Dec-27-14 J Klavins vs Tal, 1949    davide2013: It seems that Chessbase has a different game, also if the result is the same, but in Chessbase Tal missed the winning checkmate. [Event "Riga-ch Juniors"] [Site "Riga"] [Date "1949.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Klavins, Janis"] [Black "Tal, Mihail"] [Result "0-1"]      Nov-12-14 I Farago vs Miles, 1977    davide2013: GM Daniel King, in his book on the English Defence, uses this game as example, but strangely with a different move order, and also with different result, for him White resigns at move 20, but both here, and Chessbase have it as a 33 moves game, quite strange: "1.c4 b6 2 d4 e6 ...      Sep-23-14 Bronstein vs A Ufimtsev, 1945    davide2013: I believe this is a Dutch Stonewall, not a semi-slav.      Sep-23-14 F Olafsson vs Bronstein, 1959   davide2013: It is interesting to see how different openings look similar. For example after move 12th. it looks like a Classical Dutch, but it was catalogued as Nimzo-Indian.      Sep-22-14 chessgames.com chessforum    davide2013: Quick question, using the opening explorer, I played these moves: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Nc3 d6 5. d4 . On the menu on the right it tells me there are about 55 games, but when I click on search database from this position, only 5 games come up. Where did the other 50 ...      Sep-08-14 Bronstein vs I Farago, 1990   davide2013: Poor Farago, beaten by an old guy, who just survived cancer, past his golden years (the 1950-60ies, when Bronstein was the at the Top). And the funny thing, as recounted in Secret Notes, is that Bronstein nearly lost the game for forfait, and arrived with 10 minutes left on the ...      Aug-25-14 Bronstein vs Botvinnik, 1944    davide2013: I watched this game really fast, so I'm not expressing wisdom with this comment, just sharing amazement at Bronstein! I do believe this game is magical. Bronstein as White is what every beginner's book describe as a bad position. Pieces undeveloped after 20 moves, and Black has a      Jul-14-14 Ivanchuk vs A Petelin, 1989   davide2013: I believe many games have a history. Here I cannot understand what happened. Ivanchuk played like a 1200 rated player. Move 40 he gifts a pawn, move 42 he moves the king away from the passed Black pawn. That doesn't make sense. Was he in time trouble? Did he sell the game? So, ...      Jul-10-14 M Dilley vs S Williams, 1993   davide2013: This game seems played by Patzers. I understand that now Williams is a GM, but maybe in that time he was a club player. White just hang the Queen!! 30.Qf7????? 30...Qxf7 game over DOH! I'm not sure Black's attack is correct.      Jun-25-14 Marshall vs Colle, 1927    davide2013: I'm surely wrong, but to me, this seems a French defense, advance variation, not an Alekhine.      Jun-07-14 Botvinnik vs Boleslavsky, 1941     May-25-14 F Chen vs J Ye, 2005    May-22-14 A Nimzowitsch vs Reti, 1925    May-14-14 J Polgar vs Y Visser, 1990    Apr-14-14 M Basman vs Keene, 1968     Apr-12-14 Koltanowski vs Colle, 1923     Mar-04-14 T van Scheltinga vs Botvinnik, 1958    Mar-04-14 T Gelashvili vs T Pettersson, 2004     Mar-03-14 Polgar - Spassky (1993)     Mar-02-14 M Dubrovic vs J Plenca, 2010    Feb-27-14 Biographer Bistro     Feb-26-14 T B Bennett vs Keene, 1970     Feb-15-14 R Tremblay vs N Noritsyn, 2011    Feb-15-14 R Stern vs Khenkin, 2011    Feb-15-14 H Knott vs F Perrin, 1857    Feb-08-14 Sangeet Khule vs Akash A Satpathy, 2008     Feb-08-14 Staunton vs Horwitz, 1846     Jan-29-14 E Rotunno vs Alekhine, 1938     Jan-24-14 Burn vs Alekhine, 1911     Jan-22-14 B Alterman vs Deep Fritz, 2000     Dec-24-13 Santa Claus     Dec-17-13 Bologan vs Adams, 1995    Dec-17-13 Bologan vs Adams, 1994     Dec-12-13 Andersson vs A Beliavsky, 2008     Dec-11-13 davide2013 chessforum     Dec-09-13 Karjakin vs Efimenko, 2011     Dec-08-13 V Vepkhvishvili vs I Charkhalashvili, 1999     Dec-08-13 Morozevich vs Oll, 1997    Dec-08-13 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1970     Dec-06-13 Chigorin vs Bird, 1889     Dec-06-13 A Brkljaca vs I Hrzic, 2010    Dec-06-13 Greco vs NN, 1620     Dec-06-13 Kharlov vs Topalov, 2004     Dec-05-13 M G Gahan vs Shyaam Nikhil P, 2011    Nov-30-13 La Bourdonnais vs F Haxo, 1836    Nov-27-13 A Vajda vs H Titz, 1993     Nov-15-13 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1990     Nov-14-13 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937     Nov-06-13 A Nimzowitsch vs Salwe, 1911     Nov-03-13 Steinitz vs P Meitner, 1860     Nov-01-13 Alekhine vs J Podgorny, 1943     Nov-01-13 Morphy vs T Knight, 1856     Oct-29-13 Morphy vs E Rousseau, 1849
