Deefstes has kibitzed 40 times to chessgames   [less...]

Sep-29-11 Lilienthal vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1951    Deefstes: It's when I look through a game like this when I realise how little I really understand of chess. 1. Rule of thumb: Don't move a piece twice until all your pieces have been developed. Yet, black starts an elaborate dance with his Knights from move 9 while his Queenside Bishop and ...      Jan-24-07 J Kristiansen vs B Jacobsen, 1976    Deefstes: There's something about a smothered mate that I just always find aesthetically pleasing.      Nov-10-06 London vs Edinburgh CC, 1824    Deefstes: Was 48.Qg2 a blunder? It seem to me that it sets up the exchange that ends in the loss of the white Rook.      Nov-07-06 Schlechter vs P Meitner, 1899    Deefstes: I have to add my "Wow!" also.

It just wouldn't work.      Sep-14-06 Charousek vs M Englander, 1894    Deefstes: What an awesome mating net! This is edge of the seat stuff.      May-23-06 Quinteros vs Tukmakov, 1973    Deefstes: <ganstaman> I also tried for the Queen trap and also considered your line but if meets with untimely demise before it really even gets started - 40. f3 Qxf3 But before I'm sounding too wise I should add that I did horrible with this relatively easy puzze and took much too ...      Apr-21-06 E Mousa vs P Cody, 1998    Deefstes: <SJP> I'm not sure I understand your proposed line. From which position do you start? Is your move 6...Kxe7 not illegal?      Apr-18-06 Colle vs V Buerger, 1928     Apr-18-06 Colle vs Euwe, 1924     Apr-18-06 Colle vs J O'Hanlon, 1930     Apr-18-06 Colle vs V Vukovic, 1927    Mar-28-06 K Asrian vs A Pashikian, 2006     Feb-28-06 R Maric vs Gligoric, 1962     Feb-17-06 A Ivanov vs A Vitolinsh, 1979     Feb-09-06 Kasparov vs Petrosian, 1981     Feb-03-06 Gligoric vs Hort, 1963     Jan-16-06 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 2006     Jan-16-06 B Ostenstad vs S Agdestein, 2004    Dec-21-05 Bagirov vs Gufeld, 1973     Dec-14-05 J Cukierman vs A Voisin, 1928     Dec-01-05 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1994     Nov-18-05 Marshall vs G Marco, 1904     Nov-17-05 Flohr vs D Rovner, 1950     Nov-16-05 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1996     Nov-16-05 Azmaiparashvili vs Shirov, 1990     Nov-11-05 Kibitzer's Café     Nov-11-05 K Visweswaran vs J Gonzales, 2005     Nov-09-05 Keene vs Miles, 1976     Nov-04-05 M Tataev vs Kramnik, 1989     Nov-03-05 Hitech vs Kudrin, 1988     Nov-02-05 D Lapiccirella vs R Mantovani, 2001     Nov-01-05 M Vukcevich vs D Pantaleev, 1958     Oct-14-05 Tal vs Lutikov, 1964
