| Apr-19-04 | | kevin86: Very unusual opening-1..g5 followed by 2...h6.
Fine ending:the semi-quiet move30... ♖xh2 threatens mate at h1-as well as by 31...♖g2 followed by32... ♖h8. |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | gerando: Easy one. With the bishop on b7, the idea is evident. White's play is not very convincing. Maybe 15 f4? |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | MoonlitKnight: <chessfected> Ah, you busted me. Computerish move anyway, though. :) |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | Kenkaku: <BluE DicE, unclewater, alphee> That's because it's true. The week starts with easy puzzles that get progressively harder, culminating in Sunday's, the hardest of the week. |

| Apr-19-04 | | Giancarlo: I hate Monday! Damn new week and the end of a beautiful weekend! |
|
| Apr-19-04 | | wasaka: <f1list> with g3 I think Morrison was trying to prevent the pawn on g4 from advancing a square. If Basman advances this pawn and Morrison takes then he has an open file right next to the king. If Morrison allows Basman to take the pawn on h2 then Basman queens because the king cannot take because of the rook on h8. Of course it turned out to be rather pointless, but I think that was the reasoning. |
|
| Apr-20-04 | | patzer2: Beating IM Basman's Grob reversed is not an easy task. However, Ostojic provided an interesting idea in securing a victory for White with the alternative 3. Nc3, using solid conventional piece development combined with sharp middle and end game tactical play, in P Ostojic vs M Basman, 1981. |
|
| Apr-20-04 | | Resignation Trap: If we are to believe the statistics on http://www.chessgames.com , then 1...g5 should be the move of choice against 1. e4 (Black scores 73.7%). Likewise, against 1. d4, Black should play 1...h6,(61.5% for Black) to be followed by 2...g5. My own results with this Basmania have been very good, against (as they say) "carefully selected opponents". |
|
| Apr-20-04 | | Resignation Trap: Oh, by the way, the player of the White pieces in this game is not the same John Stuart Morrison who was the Chess Champion of Canada in 1910, 1913, 1922, 1924 and 1926. That J. S. Morrison died in 1975. Who is the Morrison of this game? I don't know. |
|
| Apr-20-04 | | Benzol: <Resignation Trap> Thanks for pointing that out because I did wonder whether it was the same player who played in the London Tournament in 1922. I thought if so he would've been playing remarkably well for a player his age! |

| Dec-07-08 | | whiteshark: <Resignation Trap>, <Benzol> According to chesslive.de White was "Morrison,Chris".
Maybe Christopher Morrison ?? [Event "Manchester Benedictine op 4th"]

| Dec-09-08 | | Benzol: <whiteshark> Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Thanks for the info on this one. I assume you've notified the admins. Cheers.

|
| Dec-09-08 | | whiteshark: <Benzol> Yes, I've informed them.
We'll now wait and see what happens. :D |

<Resignation Trap: Oh, by the way, the player of the White pieces in this game is not the same John Stuart Morrison who was the Chess Champion of Canada in 1910, 1913, 1922, 1924 and 1926. That J. S. Morrison died in 1975.
Who is the Morrison of this game? I don't know.> |
|
| Dec-08-11 | | waustad: Their "where do we get the games" link mentions something to the effect that they are aware of these sorts of issues (impossible dates) but don't see much they can do about them. |
|
| Oct-21-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: What if anything is wrong with 12 Be3? The b-pawn looks quite poisoned, and I don't see a Black queen move that creates a double threat. |
|

 | | Penguincw: Looks very close to "Corner Mate", as seen in C Morrison vs M Basman, 1981. FEN given:

Difference is, here it's the opponent's pawn blocking. |

|
| Mar-21-24 | | mel gibson: It's a forced mate in 4. |
|
| Mar-22-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The first idea is: 30...Rxh2 31. Kxh2 Rh8+ 32. Kg1 Rh1#. In case of refusing, 31. Rf8+ Rxf8 32. Nxf8 Rh1#. There is not much W can do. |
