May-23-07 Kasparov vs E Gambale, 2004 
| |
| DMBFan23: man it looks like the c4 pawn is undefended after 15. axb4 but if 15...Qxc4 then 16. Bxb6 is pretty nasty |

May-18-07 Reshevsky vs Fine, 1941
| |
| DMBFan23: <Isn't Qxd5 obvious? How can white miss it?> When I play chess, I wish I had a little man sitting on my shoulder who would pop out and say "white to move and win!" :) |

| |
| DMBFan23: I wish I could come up with sacrifices half as cool as this. Sadly, my style is pretty boring. |

Apr-16-07 Caro-Kann, Two Knights, 3...Bg4 (B11)
| |
| DMBFan23: In the C-K (my main defense against 1. e4) the light squared bishop is often bad due to pawns on c6 and e6 (and possibly d5 in many variations). I usually find my knights can become better than the opponent's bishops in the semi-open positions that typically arise from the C-K, but |

Mar-27-07 S Lorenz vs A Orlov, 2001
| |
| DMBFan23: I solved it, so it definitely means it ain't TOO hard. I haven't been around long enough to know what a Tues. puzzle should be like, so yeah |

Mar-09-07 Robert James Fischer
| |
| DMBFan23: <playground player: Mr. Fischer's character is so repulsive that I find it impedes my appreciation of his art. Chess does not need someone who advocates a new Holocaust.> What is everyone's thought on this? I can't really "cheer" for Fischer when I replay his games ... |
