Mar-27-08 B Blumenfeld vs Botvinnik, 1931    Leviathan: Nice tactical sequence at the end.      Feb-22-08 H Helms vs Marshall, 1896    Leviathan: Young Marshall gets obliterated. Everyone who plays the dutch should know that trying to trap the Bg5 bishop is a bad idea - white goes e3 and Bd3 and the h5-e8 diagonal is just too weak.      Feb-10-08 Zvjaginsev vs P Zhang, 2007    Leviathan: Zvjaginsev shows creative play and cold-headed defense in a very beautiful game. 18.Ra2 is a gorgeous defensive move - doubling rooks behind the weak a4 pawn was . Then Pengxiang sacs a piece to get two connected passers, but Mr. Z doesn't panic. 31.Nxf7 returns the piece and ...      Feb-09-08 Euwe vs Flohr, 1939    Leviathan: Spectacular game by Euwe, going for an ambitious attack on the kingside. But I can't explain 14. ... Bf8 and 17. ... e6 - what was Flohr trying to do? After that the dark squares around his king are all weak and white's dark square bishop is a monster. Maybe 14. ... a5 followed by      Feb-09-08 Kasparov vs Chiburdanidze, 1980    Leviathan: What about 14. g5 Bg3 15.h4 ? Looks much safer to me.      Jan-28-07 Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander    Leviathan: Another one, on the same website: <"If you play Botvinnik, it is even alarming to see him write his move down. Slightly short-sighted, he stoops over his scoresheet and devotes his entire attention to recording the move in the most beautifully clear script; one feels that an ...      Jan-26-07 M Monticelli vs Marshall, 1931    Leviathan: Great game indeed! Black's queenside attack is extraordinarily powerful. However, I like 19.Nh4 much more than 19.Ba4, that looks a bit too passive in my humble amateur opinion. If 19. Nh4 Bg5 20.Bd3 or if 19. Nh4 Be4 20.Bd7 seems to give black a little more counterplay.      Jan-26-07 Shulman vs G Vescovi, 2005    Leviathan: <erli: why did he play 34. f5?> Probably just to open the f-file for the rook, since the f7 pawn is already under pressure. It looks like a good idea to me but somehow white didn't catch the opportunity to grab the f7 pawn and lost because of that, as <Honza> rightly ...      Jan-05-07 Adorjan vs B Kurajica, 1967   Leviathan: A spectacular display of aggressive energy. White's multiple sacrifices make his play highly entertaning: a true example for any intuitive (and brave) tactical player. Especially I consider the final mate in four very artistic and amusing. Although black's game is far from ...      Dec-12-06 M Napolitano vs E Hintikka, 1984   Leviathan: Black's coordination is impressive: every piece (king included) is involved in the attack, while white is badly entangled. 9.Bxf6 is already questionable (is the doubled c-pawn really worth the loss of the dark-squared bishop?) and 11.fxe5 is an oversight after which the game ...      Nov-28-06 Karpov vs Aronshtats, 1971    Nov-21-06 P Johner vs A Nimzowitsch, 1929     Nov-20-06 G Welling vs P Cafolla, 2006    Nov-15-06 V H Smith vs Korchnoi, 1993     Nov-05-06 C Becx vs Plachetka, 1987    Oct-11-06 D Shirley vs J Kay, 1983     Sep-21-06 G Welling vs R Druon, 1980     Sep-18-06 S Sulskis vs G Welling, 2003     Sep-04-06 Karpov vs Leko, 2006     Aug-31-06 T Brandhorst vs A Lecaros, 1999     Aug-24-06 D van Geet vs W Versnel, 1950     Aug-19-06 Bobotsov vs Ivkov, 1966     Aug-14-06 R Pert vs N Pert, 2001     Aug-13-06 Queen's Pawn Game (D00)     Aug-07-06 G Acar vs L Krumina, 2001     Aug-07-06 Keene vs P F Staley, 1963     Aug-07-06 A Raweh vs S Elnami, 2006     Mar-15-06 Walter Browne     Mar-01-06 M Basman vs T Horvath, 1979    Feb-16-06 Tseshkovsky vs Balashov, 1975    Feb-07-06 Seirawan vs Miles, 1979     Jan-24-06 Alekhine vs J Drewitt, 1923     Jan-09-06 P Heinrichsen vs A J Goldsby, 2003     Dec-31-05 A J Goldsby vs F D Hupp, 2003     Dec-19-05 J Matynia vs L Day, 1966     Dec-16-05 Bo Larsen vs A Auletta, 1998     Dec-03-05 Tartakower vs H Grob, 1948     Oct-02-05 Gulko vs Battle Chess, 1993     Jul-23-05 Philidor     Jul-22-05 Henrique Mecking     Jul-18-05 La Bourdonnais vs McDonnell, 1834     Jul-18-05 McDonnell vs La Bourdonnais, 1834     Jul-15-05 Van Wely vs Sutovsky, 2005     Jul-10-05 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs P Evtifeev, 1906     Jun-08-05 Morphy vs J Cunningham, 1859     Apr-27-05 P Damiano vs NN, 1497     Apr-15-05 R Kaskevich vs V Nebolsina, 2001     Apr-05-05 Saemisch vs Maroczy, 1929     Apr-05-05 A Nimzowitsch vs Saemisch, 1929     Mar-21-05 14th Amber Tournament: Rapid (2005)     Mar-13-05 Sicilian, Richter-Rauzer (B62)     Mar-12-05 R Blatt vs T De Martini, 1998     Mar-04-05 Lombardy vs Portisch, 1969    Feb-26-05 Cochrane vs A Deschapelles, 1821     Feb-17-05 H van der Heijden vs Feenstra, 1982     Feb-17-05 H van der Heijden vs Van Wanrooy, 1978     Feb-17-05 C Bloodgood vs W R Waymire, 1960     Feb-16-05 W E Napier vs Marshall, 1896     Feb-13-05 A Nimzowitsch vs J Szekely, 1927     Feb-13-05 Greco vs NN, 1623     Feb-12-05 Andersson vs M Basman, 1975     Feb-05-05 Indochess Man -
