Aug-21-25 Warsaw Olympiad (1935)   marcusantoinerome: From Fine's book A Passion for Chess (Lessons from My Games), in the introduction to his game with Winter Fine vs W Winter, 1935 he writes: <There were two sensations in the tournament. One was the fantastically brilliant play of Paul Keres, then a complete unknown ...      Aug-05-25 Charousek vs V Lehner, 1897   marcusantoinerome: Julio Kaplan annotates this game for beginners in his ABCs of Chess column in the April 1978 issue of Chess Life & Review, page 210. It's a follow-on to his January 1978 column where he discusses pins (8. Bg5) and levers (10. Nh4 and 11. f4) and doubled isolated pawns (13.      Aug-01-25 R Snyder vs Browne, 1974    marcusantoinerome: Browne missed a mate in 3 with 37...Qe1+ 38. Qxe1 Be3+ 39. Qxe3 Rf1# as pointed out by Mike Henebry in Larry Evans's column in the August 1975 issue of Chess Life and Review. Evans answered: "Probably Browne was in his customary time-trouble. Since White is lost anyway,      Jul-29-25 David Parr   marcusantoinerome: Parr is mentioned by David Levy in his tournament report in the July 1975 issue of Chess Life & Review as having traveled the furthest (from Australia after finishing third in the national championship) to attend Lone Pine 1975. What was the cause of death?      Jul-26-25 Timman vs Korchnoi, 1991    marcusantoinerome: I'm surprised Korchnoi, after 3...f5, didn't stay aggressive with 5...d5 6.Nxe5 dxe4 7.Nxc6. But Black has to be careful because 7...bxc6 8.Bxc6+ Bd7 9.Qh5+ and White ends up with a strong attack. The alternatives are 7...Qd5 and 7...Qg5 8.Qe2 Nf6 as in Keres vs A Zaitsev,      Jul-18-25 Reti vs K Treybal, 1926    marcusantoinerome: Thanks <Alan McGowan>. The plot thickens.      Jul-18-25 Gruenfeld vs A Nimzowitsch, 1925   marcusantoinerome: This is actually the debut of 4. ... Ba6. Nimzowitsch had played 4. ... Bb7 previously, but played this 6 times (according to the CG database) with a score of +3=2-1. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che...      Jul-18-25 Rubinstein vs von Gottschall, 1925   marcusantoinerome: Not only did Rubinstein miss 26. Rxf7, he also missed 25. Bxf7+ Rxf7 (25. ... Kxf7 26. Rd7+ Kg8 27. Qb3+) 26. Rd8+ Rf8 27. Qb3+ Bd5 28. R1d5 etc. Those are two classic sacrifices that I would expect him to see immediately. And once you see them, they're easy to calculate. ...      Jul-17-25 Reti vs von Gottschall, 1925   marcusantoinerome: von Gottschall was 62 years old, it's amazing he held up as well as he did. 28. ... Rcd8?? allows a pretty combination starting with 29. Qf4! and Black must lose material.      Jul-17-25 A Nimzowitsch vs Reti, 1925   marcusantoinerome: Nimzowitsch seemed to play very listlessly in the early middlegame, making lots of pawn moves that didn't really improve his position. See Larsen vs C Hansen, 1988 for another example of where 5. Be2 ends up losing.      Jul-17-25 J Hector vs V Hamitevici, 2021    Jul-17-25 Reti vs Saemisch, 1925    Jul-12-25 Vaganian vs Tal, 1988    Jul-04-25 Saemisch vs Z von Balla, 1921    Jun-25-25 Reti vs Rubinstein, 1925    Jun-22-25 Keres vs Reshevsky, 1937    May-26-25 Rapport vs Ivanchuk, 2025     May-17-25 Larsen vs Matulovic, 1967    May-17-25 Larsen vs J Bednarski, 1967    May-17-25 Larsen vs H Lehmann, 1967    May-08-25 Hort vs Sax, 1979    May-07-25 A Lein vs Hort, 1979    May-05-25 Bogoljubov vs B Koch, 1933    May-04-25 Euwe vs Botvinnik, 1936     Apr-22-25 G Vescovi vs Sveshnikov, 2002    Apr-16-25 V Zurakhov vs Taimanov, 1954    Apr-09-25 Karpov vs Seirawan, 1982    Apr-07-25 Z Frometa Castillo vs J Polgar, 1988    Apr-06-25 Adams vs