| Jun-24-06 | | PhilFeeley: I don't quite understand the end of this one. I know white has a good attack, but I can't see how it continues. Black can sac the queen for both rooks and bishop and equalize or even get a slight advantage. Anyone see a better continuation? [Event "XXIV Open"]

I suppose that's possible. I got the game from TWIC's collection, but I have no way of knowing whether the moves were confirmed. Perhaps we should ask Kevin! |

|
| Jul-01-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Kevin Spraggett was probably picked as today's Player of the Day because he is Canadian, while today's it's also Canada Day. |

|
| Jul-15-06 | | PhilFeeley: Kevin is tied for first going into the last two rounds of the Andorra Open. (http://www.feva.ad/Open/ang/home_an...) |
|
Jul-16-06
| | Eggman: Boileau was a strong Quebec master. When I see a game like this, I think: why couldn't he have made such a gift toward some 1600 guy? It's kind of wasted on Spraggett. |
|
| Aug-12-06 | | sharkw: Hi, I'm looking for a game of Spraggett's I seem to recall coming across, but I can't find it anymore. Spraggett was white in a Ruy Lopez against I believe an English GM (the name Conquest comes to mind but that doesn't seem to come up in the databases), and I think Spraggett played one of the slower lines with something like 5. d3. Spraggett ended up winning a very nice endgame with I think two knights dominating bishop and knight. I think the game was played between two and five/six years ago, I seem to recall seeing it in a magazine around then. Can anybody identify or post the game? |
