Nov-27-24 Vlastimil Stulik    BickeDag: Is this guy still alive? Surely not but at 103 He would have to be one of the few living people to have played against Alekhine. He beat Opocensky, Bobotsov, and Hromadka and had decent results in the 1950s, probably around IM strength.      Mar-11-24 Harmonist / B Lasker / Lochte vs Caro / Schallopp / Simonson, 1887   BickeDag: Who is Simonson? It's not Albert Simonson as he was born in 1914      Feb-08-24 S Grigoriants vs E Romanov, 2012   BickeDag: How did black overlook that his bishop was hanging on move 25?      Oct-07-22 Bird vs Lasker, 1899    BickeDag: You can't afford to mess around in this variation of the Scotch. for instance, 7... h6 should be marked with ?? because after 8. e5 Nd5 9. Qg4, black is lost.      Aug-16-22 Velimirovic vs D Rajkovic, 1971    BickeDag: Games like this are always satisfying. People who put too much trust into their engines will never be able to appreciate the move 10. h4!!, and many others like it will be overlooked in their games.      Jun-15-22 Karpov vs A Zaitsev, 1970    BickeDag: The 21... Nf6+ line leads to a draw by perpetual checking at the end. There is no forced win for black.      Oct-30-21 Carlsen vs S Nyysti, 2002   BickeDag: 4. a3 may look strange but playing 5. Nxe5 actually shows deep understanding of the typical Halloween Gambit lines. In the usual lines after: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5?! Nxe5 5. d4 Ng6. white is practically losing by force and has very questionable compensation. ...      Sep-23-21 Harm Pals    BickeDag: Another delightful Dutch name.      Jul-04-21 Tarrasch vs Yates, 1910    BickeDag: Funny how Tarrasch thought Yates was a bad player. He may have been mediocre in 1910, but won this game and later on he finished higher than Tarrasch in most of the tournaments they both attended. Perhaps this tournament was what motivated Yates to improve faster.      Jul-04-21 Yates vs Alekhine, 1924    BickeDag: <kbob> It's true. As it happens, this is the second game in the tournament book. With both the chess blindness in the opening analysis as well as allowing the unplayed 30. Nh4!!, I feel like I should be looking very carefully at each move (which isn't a bad thing for ...      Jul-02-21 Shulman vs J Hellsten, 1996    May-19-21 Lenderman vs J Bellon Lopez, 2010    May-04-21 Semmering (1926)     Mar-25-21 B Suhle vs Anderssen, 1859    Mar-16-21 V Lyublinsky vs Keres, 1949    Jan-04-21 Gunsberg vs W Gunston, 1890    Dec-29-20 K Grigoryan vs S H Moosavian, 2012    Dec-19-20 S B Hansen vs M Richter, 2011    Jul-15-20 J Blackburn vs M Goodger, 2002     Jul-05-20 Tarrasch vs von Scheve, 1879     Oct-15-19 Albin Reif     Sep-07-19 Alekhine vs F Ureta, 1927    Aug-29-19 K Akbaev vs M Al Sayed, 2013    May-19-19 Z Rahman vs I Rausis, 2001    Apr-24-19 Shabalov vs R Keep, 2005    Apr-11-19 Carlsen vs G Cella, 2014    Apr-11-19 Paulsen vs Morphy, 1857     Apr-05-19 K Spraggett vs Short, 2014    Mar-31-19 A Lein vs Benjamin, 1986    Mar-27-19 Ganguly vs A Ismagambetov, 2006     Mar-17-19 R Mamedov vs N Mamedov, 2013    Mar-17-19 M Mankinen vs J Gronemann, 1999     Mar-17-19 Smyslov vs Sax, 1979    Feb-14-19 J Polgar vs F Berkes, 2003     Jan-21-19 0     Jan-14-19 Stockfish vs AlphaZero, 2018    Jan-07-19 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935     Dec-31-18 H Wang vs Mamedyarov, 2011    Dec-31-18 L Aptekar vs O Sarapu, 1980    Dec-19-18 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006     Dec-17-18 Cochrane vs Moheschunder, 1855
