sshhhh has kibitzed 40 times to chessgames   [less...]

May-06-15 J Augustin vs J Vesely, 1965    sshhhh: I went for 27. Qh8, pinning the rook and winning the knight (27... Rxh8 28. Rxh8#; 27... Ne8 28. Qxg8+ Kxg8 29. Rh8#, 27 ... Nh5 28. Rxh5 gh 29. Bg7+ Ke7 30. Qxg8, up a knight, so best defence might be just 27 ... Ne7 28. Bxg7+ Ke8, probably a better way to lose a knight). Clearly ...      Mar-04-15 A De Santis vs M Santurbano, 2005   sshhhh: <TheaN> very nice analysis - I completely missed the Bh6# threat. Thank you.      Feb-04-15 Ivanchuk vs Jobava, 2015    sshhhh: Few things in chess make me as happy as Chucky on a winning streak.      Feb-03-15 Navara vs P Polak, 1996   sshhhh: The CG page for Petr Polak is intriguing. The bio note says that he is two players, yet he's only played one game.      Jan-19-15 A Dale vs A R Saleh Salem, 2015    sshhhh: Not sure there's anything to understand. Trying to activate his pieces in a cramped position, sacs a couple of pawns, exchanges off his bishop as soon as he's found some squares for it, resigns soon after. Poor guy's hundreds of ratings points below everyone but Haast, and even on -5      Jan-02-15 J Hawkins vs R Edouard, 2015   sshhhh: What about 20. Rc1 Nd5?      Nov-06-14 V Cmilyte vs M Gutad Iversen, 1994    sshhhh: Well, *I'm* ready to admit I failed. Seduced by 27. Nf6, threatening Rh7#, and if … Kxg7, then Rg1#. So then I assumed …Rxf6, 28. Qxf6, and mate in 3. Completely missed … Qxf1#, which is a shame as everything else was very pretty :)      Oct-06-14 D Howell vs S Williams, 2014    sshhhh: Just a reference to the sponsors of the tournament, <An Englishman>.      Aug-15-14 J Polgar vs Epishin, 1996    sshhhh: I hope she's "retiring" in the same sense in which Ivanchuk retired a few years ago (i.e. not really retiring). I'll miss her if she really quits tournament chess.      May-02-13 G Welling vs B Huemmer, 1982    sshhhh: In the CG opening explorer, 1.d4 Nf6 2.f3 has a pretty good percentage for white (+24=9-20). But in bigger databases with more non-master games (e.g. 365chess.com) it does predictably badly. 2... c5 seems not to be the best reply; after 2... d5 instead, white often either plays 3.e4 ...      Apr-30-13 V Vepkhvishvili vs K Shavgulidze, 1983     Dec-30-12 Maroczy vs M Romi, 1930     Dec-09-12 A Rodriguez vs Timoshenko, 1998     Oct-17-12 Landa vs R Gerber, 2012    Jul-17-12 Kamsky vs Le Quang Liem, 2012     Mar-22-12 A Rombaldoni vs F Vallejo Pons, 2012     Mar-20-12 M Ragger vs R S Jones, 2007     Jan-17-12 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2011     Nov-25-11 Tal vs A Vooremaa, 1979     Oct-30-11 J Becerra Rivero vs A Zapata, 1997     Aug-28-11 J Xie vs A Galliamova, 1990     Jul-25-11 Ivanchuk vs Sutovsky, 2011     May-04-11 M Abbink vs R Witt, 1996     Nov-24-10 Topalov vs M Lodhi, 2010     Nov-12-10 Tal vs Tolush, 1957     Oct-08-10 Bronstein vs A Foguelman, 1960     Jun-24-10 J Pinter vs Ribli, 1975     Feb-23-10 S Horrocks vs G Mancini, 2010     Jan-11-10 Corus Group A (2010)     Apr-28-09 D Wolford vs J Jordan, 1981     Apr-09-09 G Szabo vs S Zawadzki, 2004     Jan-19-09 R Rubenchik vs M Ashley, 2000     Nov-28-08 Carlsen vs L Drabke, 2003     Nov-25-08 J Rowson vs Carlsen, 2008     Oct-30-08 L Keitlinghaus vs T Fogarasi, 1996     Aug-26-08 Anand vs P Thipsay, 1987
