Aug-05-15 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    landogriffin: @ChessBookie <With that in mind, does anyone know a better site for it than http://ruchess.ru/en/ ?> not really, but found this for what it's worth: http://www.chessdom.com/russian-sup...      Jul-01-15 G Chandler vs R Kynoch, 1981    landogriffin: Brilliant stuff! Congrats, Geoff - a real champion of us chess "little guys"! Great to see you getting recognition in return. *Big up Sandy Bells chess massive*      Jul-01-15 Ruy Lopez Festival (2007)   landogriffin: Apparently the 3rd highest Rating Performance of all time by Sargissian!? Obviously quite a short tournament and don't even get me started on rating inflation, but... still!! Also: what a beast in Team tournaments! 3 Team Gold, 1 Ind. Gold at Olympiads, another team gold at ...      Jul-01-15 Petrosian Memorial (1999)    landogriffin: This is brilliant. Came here from Wiki "Chess World Records" page. Tournament to honour "Iron Tigran" ends up with highest draw % recorded (93%, 42/45) - maybe there is a god?      Jun-02-15 Bronstein vs Boleslavsky, 1958    landogriffin: Fantastic! Bronstein winning with the... Bronstein variation! Gotta love that guy.      May-27-15 FIDE Grand Prix Khanty-Mansiysk (2015)    landogriffin: @mkrk17: FYI, Grischuk still on track to gain Candidates place via the Av Rating criteria (along with Topalov). Giri, Kramnik, So & Aronian also in contention.      Aug-08-14 E Maggiolo vs D Suarez, 1994    landogriffin: Got Qg3+, but not Rd1+ follow up :( <agb2002> - just to say your last line doesn't end in mate, but instead the rather nasty 'cold shower' - 50. Qxb3. It is obviously possible to force mate with moves other than 49...Qb3 though, so the general idea is right!      Jun-16-14 Ivanchuk vs Kamsky, 1994    landogriffin: Great game; was looking at this in a book recently, but forget which one it was now...anybody got any ideas?! Also, just a reminder to everybody: this was played 'blindfold'!!      Jun-02-14 Ivkov vs M Cuellar Gacharna, 1967    landogriffin: Was just wondering what would happen if black didn't play Re1??. One line was: 44...Rh1+ 45. Kg3 Rxh4 46. Nf4+ Kg5 47. Nxe5+ Kh5 48. Nf4+ Kg5 49. Rg6+ and white picks up the rook.      May-02-14 M Raicevic vs P Lukacs, 1984    landogriffin: Strange one in that I looked at it for about a minute without even getting close to seeing anything. Eventually it became apparent that the hanging rook on b1 had to be involved and after that Nxf2 jumped out. Saw there were some mating threats, but nothing too concrete after ...      Apr-17-14 V Nielsen vs C F Delcomyn, 1894     Apr-04-14 C G Poch vs A Planinc, 1971     Apr-03-14 Marshall vs Pillsbury, 1904     Mar-27-14 Tal vs Korchnoi, 1987     Mar-04-14 Paulsen vs E von Schmidt, 1864     Jan-22-14 A Wagner vs Z Hermanowicz, 1933     Jan-20-14 Van der Wiel vs Timman, 1982     Jan-09-14 A Asgeirsson vs W Fairhurst, 1933     Jan-07-14 Naiditsch vs Khenkin, 2013     Aug-09-13 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1987     Jul-13-11 Biel Chess Festival (2011)     Jul-13-11 Dortmund Sparkassen (2011)     Sep-21-07 World Championship Tournament (2007)     Sep-10-07 Breyer vs J Esser, 1917     Aug-28-07 Morozevich vs Ljubojevic, 2002    Aug-20-07 Staunton Memorial (2007)
