YoGoSuN has kibitzed 57 times to chessgames   [less...]

Dec-01-14 Mamedyarov vs Giri, 2014    YoGoSuN: What about 20. Qxe1+ with the idea of Rd1+ ?      Apr-16-14 Euwe vs J G Baay, 1921    YoGoSuN: Yes, that was a good catch <FSR>. It always astonishes me how counter-intuitive it is that as one reaches the endgame, things don't become simpler, but devilishly more complicated!      Jan-08-14 P de Rooi vs Portisch, 1963    YoGoSuN: Can anyone please explain 16. Nxg4? I don't understand why Portisch felt he had to give the piece back...      Jan-07-14 Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1914    YoGoSuN: I am guessing that Capa didn't do in for the 20. Nxe6 combo since after fxe6 21. Qxe6+ Kh8 22. Qxa6 Rd2 White will lose the d-pawn and be ravelled up in a tight knot. I also believe that Alekhine would have been able to liquidate the Q-side and easily hold the rook ending with pawns      Dec-02-13 Spassky vs E Perez Gosalbes, 1964    YoGoSuN: Seeing Spassky's Bd1 surprised me at first, but when I thought about it he probably thought it an asset to keep the bishops, as Nb4 would then have been annoying. And that LSB really turns out to be a great piece. It's also incredible to see how Spassky's superior positional ...      Nov-05-13 Taimanov vs Spassky, 1962    YoGoSuN: This game comes off as very strange to me: it's rare in the KID that Black gives White the e4 square and goes onto win!      Oct-20-13 N Popov vs Karpov, 1968   YoGoSuN: <SimonWebbsTiger> Yes, I do believe that Karpov intended central play with the d5 pawn break, which would end any future possible control of the d5 in addition to freeing his game. Thanks for pointing out that Boleslavsky-Keres game. There, Keres didn't intend for d5 but ...      Sep-29-13 Rubinstein vs Lasker, 1925    YoGoSuN: Can anyone care to explain why Lasker went 57. Kd3 instead of 57. Kb1? I'm sure that 57. Kd3 wins as well, but isn't it 57. Kb1 more direct and obvious?      Sep-21-13 Averbakh vs V Lyublinsky, 1950    YoGoSuN: Nice zugzwang position in the end.. I wonder how far Averbakh must have seen that he went in for the opposite-coloured bishops ending.      Sep-19-13 Kholmov vs Tal, 1963    YoGoSuN: LOL, I took five minutes and went for 42. Re2 after 41. Qxf3 instead of the much more direct 42. Rg5+ while Tal played the whole game in five minutes... man truly was a magician!      Aug-15-13 Karpov vs J L Fernandez Garcia, 1987     Apr-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)     Feb-10-13 M Glienke vs Karpov, 1983    Oct-14-12 S Silva Lillo vs D Andreikin, 2008    Jul-19-12 Ponomariov vs M Bartel, 2012     Jul-18-12 B Milic vs Gligoric, 1951     Jul-18-12 Kramnik vs Damljanovic, 1993     Jun-10-12 Morozevich vs Carlsen, 2012     Jun-10-12 Van Wely vs Aronian, 2008    May-08-12 G Sargissian vs Y Teplitsky, 2004    May-07-12 G Sargissian vs G Dizdar, 2003    May-05-12 Topalov vs Aronian, 2006    Mar-12-12 S Volkov vs Morozevich, 2003    Oct-18-11 A Moiseenko vs Morozevich, 2011     Oct-08-11 N Guliyev vs Efimenko, 2005    Jul-18-11 Kasparov vs Adams, 1999     Jun-29-11 R Flores Alvarez vs Smyslov, 1965     Jun-08-11 Korchnoi vs Filip, 1962     Sep-27-10 D Bailey vs L Day, 1988     Aug-10-10 Bacrot vs Anand, 2006    Oct-10-09 Aronian vs Shirov, 2009     Jul-07-09 M Umansky vs The World, 2009     Mar-01-09 Ivanchuk vs Radjabov, 2009     Mar-01-09 Y Wang vs Grischuk, 2009     Feb-28-09 Grischuk vs Dominguez Perez, 2009     Feb-23-09 Keene vs V Kovacevic, 1973     Feb-09-09 Spassky vs Petrosian, 1966     Jan-27-09 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2006     Dec-27-08 Kibitzer's Café     Dec-04-08 Raymond Keene
