Nov-27-09 Vasyl Ivanchuk    viky: u feel really sad after reading his interview.. If he really is going to retire from serious chess it will be really unfotunate for chess :(      Nov-04-09 V Nenarokov vs A Smorodsky, 1924    viky: 29 Qb4+, Qc5 30 Rc1 now if Qxb4 31 Rxc8+ Be8 32 Rxe8+# 30 ... Bc4 31 Rxc4 b6 32 Rxc5 bxc5 33 Qb7 and Qf7 mate can not be averted      Mar-02-09 N Sakr vs Ali Atwi, 2001    viky: Oh.. I meant black queen falls.. 30 ... Nxd6      Feb-04-09 Klovans vs O Kalinin, 1986    viky: I missed the simple Nxg2 move!!      Feb-03-09 M R Kaldegg vs G Zeissl, 1903    viky: Quite simply -> 15 Qe8+ Kxe8 16 Bb5+ king can go to Kd8 or Kf8 and Re8+#      Jan-26-09 N Firman vs Areshchenko, 2008    viky: indeed very easy one 18 Qxc8, Qxc8 19 Nxe7+ Kh8 20 Nxc8 Rxc8 leaves white a piece up      Jan-25-09 Corus Group A (2009)    viky: It seems to me that Short will not be able to hold it together.. What does computers have to say about this game? Is it a draw?      Jan-22-09 R Biolek vs T Oral, 1997    viky: There was a flaw in my analysis after 30... Rxg1+ 31 Kxg1 Bxh2? 32 Qxh2 Rg6+ 33 Ng2 simple defence for white.. 31... Rg6 is necessary      Jan-20-09 Larsen vs P Large, 1987    viky: Oh.. I did not see Bishop on b2! that is bad.. because the continuation of Rxg7 does not work anymore.. I am not sure but black is just one pawn down after Rxf7 Qe8 and now we can not play Rd7 ..      Jan-19-09 R Rubenchik vs M Ashley, 2000    viky: okay this is how it goes.. 30... Rxd1! if 31 Rxd1 Rf2+# if 31 Rxd2 Rxd2 Now white is piece down but it is not over yet! if white tries to save with 32 Rf1 Ra1! now the threat is Nd2+ which forks rook there is no use of moving king because 33 Kf4 g4 if 34 Ke5 Rd2! and no way to escape      Jan-18-09 Motylev vs A Iljushin, 2000     Jan-13-09 Tkachiev vs Ponomariov, 2008     Jan-10-09 C Bauer vs Bologan, 2001     Dec-30-08 N Lisicic vs D Arsic, 2008     Dec-24-08 A Kosten vs Chandler, 1991     Dec-15-08 R Valdes vs S Laouini, 2008     Dec-12-08 Ljubojevic vs E Torre, 1975     Dec-09-08 A Kvon vs E Acuner, 2005     Dec-07-08 B Mathews vs J Subervi, 2008     Dec-04-08 E Ghaem Maghami vs B Roselli Mailhe, 2008     Dec-03-08 Dresden Olympiad (2008)     Dec-03-08 M Palac vs E Agrest, 2008     Dec-01-08 Timman vs Short, 1990     Nov-26-08 Tiviakov vs Tukmakov, 1993     Nov-25-08 Anand vs Salov, 1991     Nov-25-08 Tukmakov vs D Norwood, 1990     Nov-19-08 J Fedorowicz vs K Leung, 2001     Nov-18-08 Korchnoi vs P Bakker, 1976     Nov-17-08 H Pollmaecher vs A Saalbach, 1861     Nov-06-08 Oll vs T Shaked, 1997     Nov-05-08 Glek vs S Arkhipov, 2001     Nov-03-08 Viswanathan Anand     Nov-01-08 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     Oct-30-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)     Oct-24-06 Essent Tournament (2006)     Sep-21-06 Van Wely vs Kramnik, 1998     May-08-06 MTel Masters (2006)     Apr-27-06 D Podhraski vs S Jeric, 2001     Apr-08-06 Nisipeanu vs Topalov, 2006     Mar-10-06 Topalov vs Leko, 2006     Mar-01-06 Koneru vs Z Nemeth, 2005     Feb-28-06 Morelia-Linares (2006)     Feb-26-06 Bacrot vs Aronian, 2006     Feb-20-06 Aronian vs Topalov, 2006     Oct-05-05 Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov, 2005     Oct-04-05 J Polgar vs Topalov, 2005     Oct-04-05 FIDE World Championship Tournament (2005)     Oct-01-05 Topalov vs Adams, 2005     Jun-27-05 Adams vs Hydra, 2005     Jun-25-05 Adams vs Hydra, 2005     May-22-05 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2005     May-21-05 Topalov vs Ponomariov, 2005     May-19-05 Adams vs Topalov, 2005     May-19-05 J Polgar vs Ponomariov, 2005
