Dec-24-03 T Needham vs S Polgar, 1981    Alchemist: 22. Qf3 hangs the queen to 22...Bg4!      Dec-21-03 J Schulten vs Kieseritzky, 1850    Alchemist: Excellent puzzle. Those who stopped calculating after they saw the queen king-queen fork must have deprived themselves of this pretty combination. Most of us ( I know I ) saw the g6+ Bf8#, probably amatuer visualization is just a lot more comfortable with this line. But Bg4# is ...      Dec-16-03 Sicilian, Dragon, Yugoslav Attack, 10.castle long (B78)    Alchemist: I doubt that Fischer had such little respect for the dragon, the fianchettoed variations are the sharpest and most aggressive systems of the sicilian.      Dec-16-03 G Minchev vs O Santana, 1987    Alchemist: It doesn't seem very logical to spend 3 moves developing a piece only to have it exchanged for a peice developed in one.      Dec-14-03 Jeremy Silman    Alchemist: The best internet chess service is in my opinion US Chess Live, the official chess server of the USCF. It has a great software interface that allows you to review and analyze your games, plus tournaments and training features. If you are a USCF member you get a free membership, ...      Dec-13-03 Shabalov vs L Basin, 1989    Alchemist: Rxd5! is a great sacrifice that utilizes the true potential of black's queenside minority in the sicilian. There are some amazing variations that arise from it, among the most interesting i found was that if 23... Bxd5 instead of 23... a3, then 24. cxd4 a3 and Fritz 8 gives Rh2 as      Dec-11-03 Sicilian, Accelerated Fianchetto (B34)    Alchemist: There are some tactical tricks for black in the Yugoslav, and some great sacrifices against the queenside castle by opening up the dragon bishop at a critical moment, some pretty solid rook sacrifices for black built into the theory. It's really all going to come down to who is ...      Dec-11-03 A Slimani vs R Aoudia, 2000    Alchemist: Excellent tactical adaptation of the common smothered mate pattern, employing the discovered check to win the queen. It is interesting here also how black makes use of the f1-a6 diagonal to prevent Kf1 (Kf1 Ba6+ Rd2 Qf2#)      Dec-11-03 J Garcia Elio vs G Szamoskozi, 2001    Alchemist: Move order can be fatal.      Dec-08-03 Serafino Dubois    Alchemist: How is it exactly that this man's play spans 133 years? I think that the games from 1973+ may not be genuine.      Dec-06-03 R Hartoch vs H Hecht, 1972     Dec-05-03 A Yusupov vs Karpov, 1993     Dec-04-03 Spielmann vs B Hoenlinger, 1929     Dec-02-03 Van der Wiel vs Hort, 1981     Dec-02-03 J Silman vs C Lakdawala, 1989     Dec-02-03 Csom vs Korchnoi, 1965     Dec-02-03 G Stoltz vs A Nimzowitsch, 1928     Dec-01-03 Schlechter vs W John, 1905     Nov-30-03 C Guimard vs Euwe, 1946     Nov-30-03 Kavalek vs Karpov, 1970     Nov-28-03 Polugaevsky vs Ftacnik, 1982     Nov-22-03 King's Indian, Makagonov System (5.h3) (E71)     Nov-22-03 Uhlmann vs H Liebert, 1976     Nov-21-03 Hort vs C Maier, 1987    Nov-16-03 X3D Fritz vs Kasparov, 2003     Nov-13-03 Serper vs D Ippolito, 2003     Nov-13-03 Kasparov vs X3D Fritz, 2003     Nov-12-03 P Leonhardt vs H Fahrni, 1911     Nov-11-03 L Christiansen vs Karpov, 1993     Nov-10-03 P Pflichthofer vs C Flear, 1991     Nov-06-03 Karpov vs Shirov, 2003     Nov-05-03 J Polgar vs M Rivas Pastor, 1993     Nov-05-03 Kibitzer's Café     Nov-05-03 N Grigoriev vs Alekhine, 1915     Nov-03-03 I A Horowitz vs NN, 1940     Nov-02-03 Blackburne vs NN, 1863     Oct-27-03 S P Johnston vs Marshall, 1899     Oct-25-03 Denker vs H Avram, 1940     Oct-24-03 Korody vs Bologh, 1933     Oct-24-03 Spielmann vs R L'hermet, 1927     Oct-18-03 Portisch vs A Matanovic, 1968     Oct-18-03 Euwe vs S van Mindeno, 1927     Oct-17-03 C Golmayo vs S Loyd, 1867     Oct-17-03 Kolenbet vs B Schipkov, 1987     Oct-17-03 J Polgar vs Karpov, 2003     Oct-12-03 Short vs F Prol, 2001     Oct-11-03 I Penko vs Jernej Novak, 2001     Oct-11-03 Kamsky vs Kramnik, 1994     Oct-11-03 B R vs A Wagner, 1902     Oct-11-03 N Cortlever vs Euwe, 1941    Oct-11-03 Tal vs Gheorghiu, 1979     Oct-11-03 J Shahade vs P Wang, 2002     Oct-11-03 K Kopetzky vs I Engert, 1942     Sep-29-03 A Cheron vs M Polikier, 1927     Sep-27-03 Vandette vs B Wall, 1976    Sep-27-03 Gomez Fernandez vs Ildefonso, 1990     Sep-27-03 Biegler vs Peperle, 1952     Aug-20-03 B Enklaar vs Timman, 1972     Aug-19-03 Alexandra Kosteniuk     Aug-19-03 Sicilian, Dragon Variation (B70)     Aug-19-03 King's Indian Defense (E60)     Aug-19-03 Dutch (A80)     Aug-16-03 J Thomason vs Fischer, 1955     Aug-15-03 Nimzo-Indian (E20)     Aug-15-03 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Aug-05-03 Van Wely vs P Acs, 2002     Jul-05-03 N Shaposhnikov vs Alekhine, 1908     Jul-05-03 K Georgiev vs Kasparov, 1995     Jul-05-03 G Mahia vs Quinteros, 1980
