polarx has kibitzed 88 times to chessgames   [less...]

Sep-09-12 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    polarx: Oh my God...      Aug-11-12 Lutikov vs L Aronson, 1957    polarx: Once: <It would have been pretty silly if we won the black queen but then allowed ourselves to be mated or give away a perp>. That would have made this one a hell of a puzzle. I hope CG.com offers something like that in the future.      Jul-06-12 I Kurnosov vs Carlsen, 2012   polarx: 62...? Black to play. Obviously.      Jul-05-12 A Reshko vs O Kaminsky, 1972    polarx: Forgot about underpromotion again. Third time this week.      Jun-05-12 Robert James Fischer    polarx: Hey <drnooo>, just a side note: your post above just reminded me of a documentary about Kubrick, the film maker.

LOL.      Jun-02-12 S Agdestein vs Nunn, 1985    polarx: I think this puzzle is great.

I think it is pretty clear that Steinitz, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Karpov and Kasparov really cherished the title and ...      May-19-12 Bronstein vs Korchnoi, 1962    polarx: <Jimfromprovidence> I got it. Just because you said something was there. So nice to suddenly see it. Finding this OTB must be awesome.      May-18-12 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1961    polarx: <Runemaster: Botvinnik found openings that Tal didn't combat well, particularly the Caro-Kann as in this game.> Caro-Kann was played 6 times in the 1960 WC Match. 3 draws. Botwinnik won 1 game. Tal won 2 games. Caro-Kann was played 9 times in the 1961 WC Return Match. 5 ...      May-18-12 Barbero vs U Rueetschi, 1987     May-07-12 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     May-06-12 Janosevic vs Geller, 1968     May-06-12 Gelfand vs Shirov, 1998     May-04-12 Gelfand vs Salov, 1996     Apr-25-12 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2012     Apr-13-12 Duras vs E Cohn, 1911     Mar-12-12 P Ricardi vs G Milos, 2001     Mar-02-12 M Shereshevsky vs Kupreichik, 1976     Mar-01-12 Suba vs L M Garcia Lopez, 1994     Feb-17-12 L Shamkovich vs G Lebredo, 1978     Feb-15-12 Judit Polgar vs L B Hansen, 1989     Feb-11-12 Mamedyarov vs N Huschenbeth, 2012     Feb-05-12 Fischer vs S Schweber, 1970     Jan-25-12 Alekhine vs Sik, 1943     Jan-20-12 Rubinstein vs Vidmar, 1918     Jan-20-12 Vidmar vs Euwe, 1929     Jan-17-12 Epishin vs M Carrabeo Garcia, 2002     Jan-14-12 Z Almasi vs Khalifman, 1997     Jan-13-12 Timman vs C Van Wijgerden, 1979     Jan-12-12 J L Hammer vs Carlsen, 2003     Jan-12-12 Botvinnik vs G Stepanov, 1930     Jan-09-12 Graf-Stevenson vs Semmler, 1932     Jan-08-12 Anand vs Illescas Cordoba, 1992     Jan-05-12 P Popovic vs D Rajkovic, 1980     Jan-04-12 K Chernyshov vs A Lesiak, 1969     Jan-02-12 WannaBe chessforum     Dec-30-11 S Bouaziz vs Miles, 1979     Dec-27-11 Blackburne vs Lush, 1885     Dec-25-11 L Shamkovich vs Anguiano, 1978     Dec-24-11 Vasiukov vs P Petran, 1977     Dec-22-11 Kibitzer's Café     Dec-21-11 V Plotkin vs V Drkulec, 2009     Dec-20-11 Larry Evans vs Foguelman, 1960     Dec-19-11 Reti vs K Havasi, 1926     Dec-15-11 M Rubil vs D Feletar, 2010     Dec-11-11 Teichmann vs Schlechter, 1911     Dec-10-11 H Danielsen vs C Hansen, 1997     Dec-08-11 Alekhine vs R L Bornholz, 1929     Dec-04-11 Matulovic vs Unzicker, 1969     Dec-03-11 P Cramling vs H Hunt, 2006     Nov-27-11 I Naumkin vs Rozentalis, 1988     Nov-25-11 Tal vs A Vooremaa, 1979     Nov-19-11 Ding Liren vs Wang Hao, 2011     Nov-18-11 I Jones vs J Dueball, 1974     Nov-17-11 Short vs Anand, 1993     Nov-17-11 Capablanca vs Rather, 1936     Nov-15-11 C Juarez Flores vs H Stevic, 2010     Nov-14-11 Cochrane vs Mohishunder, 1850     Nov-13-11 Tan Zhongyi vs Zhang Xiaowen, 2011     Nov-10-11 J Smeets vs D Brandenburg, 2011     Nov-09-11 D Mastrovasilis vs Short, 2011
