Jul-16-25 Maroczy vs Chigorin, 1903   PaulPetrovitj: Maroczy analysed this game in his autobiography. He claimed that 14.-, Kf8 was a major mistake, and that Black should have played 14. -, Qb6. He gave a number of variations after 15. Qa3. The silicon monster confirms that this was a somewhat stronger defence than the game ...      Jul-12-25 Winawer vs Tarrasch, 1892   PaulPetrovitj: OK, keypusher, you may well have a point there. I have the greatest respect for Lasker's strength, and in his Manual I have always found his account of positional play very illuminating.      Jul-05-25 E Schallopp vs Tarrasch, 1882   PaulPetrovitj: White should have played 10. Kg1 instead of 10. e5. Black on the other hand should have answered 10. e5 with 10.-, c5. The weaking of f5 proved fatal for White when Black later on could plant his N on f5 and then on the weakened g3 square. Alternatives for White are e.g. 10. ...      Jun-25-25 Bronstein vs Keres, 1956    PaulPetrovitj: Yes, Paul1959, it is well worth studying Keres' comments to this game in his chapter on defence. Just a brilliant chapter, this example well illustrates how a player who manages to defend well, can put great pressure on the player having the advantage, and this often results ...      Jun-25-25 Keres vs Bronstein, 1956   PaulPetrovitj: Both players spent a lot of time in the opening phase of this game. Keres and Mikenas commented on it in the Russian tournament book, and regarding 2. Bc4 the comment was that since Bronstein had spent 10 minutes to make his first move (!), it seemed like a good idea to enter ...      Jun-23-25 Paul Schmidt    PaulPetrovitj: After the Buenos Aires 1939 Olympic, during which the 2nd WW broke out, many European chess masters chose to stay in Argentina. Schmidt learned that his family was safe, and therefore decided to return to Europe. He served as a medical assistant in the German Air Force during ...      Jun-22-25 Bronstein vs Smyslov, 1950    PaulPetrovitj: What was characteristic of Bronstein was his resourcefulness and inventiveness. Here, as Olavi points out, he started complications by Nb4 when Smyslov was approaching time trouble. This unexpected turn of events decided the game in White's favour. In this respect, the game is      Jun-16-25 Alekhine vs S Levitsky, 1913   PaulPetrovitj: Concerning Levitsky, he is mentioned in Voronkov's book nr 1 on the Soviet Championships. In USSR ch nr 2, 1923, he arrived in Petersburg, but became ill before the tournament - it turned out that he suffered from stomach cancer. When he felt up to it, he returned to ...      Jun-15-25 S Levitsky vs Alekhine, 1913   PaulPetrovitj: Yes, 42. d5?? lost the game on the spot. An almost incredible mistake. By the way, in this match the players were restricted in their choice of openings. Evidently, the financial backer of the match wanted to avoid "boring" play.      Jun-14-25 Flamberg vs Spielmann, 1912   PaulPetrovitj: The computer (Stockfish) has the position after 34. g3 as a draw. In the variation given by beatgiant, White can move his K between e3 and f3 (instead of Kf4), and although he cannot create a passed Pawn on the Q-side, Black is unable to make headway.      Jun-13-25 S Levitsky vs Alekhine, 1913    Jun-09-25 Fischer vs A Di Camillo, 1956    Jun-05-25 Kolisch vs Anderssen, 1861    May-31-25 Kolisch vs Anderssen, 1861    May-29-25 N Grandelius vs Z Tan, 2025    May-14-25 Kosteniuk vs R Vaishali, 2025    May-07-25 V Fedoseev vs B Deac, 2025    May-06-25 C Aravindh vs V Fedoseev, 2025    May-05-25 Vachier-Lagrave vs V Fedoseev, 2025    May-04-25 V Fedoseev vs D Gavrilescu, 2025    Apr-28-25 Smyslov vs E Arnlind, 1963    Apr-12-25 Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1860    Apr-09-25 Kolisch vs Anderssen, 1860    Apr-05-25 Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1860    Mar-30-25 Chigorin vs Schiffers, 1876    Mar-28-25 Chigorin vs I Miasnikov, 1876    Mar-26-25 Chigorin vs I Miasnikov / V Kolokoltsev, 1876    Mar-14-25 Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1860    Mar-12-25 Kolisch vs Anderssen, 1860    Mar-11-25 Kolisch vs Anderssen, 1860    Mar-11-25 Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1859    Mar-09-25 Winawer vs Chigorin, 1875    Mar-05-25 Chigorin vs A Ascharin, 1875    Feb-27-25 Giri vs Morozevich, 2012    Feb-21-25 P Cramling vs Kosteniuk, 2019     Feb-15-25 Chigorin vs Davydow, 1874    Feb-15-25 N Salimova vs V Gunina, 2024    Feb-08-25 N Salimova vs P Shuvalova, 2023    Feb-07-25 P Shuvalova vs N Salimova, 2023    Feb-03-25 N Salimova vs M Aulia, 2023    Jan-27-25 M Aulia vs N Salimova, 2023    Jan-27-25 Nurgyul Salimova    Jan-13-25 H Bartels vs Carlsen, 2000    Dec-31-24 Fedorov vs S Gorelov, 1995    Dec-29-24 E Jenay vs Steinitz, 1860    Dec-25-24 Steinitz vs Lang, 1860    Dec-24-24 E Pilhal vs Steinitz, 1859     Dec-18-24 Bronstein vs P Romanovsky, 1945    Dec-10-24 I Kan vs Botvinnik, 1935    Dec-09-24 Polugaevsky vs Nunn, 1980    Nov-21-24 P Romanovsky vs I Rabinovich, 1925    Oct-27-24 G Borisenko vs Jaroslavtsev, 1957    Oct-27-24 Kholmov vs Geller, 1957    Oct-17-24 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959    Oct-16-24 Benko vs Tal, 1959    Oct-06-24 Botvinnik vs I Kalinin, 1924    Oct-05-24 Alekhine vs B Gregory, 1914    Sep-30-24 Znosko-Borovsky vs Flamberg, 1914    Sep-28-24 Chigorin vs W K von Stamm, 1903     Sep-27-24 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Schiffers, 1903    Sep-26-24 Maroczy vs Rubinstein, 1908    Sep-25-24 N Kalinsky vs O Bernstein, 1903    Sep-25-24 Chigorin vs N Kalinsky, 1903    Sep-23-24 V Yurevich vs O Bernstein, 1903    Sep-23-24 B A Nikolaev vs Salwe, 1903    Sep-21-24 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Salwe, 1903    Sep-20-24 M Lowcki vs Rubinstein, 1903    Sep-18-24 Rubinstein vs A Rabinovich, 1903    Sep-17-24 O Bernstein vs F Duz-Khotimirsky, 1903    Sep-16-24 Chigorin vs O Bernstein, 1903    Sep-16-24 Chigorin vs V Yurevich, 1903    Sep-03-24 Spassky vs A Ornstein, 1974    Aug-29-24 Bronstein vs Kotov, 1948    Aug-29-24 Bronstein vs Kotov, 1948    Aug-29-24 Bronstein vs Kotov, 1950    Aug-25-24 N Alexandria vs A Kushnir, 1971    Aug-18-24 Keres vs Lilienthal, 1941    Aug-18-24 Keres vs Benko, 1962    Aug-18-24 Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1962    Jul-21-24 L Hill vs Fischer, 1957     Jul-21-24 Alekhine vs O Chajes, 1923     Nov-14-21 Bled-Zagreb-Belgrade Candidates (1959)     Nov-11-21 Keres vs Fischer, 1959
