geeker has kibitzed 419 times to chessgames   [less...]

Jun-24-25 S Atalik vs E Bagakis, 1994    geeker: Nice finish by the "Sultan of Suat", but not hard to see when posed as a puzzle.      Apr-11-25 Suetin vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1964    geeker: A rare success...The first 11 ply (through 43...e3+) was the first candidate variation I considered. Long forced variation. I stopped there, figuring that 2 connected passers on the 6th rank were winning.      Jan-06-25 I Raicevic vs D Anic, 1989    geeker: The combination to win a piece is not difficult, but it's then challenging to keep the piece and some long variations have to be considered. Tough for a Monday.      Dec-30-24 D Wagner vs R Hendriks, 2013    geeker: Not overly challenging (well, it's Monday and even I could see the answer), but a very pretty finale.      Dec-22-24 Kotronias vs D King, 1990    geeker: I think I know this one by now, having seen it here at least 3 times in recent memory. :-)      Nov-05-24 G Sanders vs L Storch, 1984    geeker: Interesting that 19. Rxe4, which I thought would be equivalent, doesn't work! HeHateMe (2022) beat me to the Larry Storch F Troop punch. I didn't care for that show and almost never watched it.      Nov-04-24 Matulovic vs V Sokolov, 1953    geeker: I went for 29. Rc8+ as first candidate, saw that it worked and never noticed that Rb7+ also won easily. There seemed to be a "J'adoubovic" week not that long ago...surprised to see him again so soon.      Oct-24-24 Abdusattorov vs P Maghsoodloo, 2024    geeker: I watched live online coverage of this game. Tragic for Parham: in totally winning position he went for a flashy but unsound Q sac, overlooking the refutation via Zwischenschach and backward Q retreat.      Sep-10-24 I Shrentzel vs A Enoshi, 1988    geeker: Excellent point, TheaN. I also got sidetracked on the 30. Nxe6+ try.      Aug-21-24 K Hulak vs Hort, 1983    geeker: Nice Wednesday trick! Being presented as a puzzle, I managed to spot it, but would I have done so in real time with the clock ticking?      Jul-29-24 Alekhine vs M Vasic Miles, 1931     Jul-25-24 Hracek vs A Kveinys, 1992
