The position after 28...Qd1 29.Rh4 Qh5 30.Nxh5 gxh5 31. Rxh5 Bf5 is actually equal and will likely result in a perpetual check after Black's Queen finds her way to the ...      Apr-05-17 Biographer Bistro    Alpinemaster: I just wanted to thank all the biographers that contributed to <Carlson-Karjakin World Championship Match 2016>! Through collaboration, I believe we have drafted a spectacular, dispassionate and historically accurate synopsis...and a heck of a good read too. Magnificent ...      Aug-04-16 Santasiere vs S E Almgren, 1942    Alpinemaster: <slowcrawl> Nope - you should have read the article you are referencing! <phony Benoni> isn't quite correct here, either.

Chess historian alert: I seriously doubt Dalmy is the oldest chess player (and human) alive, today. Need a date of death on this guy and over 100 more on the site. Please see: https://zanchess.wordpress.com/2014...      May-03-15 Biographer Bistro    Alpinemaster: Note for Player Profile of "Sean J Manross": American Open Scholastic Champion 2010. Author of "Mastering Chess: Through the Ages", a comprehensive chess history encompassing the evolution of pre-history chess through the Romantic era of Paul Morphy. Noted Southern California ...      May-08-14 US Championship (2014)    Alpinemaster: No Naka. No legitimacy. No interest.      Feb-04-14 Aronian vs Nakamura, 2014    Alpinemaster: "Knockin' Around Naka" (You heard it here first folks)      Dec-22-13 Polerio vs G da Cutri, 1590    Alpinemaster: This game is amazingly educational for two reasons: The early Romantic (super tactical aggression with little concern for strategy) tendencies of Il Putino's companion, Polerio, lead him to confidently pursue positions which would enable the champion to wrest his opponent from      Dec-22-13 J Leonard vs F Perrin, 1861    Alpinemaster: If this game was indeed played in 1580 it would have been, in all likelihood, played against Paolo Boi in their vigorous match in Rome.
