12 A H Williams vs Karpov, 1974    mcgee: Very impressive by Karpov. I don't know if 9 Bd3 is played a lot but I think White needs to get Qd1-c2 in at an early stage of the Leningrad Variation. It's less committal; White looks as if he has a lot of problems once the bishops get shunted out of the action. A good Spassky game I      Dec-29-11 Kasparov vs Short, 2011   mcgee: and just like the famous Karpov v Miles game from the European championship in 1980, White refrains from asking Black immediate questions with 3 a2-a4. This I think is the best move...      Dec-28-11 M Stean vs Schmid, 1979   mcgee: The Korchnoi win: Smyslov vs Korchnoi, 1952      Dec-28-11 Smyslov vs Korchnoi, 1952    mcgee: 'An excellent move! As a rule, a young player has no idea that one can begin a game in this way!' (My Best Games, Vol 2: Games With Black, Viktor Korchnoi, 2003)
