Kukka has kibitzed 14 times to chessgames   [less...]

Apr-11-19 Petrov Defense (C42)    Kukka: This is funny: just mated in 13 moves with black, while trying out the infamous "beginner's trap" ...Nxe4 in the Petroff. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4 4.Qe2 Qe7 5.Qxe4 d6 6.d4 dxe5 7.dxe5 Nc6 8.Bb5 Bd7 9.0-0 0-0-0 10.Re1 Nxe5 11.Qxe5 Qxe5 12.Rxe5 Bxb5 13.Rxb5 Rd1#      Dec-11-17 A Petrosian vs L Hazai, 1970    Kukka: If in the final position White had a light-squared bishop (in addition to the queen), it still wouldn't be a trivial win, (Qxg3 hxg3 might not do it), but Qxa5 with the king at a4 would then seem to be decisive.      Dec-06-17 NN vs C Meyer, 1931    Kukka: A really poor game. White seems to be a total beginner. Move the queen to c1 and then back to d1, then bring out the king - now that's a novel way to play the opening.      Nov-19-17 L Cohen vs J Meyer, 1972   Kukka: It may be noted in the position after 43... Nhxg5, an unique freak situation for chess notation got quite close: after 44.Rxe5 Nxe5, a position would arise where for a move of the knight g5 to f3, neither "Ngf3" nor "N5f3" would suffice. It would have to be "Ng5f3". Probably it has ...      Jan-27-09 Corus Group A (2009)    Kukka: Three exchange offers so far in Kamsky v Aronian since time control.      Apr-22-08 M Tobor vs W Stamer, 1984    Kukka: This is what correspondence players get when they try too hard to refute the Latvian.      Apr-21-08 M Matto vs A Mossiaguine, 2008    Kukka: Hmm, I once lost a game in www.chess.net where my opponent promoted 7 Knights... and had both original ones left as well. (vs. "HungDinh" who often did this if his opponent didn't resign in a lightning game. A few times it ended in stalemate.)      Apr-14-08 E Woehl vs P Krusius, 1920   Kukka: There was also the more obvious 12.Bxh7+.(if Kh8 then Qh5) Quite a stupid ...0-0.      Jul-20-07 K Rohonyan vs T Abrahamyan, 2007    Kukka: I do not understand why black resigned. After ...Qxe5 20 Qxe5 Nxe5 21 Nxc5 she has three pawns for the piece. not a good position but resign?      Dec-24-06 T Casper vs K Heckert, 1975    Kukka: Probably an unique game indeed. It's unfortunate that the move 5 d4 doesn't really make objective sense-but one can understand these guys; they found a simple way to leave their names in chess history.      Sep-24-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     Sep-05-06 Leko vs Kasparov, 2003
