Kibitzer's Corner
May-09-11  310metaltrader: Someone annotate this game!
May-09-11  Marmot PFL: Complicated game with mistakes by both sides as would be expected in rapid play. Black, a pawn up, could have defended with 37...Ng6-f4 38 Rxf4 Nxf4 39 Rxf4 Rxd6 40 Nxd6 Rxd6 and kept the pawn, but white's Q and R are so active that he should draw easily.
May-11-11  IRONCASTLEVINAY: Nice game
May-11-11  haydn20: For what it's worth I ran this thru Fritz 12's game analysis and here are highlights. (Thanks for pointing out this game. I'll come back to it after I finish grading finals.)

11...h6 and 13. Bb3 led to draws in other games. 26. c4 may be better than the game; after 26...f4 the game is dead equal. 29...Rxd3; 30. Nh5 Nde5 may be better. Maybe Black should try 31...Qxb3 when 32. h4 Qe6 is equal. 36...Rf6? [36...Nef4; 37. Rxf4 Nxf4; 38. Rxf4 Qxb3 is roughly equal.] 37. h5? [should play Ne4 first]; 37...Ne7?? [see <Marmot_PFL>.] Now Black is totally lost.

May-12-11  bronkenstein: BTW the game was 5´+2´´ blitz ,not rapid ... and the last 10 or so moves were made on increment only , therefore the blunderfest :)
May-31-11  ReikiMaster: 25.c4 also looks good for white. 31.Ng5 h6 32.Nf3 looks interesting.
Jun-27-11  pawnexpress: Beautiful ending!
