jimx has kibitzed 39 times to chessgames   [less...]

Feb-02-25 Shirov vs D Reinderman, 1999    jimx: According to the comment I left over 10 years ago, it looks like this "easy" Saturday puzzle from 2014 has been promoted to an even easier (relatively speaking) Sunday puzzle in 2025.      Oct-25-24 K Havasi vs Lilienthal, 1931    jimx: Crafty has black at a healthy -1.90 after 1... Kg7 2. Nxc8 -1.68/19 10 Qxd6 3. Rxd6 -1.64/23 5 Bxc8 4. Rd8 -1.64/22 6 Kf7 5. Rh8 -1.59/23 0.3 h6 6. Rxh6 -1.71/22 32 Kg7 7. Rh5 * While I was copying and pasting the above, Crafty has bumped black up to -1.97. I think the idea is that ...      Sep-24-24 A Zatonskih vs E Epstein, 2008    jimx: Since this game's final position is not checkmate, presumably black's loss was due to resignation and I would therefore argue that Epstein did in fact kill herself (metaphorically).      May-05-24 Bird vs Blackburne, 1879    jimx: The "song" from the Peter Sellers film that <offramp> was talking about is probably "Birdie Num Num" by the Aussie/Melbourne band Mr Floppy, released on their album "The Unbearable Lightness of Being a D!ckhead" in 1993 (but first performed live in 1991). Most songs on the album ...      Feb-10-24 G Kluger vs J Szily, 1952    jimx: Kluger is actually cleverer. Literally.      May-12-23 Sliwa vs G Stoltz, 1953    jimx: I CAN READ IT      Apr-27-23 Najdorf vs Denker, 1996   jimx: @Petrosianic - And also like Maxwell Smart, Najdorf was 86 when this game was played.      Jan-22-23 Speelman vs Tal, 1985    jimx: 11..a6 is basically Tal announcing "I have a devastating plan to destroy you in another 10 moves or so, but I need my knight on c6 to do it." And my response would be "Well there is no way I can figure out or even guess what that could possibly be especially in blitz, but you are Tal ...      Oct-06-22 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022    jimx: I think CG typo'd a "B" instead of "Ch" in the GoTD title.      Mar-09-22 Hermann Buehler   jimx: This is Bueler's only game on chessgames.com. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss games like this where the Sausage King of Chicago beat Lasker.      Dec-18-21 H Mattison vs R Millers, 1926    Dec-22-17 Alekhine vs W Lamb, 1929     Nov-28-17 R Slade vs D V Hooper, 1947     Apr-02-17 A Sokolov vs Salov, 1983     Jan-03-17 T Mauwa vs R Cecchetti, 1996     Nov-13-16 Carlsen vs S Ernst, 2004     Sep-26-16 M Pitz vs S Stark, 2009     Aug-19-16 Rubinstein vs Gruenfeld, 1929     Aug-16-14 Madame De Remusat     Dec-23-13 Butler vs G W Baynes, 1891     May-18-11 S P Johnston vs Marshall, 1899     Jan-11-11 E Can vs Shulman, 2010     Mar-22-10 Alekhine vs A Asgeirsson, 1931     Jun-04-09 Geller vs Tal, 1959     May-11-09 T Kosintseva vs E Zaiatz, 2009     Dec-30-08 N Lisicic vs D Arsic, 2008     Oct-02-08 Soyuz 9 Cosmonauts vs Ground Control, 1970     Sep-09-08 I Rogers vs R Kuijf, 1989     Aug-29-08 E Lowe vs Staunton, 1847     Aug-08-08 Steinitz vs Blackburne, 1873     Jul-22-08 Rock     Jul-17-07 Boleslavsky vs Bronstein, 1950    Mar-09-07 Khalifman vs Serper, 1994     Dec-19-06 Timman vs W Hug, 1974     Dec-11-06 E Cohn vs Spielmann, 1904
