The Long Diagonal has kibitzed 160 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jun-26-25 W Heil vs P Hitzler, 2000    The Long Diagonal: I thought this pairing would be illegal in Germany.      Mar-17-19 M Sibilio vs S Mariotti, 1982    The Long Diagonal: This would make a great spoiler puzzle.      Jul-13-18 M Czerniak vs J Bednarski, 1963   The Long Diagonal: 53. .. Rb1 wins on the spot, threatening mate in one, and white has no tricks or cheapos whatsoever. Hard to believe that 53. .. Ke5?? actually happened on the board.      Feb-22-18 S P Sethuraman vs K Kulaots, 2018    The Long Diagonal: Very weird indeed. I face ...Qa5? every now and then and win a pawn with the Nd5 trick but that happens in blitz and my opponents are mainly sub 2000 players, certainly no GMs.      Sep-13-17 R Delaune vs F Rhine, 1997   The Long Diagonal: This game had always escaped my attention before but now I noticed this, thanks to GOTD "Fred Rhine fell."

Sorry. English is not my native language, obviously.      Jan-29-17 Nepomniachtchi vs So, 2017    The Long Diagonal: So winning the game is not a huge surprise itself. But a 2700+ GM being lost with white in 8 moves is something abnormal. There have been conspiracy theories created on much less than this. Not that I would believe in conspiracy theories and I don't want to take anything ...      Nov-17-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016    The Long Diagonal: Cucurbit: Karpov-Korchnoi 1981.      Dec-23-15 S Guramishvili vs R Vogel, 2015    The Long Diagonal: <I think the vast majority of people think it's poor sportsmanship, and it's the culture of the game, after all, that drives the unwritten rules.> I am definitely not for playing on in hopeless positions, in fact I have sometimes been accused of resigning too early, ...      Dec-16-15 O B Vea vs F Jacobsen, 2014     Dec-12-15 Hikaru Nakamura     Nov-25-15 Y Sakharov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1957    Jun-04-15 Euwe vs S Khan, 1932     May-22-15 N Umudova vs A Hairapetian, 2008     Apr-23-15 R Altshuler vs K Messere, 1965     Feb-24-15 Pierre de Saint-Amant     Feb-24-15 Jobava vs Mamedyarov, 2015     Nov-17-14 P Haba vs B Kokes, 2003     Jun-25-14 9th Edmonton International (2014)     Jun-18-14 S Baldazzi vs A Holmsten, 2001     Jun-05-14 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2014     Mar-13-14 Anand vs Aronian, 2014     Jan-23-14 Tata Steel Masters (2014)     Aug-16-13 Shimanov vs Kamsky, 2013     Jun-17-13 C Samarian vs G Gennari, 2005     Jun-15-13 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2013     Mar-21-13 Kramnik vs Ivanchuk, 2013     Feb-05-13 Nepomniachtchi vs N Matinian, 2013     Jan-23-13 I Sokolov vs Leko, 2013     Oct-13-12 D H Campora vs Larsen, 1981     Sep-28-12 Team White vs Team Black, 2012     Sep-10-12 F Mandizha vs D Svetushkin, 2012    Jul-17-12 M Todorcevic vs V Kovacevic, 1989    May-21-12 Anand vs Gelfand, 2012     Mar-27-12 G Fontein vs Euwe, 1939     Dec-13-11 A Beliavsky vs Kupreichik, 1983     Dec-08-11 London Chess Classic (2011)     Nov-24-11 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2011     Sep-07-11 L Dominguez Perez vs J Polgar, 2011     Aug-14-11 Einstein vs Oppenheimer, 1933     Jul-03-11 P Leonhardt vs Tarrasch, 1910     Jun-19-11 Karjakin vs Radjabov, 2011     May-23-11 Gelfand vs Grischuk, 2011     May-08-11 Topalov vs Kamsky, 2011     Jan-10-11 Koltanowski vs J Salazar, 1939     Sep-30-10 I Sokolov vs Ivanchuk, 2010     Sep-25-10 Khanty-Mansiysk Olympiad (2010)     May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010     May-09-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010     May-06-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010     Apr-02-10 S Haug vs H Titz, 2005    Mar-19-10 Y Ramsingh vs Short, 1983    Jan-31-10 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2010     Jan-29-10 Shirov vs Kramnik, 2010     Dec-01-09 A Flaata vs O Hole, 1994     Nov-26-09 Suetin vs Botvinnik, 1952     Oct-30-09 H Munoz Sotomayor vs H Salazar Jacob, 1990     Sep-12-09 Grischuk vs Karjakin, 2009     Feb-19-09 S Dave vs Arnav Dhoke, 2008     Nov-21-08 Magnus Carlsen     Oct-23-08 Anand vs Kramnik, 2008     Oct-17-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     Aug-15-08 E Berg vs Rozentalis, 2008    Aug-05-08 Capablanca vs K Treybal, 1929     Jun-17-08 Nisipeanu vs Shirov, 2008     Apr-29-08 V Olexa vs M Ujtelky, 1948     Apr-27-08 Morphy vs A Meek, 1857     Mar-28-08 Shumov vs Kolisch, 1862     Feb-19-08 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1991     Feb-17-08 Topalov vs Ivanchuk, 2008     Feb-04-08 M Dutreeuw vs O Salmensuu, 2001     Jan-10-08 Tigran L Petrosian     Jan-02-08 C De Vere vs Steinitz, 1864     Jul-24-07 Akiba Rubinstein     Mar-03-06 Leko vs F Vallejo Pons, 2006     Mar-01-06 P Leonhardt vs Taubenhaus, 1905     Sep-23-05 P Poutiainen vs Tal, 1977     Apr-14-05 Kasparov vs Bareev, 1994     Mar-23-05 F Vallejo Pons vs Shirov, 2005     Nov-17-04 M Djerkovic vs D Khaziyeva, 2004    Nov-08-04 Hort vs H Bastian, 1988     Nov-19-03 Kibitzer's Café     Sep-08-03 Flohr vs S Landau, 1930     Sep-03-03 T Helin vs J Kiltti, 1996     Aug-11-03 R Sobel vs Fischer, 1956     Jul-26-03 Bronstein vs A Beliavsky, 1975     Jun-05-03 Saint-Amant vs Staunton, 1843
