Feb-14-19 R Sheldon vs G Kacheishvili, 1996    zealouspawn: Good pun, but it’s a crime we didn’t have a Valentine’s Day theme. How about the recent awesome game from the Cairn’s cup leader? V Gunina vs M Sebag, 2019 I’m no genius pun-maker, but any should work “Be my Valentina” “Happy Valentina”      Nov-04-14 Ronald Simpson    zealouspawn: I want to thank Akinov for putting up the autobiography... I know it has been a little while since he passed now but for those of us in NC who knew him or have played against him I just want to add a little anecdote. I played Ron only two or three times and certainly didn't know      Nov-04-14 R Simpson vs M Thaler, 2008   zealouspawn: What a fantastic illustration of Alekhine's gun      Jan-10-13 T Hillarp Persson vs T Thomsen, 1997    zealouspawn: Seems like everyone is following up the line 18 Rxh7 Kxh7 19 Ng5+ Kh6 but I found 20 Nxe6 rather than 20 Rh1+ Upon 20 Nxe6 (a "quiet" move), Rh1 mate is threatened. 20.. Kh5 21. Qe2+ Kh4 (or Kh6) 22. Rh1# 20.. Kh7 21. Rh1+ Kg8 22. Qxg6#      Sep-11-12 Wojtaszek vs Nakamura, 2012    zealouspawn: It's interesting that the very pairing after Hikaru blasts his team on twitter (aimed primarily at Onischuk), Naka's team caries him to victory despite his loss on the top board. Of course, this match didn't really matter and the previous one did for metal placement.      Sep-08-12 Ding Liren vs Onischuk, 2012    zealouspawn: I was watching the video.. and he did indeed look bored and uninterested in calculation. If that was ACTUALLY the case, that would be the only thing that justifies Naka's tweet. Of course, how a GM "looks" while they are at the board can be deceiving. Before passing judgement, ...      Sep-07-12 Grischuk vs Kamsky, 2012    zealouspawn: With this win and Nakamura's win over Kramnik, the Americans hand team Russia their first loss in the Olympiads! Go USA!      Aug-27-12 C Bauer vs A Istratescu, 2012    zealouspawn: rapid, I'm no "expert" either (i guess by USCF unofficial title I am, but I'm no more an expert of chess than a 2200 player is a master of chess). however, look at the position after just black's 16th move. The pieces all seem great to me (except for maybe the f6 knight). I ...      Aug-27-12 P Nguyen vs H Tikkanen, 2011    zealouspawn: Abdel Irada AND Tiggler: Yes, I just saw both of your lines :) my line still wins but not nearly as quickly as yours--that's one of the things about we chess players--we find a win that best fits our style first, and then most of the time we stop looking there. This is both a      Aug-27-12 C Bauer vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2012   zealouspawn: 29 f5 is a move a lot of players wouldn't even consider! Its a nice reminder to pay attention to tactics even in positions that seem relatively tame (Here we see a pin on one pawn and a removing-the-defender tactic on the other). As Nimzovich said, "The defensive power of a ...      Aug-27-12 C Bauer vs Bacrot, 2012     Aug-27-12 S Maze vs C Bauer, 2012     Aug-27-12 Tkachiev vs C Bauer, 2012     Aug-27-12 French Championship (2012)     Aug-27-12 Bird vs NN, 1869     Aug-24-12 Shimanov vs Rapport, 2012     Aug-24-12 A Ipatov vs S Mazur, 2012    Aug-24-12 Rapport vs M Antipov, 2012     Aug-23-12 Fressinet vs C Bauer, 2012    Aug-23-12 C Bauer vs M Lagarde, 2012     Aug-23-12 H Hamdouchi vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2012     Aug-23-12 R Edouard vs Tkachiev, 2012    Aug-23-12 H Hamdouchi vs R Edouard, 2012    Aug-22-12 Dzindzichashvili vs Y Sakharov, 1957     Aug-22-12 J Zhao vs X Bu, 2012     Aug-15-12 Z Tan vs V Cmilyte, 2011     Jul-25-12 Sutovsky vs Jobava, 2012    Jul-25-12 Nakamura vs Harikrishna, 2012     Jul-01-12 Mikhalevski vs R Gardner, 2012     