Jan-23-06 Bogoljubov vs H Hussong, 1938 
| |
| Antipholous: Wow...this one took me forever. In fact...I didn't get it. Oh, well. It seems that Sundays are sometimes easy and Monday's are difficult at times. I'll be alright. I can see new tactical standpoints now. As I'm only rated 1301, I'm not that upset. |

Jan-20-06 Klimov vs Gorbunov, 1989
| |
| Antipholous: <Kiadra> Don't play the King's Gambit. It's way too risky for white. It might be good to play against newbies that have no idea what they're suppossed to do, but black can get a reasonably large advantage on white very easily. Recent theory shows the King's Gambit is ... |

Jan-09-06 D Valerga vs C Lujan, 2004
| |
| Antipholous: <rishi> It's still a sacrifice. A sacrifice is giving up material to gain a position where you can gain even better material and position. If we're not giving up material to gain something else in return, we call that a blunder. |

| |
| Antipholous: <NakoSonorense this is rediculous...I can't even solve a tuesday puzzle> Take heart my friend. Sometimes a Sunday puzzle has been easy for me while a Tuesday puzzle kept me down. Not only does it have to do with the length of the combination and more a more complex ... |

Jan-02-06 A Thorgrimsdottir vs M Stefanidi, 2003
| |
| Antipholous: I'm dumbfounded why white played 28.Rf4?? Obviously it's threatening mate, but is easily thrwarted by the obvious 28...Qe1+!...Qxe6 as before mentioned. Black made a bigger blunder of taking the rook and lost the game. This is the FIDE Women's World Championship? Maybe it's just |

| Antipholous: Why the crap did White play 23. f4???
Is that the way you do that? It's a question mark following a the blunder note (??)? |

Dec-23-05 Ivkov vs A Dueckstein, 1967
| |
| Antipholous: <YouRang> Thanks, I didn't see the rook just staying put. I'm an idiot. I really felt stupid when you said that. |

Dec-23-05 Keres vs A Tarnowski, 1952
| |
| Antipholous: I think that Ne7+ wasn't the real kicker of this. Rb7! is the kicker here. I'm sure that white had this planned from that move as black's Queen really only has one escape square. The Bishop down protecting White's pawn at g5 is just a beautiful defense preventing the Knight's ... |

Dec-21-05 Pachman vs G Gunnarsson, 1967
| |
| Antipholous: I saw 26.Rxe6 Qxe6 27.Qxe6 Rxc7 28. Qf6+... 29. Qxc8 Does that work or is there a way out I'm not seeing? Granted this pin is much better leaving you with a Rook and a Queen against a Queen instead of a Queen against a Rook. |
