offramp: <sanyas: He lost two brilliancies in the same tournament! Very lucky... or not.> Try saying Mattison without saying Mmmm...

| | Feb-08-10 Anderssen vs B Suhle, 1860 
| |
|
offramp: Suhle doesn't sound a lot like soleil, does it? I have never heard it pronounced.
|
|
| | Feb-04-10 Spassky vs Korchnoi, 1977
| |
|
offramp: The position at move 50 is drawn. 51.Rc8+ looks reasonable.
But white tried for more by playing 51.h7??
[DIAGRAM]
but black took the pawn! Because if NxR then ...d2 wins. The game was over - a shattering loss!

| | Feb-04-10 Spassky vs Korchnoi, 1977
| |
|
offramp: I love the move 8...dxc5 in this game. It looks like madness, but it gives white loads of possibilities.
|
|
| | Feb-04-10 K Aseev vs De Vreugt, 2001
| |
|
offramp: If 72...d4 73.Kc6 wins.

|
| | Jan-30-10 W So vs A Giri, 2010
| |
|
offramp: Giri followed that great piece of advice (Soltis #105): If you attack the opponent's pieces 10 times in a row, he will blunder something on move 11.

| | Jan-26-10 Kamsky vs Anand, 1994
| |
|
offramp: <Whitehat1963: Another excellent candidate for the Guess-the-Move database.> For which move? Let me guess.... 15.Rfe1+
|
|
| | Jan-24-10 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1991
| |
|
offramp: Short was Ljubo's bęte noire for a long long time.
|
|
| | Jan-21-10 Tiviakov vs T Roussel Roozmon, 2009
| |
|
offramp: A traditional Stoke-Adams Attack. I'm an Octal. Can you spell the name? Can you spell the name for me?
|
|
| | Jan-21-10 Kasparov vs Rashkovsky, 1979
| |
|
offramp: White gives away ˝ his house to get a draw - was the black side of the Poisoned Pawn so strong in those days? One of the problems for white is that after ...Qa3 the black queen is in a good position to make various tactical threats, for example ...Qc5+ at various points.
