A keen chessplayer from Varna,Bulgaria.Had some good results in national junior championships,but now playing just for fun. My favorite player...If I have to give one name,this is Tigran V.Petrosian.Yes he is not so popular,but it's worth studying his games,you'll appreciate his great positional understanding and intuition ,his technique and his ability to explain what's going on on the board in several simple words. In fact there are many other players,that I would also call "favorite".I could divide them in two groups:"elegant positional players":besides Petrosian i would put there Rubinstein,Capablanca and Smyslov and ""dynamic,creative players":Keres,Bronstein,Simagin,Nezmetdinov,Stein(Tal- is rather particular one)

Sep-14-09 NN vs R Vassilev, 2009

stanleys: Perhaps NN could have played 6.Nxe6?! After 6...Bxf2+ 7.Kxf2 Qxd1 8.Nxc7+ Kd8 9.Nc3 Qd4+ 10.Be3,followed by 11.Nxa8 seems playable P.S Analyzing without engine or chessboard,could be totally wrong

Sep-14-09 Kraidman vs Fischer, 1968

stanleys: Bagirov's opinion: Na6 system is not the best one and 14...b6? is quite a risky move

Sep-14-09 S Mariotti vs A N Panchenko, 1978

stanleys: Another suggestion for a daily puzzle.Nice tactical shot from Mariotti to finish the game

Jul-23-09 Petrosian vs Anatoly Bikhovsky, 1968

stanleys: <ArturoRivera:> 30.Qd5+ Ke8 31.Bg6+ seems even stronger to me btw at the closing ceremony Petrosian received a prize for this game.He was really surprised: "I wouldn't have given a prize for such a game!"