Kramnik, 1994    Mar-25-25 S Taulbut vs A Mikhalchishin, 1978    Mar-22-25 H Dronavalli vs O Badelka, 2025    Feb-23-25 Karpov vs Larsen, 1980    Feb-23-25 Second Piatigorsky Cup (1966)     Feb-18-25 L Altounian vs Y Lapshun, 2004    Jan-11-25 B Berger vs Z Vranesic, 1964    Dec-30-24 T Sachdev vs P Hulshof, 2013     Dec-30-24 K Lee vs L'Ami, 2013    Dec-21-24 Anderssen vs Dufresne, 1851    Dec-18-24 Flohr vs Keres, 1935     Dec-12-24 Lasker vs Janowski, 1924     Nov-07-24 Hort vs Benko, 1974    Oct-09-24 N Abasov vs Brunello, 2023    Oct-07-24 Portisch vs I Radulov, 1974    Sep-28-24 G Tokhirjonova vs Y Osmak, 2024    Sep-28-24 J van Foreest vs Niemann, 2022    Aug-23-24 H Camara vs Benko, 1973    Jul-22-24 A Aaberg vs J Hector, 1991    Jul-09-24 Fischer vs J Jones, 1964     Jul-09-24 L Evans vs G Tringov, 1964    Jun-24-24 Petrosian vs D Tomic, 1970     Jun-24-24 Timman vs M Cebalo, 1985    Jun-21-24 M Luckis vs V Kahn, 1939     Jun-15-24 D Gurevich vs L Christiansen, 1993    May-18-24 Reshevsky vs Menchik, 1935    May-01-24 A Cramling Bellon vs J Johannsdottir, 2023    Mar-28-24 Matulovic vs I Bilek, 1967    Feb-24-24 Manila Interzonal (1990)    Feb-22-24 Miles vs Short, 1976    Feb-13-24 Anatoly Lutikov    Feb-07-24 Mackenzie vs Paulsen, 1887    Jan-30-24 E Grivas vs S Li, 2008    Jan-05-24 H Berliner vs A Bisguier, 1960    Dec-15-23 Bronstein vs Boleslavsky, 1948    Dec-10-23 V Mikenas vs T Bergs, 1937     Nov-25-23 Smirin vs G de Boer, 1993    Nov-06-23 A Makarov vs Flohr, 1957    Nov-03-23 E Joppen vs Bronstein, 1954    Oct-16-23 Spassky vs Seirawan, 1980    Oct-13-23 A Suleymenov vs Carlsen, 2023     Oct-09-23 E Moradiabadi vs T Hillarp Persson, 2019    Oct-07-23 A Mengarini vs Seirawan, 1974    Sep-30-23 T Tylor vs Koltanowski, 1929     Sep-24-23 C Carls vs M Romi, 1927    Sep-08-23 L Asztalos vs L Miliani, 1923    Sep-03-23 C G Steele vs G Wainwright, 1923    Sep-03-23 H Jacobs vs W Gibson, 1923    Jun-29-23 R G Wade vs J Littlewood, 1971    Jun-17-23 Petrosian vs Flohr, 1942     Jun-07-23 G Mammadzada vs B Khotenashvili, 2023     Jun-07-23 O Popovych vs Spassky, 1986    May-30-23 Capablanca vs S Khan, 1929    May-15-23 Timman vs Karpov, 1993    May-09-23 Kasparov vs S Rachels, 1988     May-04-23 L Spassov vs Adorjan, 1977     Apr-11-23 Alburt vs Kasparov, 1978     Apr-05-23 Korchnoi - Portisch Candidates Quarterfinal (1983)     Feb-12-23 G Kalniczky vs Charousek, 1896    Sep-13-22 A Mengarini vs Reshevsky, 1951     Dec-16-21 O'Kelly vs Najdorf, 1946    Sep-24-21 Tseitlin vs A Yuneev, 1979    Mar-27-21 Breyer vs F Havlicek, 1921    Mar-18-21 Larsen vs Huebner, 1973    Mar-01-21 Kavalek vs I Bilek, 1967    Feb-16-21 Polugaevsky vs Mecking, 1977    Feb-14-21 J Peters vs Lombardy, 1977     Feb-06-21 J Metger vs Burn, 1889    Nov-01-20 Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1965     Apr-18-20 H Camilleri vs Uhlmann, 1969    Dec-18-18 Adams vs Kotronias, 1993     Oct-13-18 Dlugy vs de Firmian, 1988    Feb-01-18 F Kuijpers vs I Saren, 1976     Nov-10-16 V Vepkhvishvili vs A Berdzenishvili, 1981     Aug-15-12 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1981     Jun-27-12 K Larsen vs M Arnold, 2012    Aug-13-10 Lutikov vs Taimanov, 1969     May-09-06 Bronstein vs Shamkovich, 1961     Apr-29-06 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997     Aug-02-05 Nunn vs Portisch, 1988     Mar-22-05 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935     Apr-20-04 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858     Mar-19-04 Carlsen vs Kasparov, 2004     Feb-20-04 Rublevsky vs Z Varga, 2001     Feb-12-04 J Hector vs J Hultin, 2004
