Jun-11-24 K J Wicker vs C D Gilliam, 1975
| |
| Cibator: The player of black here is almost certainly Clive D Gilliam , who was active at the time. Played him myself once in 1974 (game drawn) and he used the Pirc then, too. |

|
May-11-24 K Metge vs E Allen, 1980
| |
| Cibator: This seems the best place on the site to announce the passing a week ago of Anton Reid, a mainstay of the Upper Hutt Chess Club for over 60 years. Not the strongest player in NZ, or even in the neighbourhood (as he himself would certainly have confirmed) but my godfathers, one of ... |

Feb-25-23 B Hayden vs NN, 1952
| |
| Cibator: <Sally Simpson: This game is given by Bruce in his book 'Cabbage Heads and Kings' a good chatty read. He says his never had time to get his cigar smoking opponents name as the game was over so quick> Didn't he also say in his notes something to the effect that "White hasn't ... |

Feb-23-23 Miles vs Nunn, 1969 
| |
| Cibator: <Brenin: Miles and Nunn finished in a four-way tie for joint 2nd in this championship, with 8/11, a point behind Clive Cubitt, whose subsequent chess career was rather less spectacular than theirs.> Both players were 14 at the time (born only two days apart, I've just ... |

|
Feb-20-23 Miles vs A Dake, 1973
| |
| Cibator: Breakin' down the walls of Art Dake.
(Pun submitted - look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bl... if it seems too obscure.) |
|
|
|
Feb-14-23 Paul List
| |
| Cibator: Interesting to see that name Odess crop up. I wonder if List-Odess was any blood-relation (however tenuous) to Dr Matthew Odess, whose practice was in Notting Hill, London, and who saw rather an awful lot of a certain Mr Christie. (And whose locum once was Dr Stefan Fazekas .) |

|
Feb-05-23 V Kovalev vs Carlsen, 2022
| |
| Cibator: In 1964 the UK's BBC aired a TV play called Justin Thyme, which was yet another spy-spoof. But there must have been many even earlier examples of fictional characters using that joke-name. Anyone know of any .... anyone ... ? |
|
|
|
Feb-04-23 H Berliner vs H Bullwinkel, 1955
| |
| Cibator: Slightly reminiscent of Anderssen-Morphy (Game 4). By the time White gets his Q to h7, it's only a check instead of mate, and his game's a total ruin. |
|
|
|
Feb-02-23 R Loman vs W Schelfhout, 1913
| |
| Cibator: What you might call panic buying* - Loman sure cleared that Schelfhout double-quick. (Yes, yes - I know the pun doesn't work nearly as well if you use correct Dutch pronunciation.) * Pun submitted |
|
|
|
Jan-30-23 A P Smith vs A Chibnall, 2018
| |
| Cibator: I felt a bit dubious about 19. ... Bxf3. Sure, it breaks up the WPs, but leaving the BQ to deal with an opposing B-pair while lacking any minor-piece support doesn't seem a good idea. |
