Oct-08-22 Glek vs F Kroeze, 1996   CherrylandCafe: Game no. 15 in Vierspringerspiel Glek Variante by Glek, 1997 Schmidt Schach      Jun-11-22 J M Ripley vs O Hardy, 1963    CherrylandCafe: [Event "Australasian Masters IM"] [Site "Melbourne AUS"] [Date "2019.12.15"] [Round "2.2"] [White "Maung, Maung Kyaw Zaw Hein"] [Black "Levi, Eddy"] [Result "0-1"] [WhiteElo "2274"] [BlackElo "2132"] [ECO "A97"] 1. Nf3 d6 2. d4 f5 3. g3 Nf6 4. Bg2      May-27-21 Capablanca vs E Delmonte, 1901    CherrylandCafe: "Sergash: Jose Raul Capablanca was 12 years old when he disputed this game and was already probably the best player of Cuba (he would become national champion that same year)" Though Capablanca beat Cuban champion J. Corzo in the 1901 match, the title was not at stake.      Oct-12-20 L Eisenberg vs Capablanca, 1909    CherrylandCafe: My best job ever on Capablanca's games in Guess-The-Move (par was 92, but my 146 raised par to 101)! My reward for long stretches of 3-point guesses was arriving in a lost position at move 35. The tactics in the two rooks-vs.-rook plus knight ending are gorgeous.      Apr-30-20 J Ziogaite vs A Rudolf, 2012   CherrylandCafe: Watch the black knight play in each quadrant.      Mar-31-19 chessgames.com chessforum    CherrylandCafe: I'd like to be able to identify Guess h Move games from the database list view without having to virw the game.      Mar-01-17 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858    CherrylandCafe: This game belongs in A First Book of Morphy, to demonstrate how three extra moves in development adequately compensate for an opening pawn sacrifice.      Jan-17-10 ragdeam chessforum    CherrylandCafe: Please send the invitation to friscodelrosario@sbcglobal.net.      Jan-09-10 Wesley So    CherrylandCafe: That's real nice of you. I'll look for that invitation, and try to make the event, but Ted Castro and I aren't yet NMs. Frisco Del Rosario      Aug-07-06 Martin Appleberry    CherrylandCafe: That is the Martin Appleberry who is still friends with Alan Kobernat.
