Sep-22-09 Illescas-Cordoba vs Adams, 1992

|
paladin at large: A very close relative of the Monticelli Trap, first played in 1926 by Mario Monticelli.

|
paladin at large: <jussu><Petrosianic> Euwe's 0+ 8= 2- performance in the match with Capa is worse for Euwe than it looks. Capa only needed draws in games 8 and 10 to win the match and that is what he played for. I doubt if Capa "fell" into the Monticelli trap in game 8, as ...

paladin at large: Wouldn't black have had a good game after 20...Bg4?

| | Jun-08-09 Capablanca vs Verlinsky, 1925
| |
|
paladin at large: <keypusher> I never claimed that Capa's WC win over Lasker proved he was the better player. My point was that none of these various measures which get thrown out from time to time prove anything by themselves (e.g. Lasker finishing ahead of Capa in 4 tournaments, ...

| | May-08-09 L Forgacs vs Maroczy, 1902
| |
|
paladin at large: This kind of razzle-dazzle is not what you think of when Maroczy is mentioned. Does anyone know the context of this game?

| |
|
paladin at large: A wonderful endgame which deserves a revisit.

|
| | May-02-09 Leonhardt vs Rubinstein, 1912
| |
|
paladin at large: A good view of Rubinstein's endgame technique from move 16 on. Leonhardt did not help himself with 23. g4, giving black the hole on f4 for the black knight.
