Kibitzer's Corner
May-29-07  Dr. Siggy: A remarkable example of Winter's chess talents, both as a (fine) strategist and a (poor) tactician!...
Aug-21-07  Dr. Siggy: Another example of the same kind and with the same opening is the following game (strangely missing in this database...):

Winter vs Tartakower, Warsaw 1935: - 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. g3 O-O 6. Bg2 Nbd7 7. Nge2 e5 8. O-O (8. d5!) a5 9. d5! Nc5 10. h3 Ne8 (10... b6: <Capablanca vs Bogoljubov, Karlsbad 1929> ) 11. Be3 f5 12. exf5! gxf5 13. f4! b6 14. a3 Kh8 (14... e4 15. Nd4 : Fine) 15. b4 Nb7 16. fxe5?! (16. Dd2! ) dxe5 17. c5 axb4? (17... f4!=) 18. axb4 Rxa1 19. Qxa1 bxc5 20. bxc5 Qe7 21. Qa7 (also 21. Da8!? ) f4 22. d6 Qd8? (22... Qe6 ) 23. gxf4 exf4 24. Bxf4 (24. Rxf4! ) cxd6 25. Bxb7 Qe7 26. cxd6 Qxb7 27. Qxb7 Bxb7 28. Bg3 Rxf1+ 29. Kxf1 Nf6 and... 1/2-1/2, in spite of White's pawn plus and clearly better ending!...

Jul-30-09  Aspirador: Computers prove Alekhine wrong: 24.Rf1 gave white a good position, 24...hxg4 25.fxg4 Be3+ 26.Kh1 Nxg4 27.Nd1!

A real mistake was 24.Rd1? since that takes the important d1-square away from the knight.

  plang: 5..Nc6 was a new move; 5..0-0 and 5..Nbd7 are the main lines. Bogoljubov didn't seem particularly comfortable playing the Kings Indian and was being outplayed until the positional blunder 22 f3? gave him an opportunity for a suddencounterattack on the kingside dark squares.

  moronovich: 5..Nc6 indicates who was the stronger playe of the two.