May-17-12 Anand vs Gelfand, 2012     May-10-12 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     Mar-20-12 N Pogonina vs H Sahin, 2012     Mar-17-12 Vitacek vs Duras, 1900     Feb-21-12 Pillsbury vs NN, 1899     Feb-01-12 Shirov vs Y Hou, 2012     Jan-31-12 Shirov vs T Baron, 2012    Jan-29-12 J Polgar vs V Ikonnikov, 2012     Jan-29-12 Gelfand vs Aronian, 2012     Dec-15-11 M Rubil vs D Feletar, 2010     Oct-17-11 T Gnirk vs N Katte, 2007     Oct-06-11 Janowski vs E Schallopp, 1896     Sep-08-11 Vachier-Lagrave vs E Bricard, 2011     Aug-31-11 Keres vs B Malich, 1962     Aug-04-11 London vs Athens, 1897     Jul-26-11 Kramnik vs Giri, 2011     Jul-26-11 A Stripunsky vs I Ibragimov, 2006    Jul-26-11 Tal vs Kasparov, 1980     Jul-25-11 J Heral vs P Meitner, 1873    Jul-24-11 Ponomariov vs Giri, 2011     Jul-24-11 Sydney vs Melbourne, 1912     Jul-21-11 C H Maderna vs R Shocron, 1953     Apr-26-11 Barcza vs L Prins, 1952     Apr-05-11 Shirov vs D Pira, 1990     Apr-02-11 E Dizdarevic vs P Hrvacic, 2001     Mar-31-11 Onischuk vs C Balogh, 2008     Mar-29-11 S Hamann vs Uhlmann, 1963     Mar-29-11 Winawer vs Bird, 1883     Mar-29-11 Macieja vs H Daurelle, 2011     Mar-26-11 A Moiseenko vs M Parligras, 2011    Mar-23-11 J Smorenberg vs A Bhuiyan, 2000     Mar-20-11 B Badea vs Z Varga, 2000     Mar-16-11 J L Hammer vs E Dearing, 2011     Mar-14-11 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2011     Feb-26-11 R Hughes vs A Stolarczyk, 2006     Feb-14-11 I Cheparinov vs V Papin, 2011     Feb-11-11 R Pernet vs C Costello, 1982    Feb-09-11 C Mabe vs M Kekelidze, 2010     Feb-09-11 Iturrizaga Bonelli vs Kamsky, 2011     Feb-09-11 V Nenarokov vs P Romanovsky, 1927     Feb-07-11 A F Ker vs M Barlow, 2011    Feb-07-11 Mikhalevski vs Ivanchuk, 2011     Feb-07-11 C Bloodgood vs G Trefzer, 1958     Feb-03-11 R Hess vs K Kiewra, 2011    Feb-03-11 Naroditsky vs R Hess, 2011    Feb-02-11 I Odesskij vs P Skacelik, 2001     Jan-27-11 Ponomariov vs Grischuk, 2011     Dec-20-10 A Speijer vs Lasker, 1908     Dec-20-10 I Kurnosov vs Jakovenko, 2010    Dec-15-10 Karjakin vs Nepomniachtchi, 2010     Nov-30-10 J Polgar vs Topalov, 2010     Nov-04-10 Tal Memorial (2010)     Nov-04-10 H Titz vs M Zurel, 2005    Oct-26-10 Y Wang vs Anand, 2010     Oct-08-10 Kramnik vs N Sedlak, 2010    Sep-17-10 K Shanava vs Kamsky, 2010     Feb-25-10 Aronian vs V Gashimov, 2010     Feb-20-10 Linares (2010)     Feb-14-10 F Vallejo Pons vs Topalov, 2010     Feb-10-10 B Garfinkel vs F M Wren, 1933     Dec-03-09 Kamsky vs Leko, 2008     Nov-05-09 Tal Memorial (2009)     Oct-23-09 Aronian vs A Istratescu, 2009     Sep-22-09 Kuzubov vs J L Hammer, 2009     Sep-15-09 J Krejcik vs Reti, 1922     Sep-11-09 Grischuk vs Karjakin, 2009     Sep-08-09 Shirov vs Aronian, 2009     Sep-04-09 S Prathamesh vs Short, 2009     Aug-21-09 Y Wang vs A Timofeev, 2009     Aug-18-09 Ivanchuk vs Gelfand, 2009     Aug-11-09 Aronian vs E Alekseev, 2009     Aug-01-09 Timman vs V Ikonnikov, 2009     Jul-27-09 Vachier-Lagrave vs Caruana, 2009     Jul-27-09 H Happel vs L Day, 2001     Jun-25-09 Ivanchuk vs Morozevich, 1996     Jun-13-09 Fischer vs Fine, 1963     Jun-08-09 D Howell vs Mikhalevski, 2005    Jun-05-09 Motylev vs Rublevsky, 2009     Jun-05-09 Naiditsch vs Sutovsky, 2009    May-30-09 K Makarova vs M Keskel, 2001    May-24-09 Ivanchuk vs L Dominguez Perez, 2009     May-04-09 de Firmian vs R Byrne, 1994     May-01-09 I Ivanov vs Miles, 1982     Apr-30-09 Pillsbury vs Showalter, 1894     Apr-29-09 Aronian vs Leko, 2009     Apr-20-09 Ivanchuk vs Kasimdzhanov, 2009     Mar-26-09 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2009     Mar-25-09 Aronian vs Morozevich, 2009     Mar-16-09 Morozevich vs Y Wang, 2009    Feb-21-09 Topalov -
