Nov-08-09 O Quinones vs Smyslov, 1964   wwall: 15.Nd4 may be weak. Perhaps 15.O-O instead. Perhaps 21.exf7+ (instead of 21 Rxd4) Rxf7 22.Rxd4 Ra1+ 23.Rd1 may be OK for White if Black plays 23...Rxd1+ 24.Kxd1. Black may play 23...Qa7 24.Kd2 Qa5+ 23.Qxd1 Qe5+ 24.Qe2 Qxb2 25.O-O Qd4+ 26.Kh1 and Black may survive. 24.Kc1?? may be the      Nov-07-09 Karpov vs Budakov, 1961   wwall: After 16...Nb6, perhaps 17.Bh6 (instead of 17.Be3) Re8 18.Rc1 and 19.a4 is better. Instead of 19.Bd3, perhaps 19.dxe5 Nxe5 20.Nd4 Instead of 20.Re2, perhaps 20.dxe5 dxe5 21.Be2 or 21.a4. Or 20.dxe5 Nxe5 21.Nxe5 dxe5 22.Qf3. Another idea is 20.Bh6 Re8 21.d5 and 22.Qd2. Instead of ...      Oct-25-09 Euwe vs Smyslov, 1948    wwall: Yanofsky reported on this event for Chess Review. In the April, 1948 issue, page 16, he wrote that "Botvinnik takes some sort of pills during the game. Can they be vitamins?" Botvinnik was the only player to bring his own medical doctor.      Oct-25-09 Keres vs Reshevsky, 1948    wwall: After 21...Nf4, not 22.Bxf4 exf4 23.Qxf4? Bg5, pinning the Queen and Rook and winning the exchange. Also, 22.Bxf4 exf4 23.Qf3 Ne5 24.Qe2 f3.      Oct-25-09 Reshevsky vs Smyslov, 1948   wwall: After 32...g5 33.Rc6 draws. Perhaps White could try 33.h3 or 33.Bd1 if he was trying to play for a win.      Oct-25-09 Reshevsky vs Euwe, 1948   wwall: Perhaps Black should try 28...f5 (instead of 28...a5) or 29...f5 (instead of 29...h5) 34...gxh5?? is probably the losing move. Perhaps 34...Qf6 and if 35.Qxa5, then 35...Qxb2 After 35.Qg5+ perhaps 35...Kf8 36.Qxh5 Qd7 37.Qh8+ Ke7.      Oct-25-09 Botvinnik vs Reshevsky, 1948   wwall: After 29.gxf5, instead of 29...Qxf5, perhaps 29...Bxd4 30.fxe6 Bxf2+ 31.Rxf2 Nxf2 Instead of 30...Qxh3, perhaps 30...Qxe4 31.Rxe4 Nxa3 32.Ne7+ Bxe7 33.Rxe7 Nb5 If 30.Qxc4?? instead of 30.Qxe4, then 30...Bxf2+ and 31...Rxc4 31...Rcc6?? is the losing move. Perhaps 31...Rac6 or 31...b5, ...      Oct-24-09 Reshevsky vs Keres, 1948    wwall: After 35.h5, perhaps better is 35...gxh5 36.Nd5 Nxd5 37.cxd5 Be5. After 38.Bxc5, it looks like 38...Bd4 and 38...Qxc5 loses. 39...Bd4?? looks like the losing move. Perhaps 39...Bf8 (or 39...Rd8) and 40...Qe7 may be better.      Jun-21-09 E Canal vs E Paoli, 1965    wwall: Perhaps 18...Nxb5 was the losing move. Better may be 18...Nc6 or 18...Nd7, but White still has 19.Rf1 If 19...Qe8, then 20.Rxh6+ Kg8 (20...gxh6 21.Qxh6+ Kg8 22.Rf3 e5 23.Rg3+ Kf7 24.f5 Rg8 25.Qh7+ Kf8 26.Rxg8 mate) 21.Qh7+ Kf7 22.Nf3 (threatening 23.Ng5 fxg5 24.Qxg7 mate) Bd8 23.axb5.      Jun-20-09 Simagin vs Sokolsky, 1966   wwall: After 35.d5! Black has no good choices. 35...Rf7 and White can play 33...Qb5 looks like the losing ove. Perhaps best for Black is 33...Qe7. White can now play 34.Bf5 If 34...Rg8 35.d5 Qc5 36.Bxg7+ Rxg7 37.Qxc5 bxc5 38.Rf8+ Rg8 39.Rxg8+ Kxg8 40.dxc6 Nxc6 41.Bxc6 wins as White is a ...
