Feb-01-07 Panno vs H Bravo Sedamanos, 1975 
| |
|
mitsuo: In the defense of <chessmoron>, if he is still under verbal attack, I also found the solution leading to the backrank mate, and I can assure everyone that my rating is far below the 2000 level. If I am able to find this, despite taking a fair chunk of time, then I would not be ...

| | Aug-25-06 J Smith vs G H Derrickson, 1860
| |
|
mitsuo: <Kinghunt72> Ack! You're probably right. After 11. Bxf7, black cannot count on gaining material compensation for his rook, which was the basis of ...Kd7. Analysis is welcome, of course, and if it's excessive, all the better! It'll fill the holes in mine! In anycase, thanks for ...

| |
|
mitsuo: <al wazir> if 24...Rc2, what happens after 25. Bc6+? Black would lose at least the exchange. Unless there's something I'm missing here...

| |
|
mitsuo: Thanks again <Mating Net>. I didn't realize how badly white's position is held in static after the exchanges on f3. Thanks for the pointers.

mitsuo: It's stuff like this that makes me wonder what the heck I've been doing in the last few years of my life.

| | Mar-04-06 I Onat vs N Gavrilakis, 1984
| |
|
mitsuo: Man, I'm mad at myself. I saw ...Ba6, but failed to see 44... Bf1, which was pretty much the entire point of ...Ba6. I thought that after the pieces came down to a bishop and knight, it would be a drawn endgame (Bishop doesn't cover h1 queening square). Today will not be a good ...

| | Feb-26-06 Nimzowitsch vs J W Baird, 1905
| |
|
mitsuo: For anyone else interested in Nimzowitsch's works, there is a more modernized version of "My System" out there titled 'Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy', by John Watson. The unique quality in both books are that they go over middlegame strategy. Most chess books deal with the ...
