AlexanderG has kibitzed 7 times to chessgames

Jun-19-11 Boleslavsky vs Lilienthal, 1941    AlexanderG: 32..Ng4 is a blunder - the knight was guarding against the back rank mate. 32..c2 seems to draw.      Aug-17-10 Anderssen vs Zukertort, 1868    AlexanderG: I wonder why White resigned. 47.Bxe5+ Kxe5, 48.Rxe7, and it looks like even game. If 47... fxe5, 48.f6, and White seems to be winning.      Apr-25-10 Boleslavsky vs Bondarevsky, 1941    AlexanderG: <laskereshevsky 17.Pcxb the position of the White king will of course be more secure than with 17.Paxb...> I wonder why Botvinnik thought that. 17.cxb opens c-file for the black rook aimed at the white king, which, in fact, proved fatal a few moves later.      Mar-18-10 J Polgar vs K Arkell, 1988    AlexanderG: Can anyone explain why Arkell played 26..e6 creating a passed pawn? 26..exd6 would have removed the pawn.

What was he thinking?      May-03-09 Reti vs Alekhine, 1925    AlexanderG: <SimonWebbsTiger> If White plays 31.Rxe2, Black has to re-capture Rxe2. Then 32.Ne1. If 32...Raa2 - 33.Nd3 defending f2. Eventually, White can bring the Night from b7 to help defend the King. White can at least hope to turn this into Rook vs minor piece drawn ending. Even ...      Apr-17-09 Gufeld vs Tal, 1954    AlexanderG: <capablancakarpov: 19.Bxe4 Bh6! 20.g6 Rxe4 recovering the piece...> 20...g6 is not forced. Black can move 20...Kh1 and put the white bishop under attack. I think the reason for 19...Rxe4 is: if 19...Bxe4 then 20.Bxd6 cxd6 21.Rxe4 and it is an even exchange. 19...Rxe4 pins ...
