| Mar-22-06 | | RiceMiester: Here are some of my friend Larry (S. Tamarkin's)games. <cg.com> gonna put 'em up? 1) Bauer,Andy (1683) - Tamarkin,Larry (2103) [B06]
Queens CC Jamaica (1), 07.10.2005
1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.g3 d6 4.Bg2 Nc6 5.c3 e5 6.d5 6 Ne2 seems to be the most popular move in this position, though 6 dxe5 is also tried now and then. 6...Nce7 7.Ne2 f5 8.Nd2 Nh6 9.0-0 0-0 10.exf5 gxf5 11.Nf3 Qe8 12.Ng5 Qg6 13.h4 Ng4 14.Qb3 Kh8 15.Ne6 Bxe6 16.dxe6 White's e6 pawn stands alone in a very rough neighborhood. 16...Rab8 17.Qc4 c6 18.f3 Nf6 19.Qd3 Ne8 20.f4 Allowing Black a protected passer, but White was in big trouble either way. 20...e4 21.Qe3 c5 22.Kh2 h5 23.Ng1 Qxe6 24.Qe2 Nf6 25.Nh3 Ng4+ 26.Kh1 Bh6 27.Ng5 Bxg5 28.fxg5 Ng6 29.b3 Qe5 30.Bh3 Qxg3 31.Bxg4 fxg4 32.Rf6 Qxh4+ 33.Kg1 Qg3+ 34.Kh1 Rxf6 35.gxf6 Qf3+ 36.Qxf3 exf3 37.Bg5 Re8 38.Rd1 Re6 39.Kg1 g3 40.Rf1 f2+ 41.Kg2 Re1 42.c4 Rxf1 43.Kxf1 Kg8 44.a3 Kf7 45.Kg2 h4 46.b4 h3+ 47.Kf1 h2 48.Kg2 h1Q+ 0-1
28) Tamarkin,Larry (2103) - Frumkin,Ed (2000) [B07]
Queens CC Jamaica (2), 10.2005
1.d4 d6 2.e4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Bg5 Bg7 5.Be2 c5 6.d5 h6 6.. 0-0, 6.. Qa5, and 6.. Nbd7 are the only options I could find. 7.Be3 0-0 8.Qd2 Kh7 9.h3 a6 10.a4 Qa5 11.Ra2 e6 12.Nf3 exd5 13.exd5 Re8 14.g4 Nbd7 15.g5 Ng8 16.h4 h5 17.Kd1 Ne7 18.Ne4 Qxd2+ 19.Nfxd2 Nxd5 20.Nxd6 Fritz thinks Black has a very slight edge in the final position. 1/2-1/2
43) Arluck,William (2019) - Tamarkin,Larry (2103) [B06]
Queens CC Jamaica (3), 21.10.2005
1.d4 g6 2.e4 Bg7 3.f4 d6 4.Nf3 a6 5.Bc4 b5 5.. e6 is all I found here. 6.Bb3 c6 7.0-0 Nf6 8.e5 Nd5 9.Nc3 9 a4 is Fritz's choice. 9...Nxc3 10.bxc3 d5 11.Qe1 Bf5 12.h3 h5 13.a4 Nd7 14.axb5 axb5 15.Ba3 Nf8 16.Qh4 Rc8 17.Bb4 f6 [17...Ne6 18.Ra7 Rc7 offers more resistance.] 18.Ra7 Nd7 19.Re1 19 Ba5! 19...0-0 20.e6 Nb6 21.Bxe7 Qe8 22.Bxf8 Kxf8 23.e7+ Kg8 24.g4 hxg4 25.hxg4 Bd7 26.g5 f5 27.Ne5 b4 28.Rb7 Bxe5 29.Rxe5 Na8 30.Qh6 Nc7 31.c4 1-0 |

| Mar-22-06 | | RiceMiester: I have here games of Larry Tamarkin, Frumkin, and Arluck. Good right? |
|
| Mar-22-06 | | Chersnick: Dont forget Larrys bio either... Manager of the Marshall at one time. Chess coach. TD. He is now in trouble at the Marshall, so you could put that up too... |
|
| May-03-06 | | NeilCohen: I beat Larry in a blitz match +20 =4 -5 at his home |
|
| Jan-29-12 | | wordfunph: from Michael de la Maza's book Rapid Chess Improvement.. <The only time that you should leave the game is if you absolutely must go to the restroom. In these cases follow National Master Larry Tamarkin's rule: 'Tamarkin's rule about returning from the bathroom: sit down, take a stress pill and think things over!' This is particularly true if you are thinking of doing something bold, such as sacrificing a queen for mate.> ♔♕♖ |

 | | perfidious: Dang, the most serious games I ever played was ~185, the year after. Ten were outside the USA and a few others were in then-non-sanctioned Vuhmont. |

| | perfidious: <FSR>, does that mean that we are home free if we make it through summer 2025? |
|
Oct-26-21
| | FSR: <perfidious> Yup! Then we start shooting for at least 81, the next perfect square. Or preferably the one after that. |
|
Oct-26-21
| | FSR: <perfidious> I'm not sure how this 64 thing works. It may only apply to strong players. With any luck, we're too weak to be at elevated risk of dying at 64. Here's hoping. |
|
| Oct-26-21 | | JohnBoy: <FSR> - I’m sure you can get a comparable list of masters who died at 71. Or 67. |
|
Oct-27-21
| | FSR: <JohnBoy> Ya think? |
|
Dec-26-21
| | louispaulsen88888888: I’m too old for 64. I’ll go for 81 or 100. |
|
Dec-27-21
| | louispaulsen88888888: Or a world record 121! |
|
May-02-22
| | louispaulsen88888888: Levenfish and Sveshnikov died at 71. |
