profK Member since Aug-18-08 · Last seen May-25-13 Drew with Purdy at 16, Spassky in a 6 man simul some 20 years ago...and defeated the occassional GM touring the southern hemisphere..must resume to correspondence career in a year or two..

profK has kibitzed 462 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-21-13 V Small vs Panno, 1988    profK: Great game by Vernon. Very instructive Rook and Knight configuration to avoid.      May-20-13 J Carow vs I Beradze, 2010   profK: An important line. I think 11.Ng5 is a bit too agressive and traps white's own rook. The retreat may exhibit more discretion...      May-18-13 Prins vs G Fontein, 1938   profK: 6...f5 has got to be better than the exchange.      May-06-13 Saidy vs Stein, 1971   profK: What an implausible KID...Black castles Q side! Only one pawn capture up to move 27!!! You almost have to contrive that !!! GM LS .... you departed so young, what we missed out on, we can only imagine...      May-05-13 N Davies vs J Thinnsen, 1981   profK: 10...O-O was needed first and 12...f5 was all too horrible!!      May-05-13 V Drueke vs W M Purdy, 1996   profK: 17...Bd6 looses the queen. A bad oversight in Correspondence Chess.      May-03-13 P Nikolic vs Van der Wiel, 1976    profK: 10...h5 is a waste of time. 10...Nd4 and black's own early ...b5 looks a lot better.      May-01-13 A Ivanov vs Yusupov, 1978   profK: Why not the obvious 26...Bb2,if 27. Rg1 Kh8 and what has white got ????      Apr-28-13 L Shamkovich vs J I Zilber, 1953   profK: Black's flirtation with putting his queen on the kingside almost gets it trapped whilst allowing white to gain several tempi.      Apr-27-13 Shirov vs Short, 1996   profK: Is 20...0-0 a calculated risk or a blunder? Black probably still has better than what happened after the queen for rook and bishop exchange.
